0“  Synopsis,”  ed.  2,  p.  845)  thus  describes  his  variety  : _ 
“  humiliore,  robustiore,  floribus  binis  ternisve 
fasciculatis.”  The  specimen  before  me  is  erect,  about 
ten  inches  high  ;  flowers  one  or  two,  rarely  three.  It 
seems  intermediate  between  the  type  and  the  variety. 
I  have  not  seen  a  specimen  or  description  of  var.  ranarius 
Nees.— E.S.M. 
J.  [compressus  Jacq.].  Cropstone  Reservoir,  Leics., 
v.c.  55,  July  28,  1910 — A.  R.  Horwood.  The  flowers  are' 
extremely  small  for  J.  compressus ,  the  habit  very  slender, 
and  the  stems  apparently  trigonous  in  their  upper  part, 
rather  than  compressed.  It  looks  to  me  more  like  J. 
Gerardi ;  but  there  is  no  trace  of  fruit,  and  it  is 
not  accurately  determinable  in  this  condition _ E.S.M. 
Specimens  of  this  at  the  time  of  growth  of  the  plant 
sent  can  only  be  assumed  correct,  as  Leicester  is  an 
inland  county  (though  there  is  a  record  of  Gerardi  for 
the  county).  It  is  impossible  to  be  quite  sure  of  this 
species  unless  in  good  fruit— A.B. 
J.  tenuis  Willd.  (1)  Plentiful  for  nearly  100  yards 
on  both  sides  of  a  byroad  leading  from  Dalmally  Bridge 
to  a  farmhouse  called  Craig,  Argyllsh.,  v.c.  98,  associated 
with  several  other  species  of  Juncus ;  July  19,  1910. _

granite-quarry  railroad,  at  500  feet,  about  2£  miles  from 
Loch  Awe  Station,  Argyllsh.,  v.c.  98,  July  12,  1910. 
Scattered  over  about  30  yards.  Although  this  station  is 
an  artificial  one,  I  think  that  the  plant  may  have  spread 
fiom  a  natural  habitat,  like  Potentilla  Sibbaldi,  which 
occurs  on  the  same  track,  lower  down ;  it  is  far  from 
houses  or  cultivation.— Edward  S.  Marshall.  (3)  Road¬

J.  subnodulosus  Schrank  (  =  obtusiflorus  Ehrh.) 
Locally  abundant  on  Holme  Moor,  Slape  Moor,  etc.,  near 
Wiveliscombe,  S.  Somerset,  v.c.  5,  Aug.  22,  1910.  New 
for  the  vice-county.— E.  S.  Marshall.
