Cladium  Mariscus  Br.  Holme  Moor,  near  Wivelis- 
combe,  S.  Somerset,  v.c.  5,  Aug.  22,  1910.  This  is  a  small 
marsh,  only  a  few  acres  in  extent ;  the  Fen  Sedge  grows 
plentifully  on  its  north  and  west  sides.  New  for  the 
vice-county ;  it  was  believed  to  be  extinct  in  N.  Somerset, 
but  Mr.  H.  Corder  has  this  year  found  one  plant  in  the 
parish  of  Catcott — Edward  S.  Marshall. 
Car  ex  divisa  Huds.  Marshy  pasture  near  the  tidal 
Wye,  Beachley,  W.  Glos.,  v.c.  34,  Sept.  15,  1910.  New  for  the 
Chepstow  neighbourhood ;  but  Mr.  J.  W.  White  has  sent 
specimens  to  the  B.E.C.  from  St.  Philip’s  Marsh,  near 
Bristol,  in  this  vice-county — Edward  S.  Marshall.  Not 
on  record  for  v.c.  34  in  “Topographical  Botany”  or  the 
supplement _ A.B. 
C.  paradoxa  Willd.  Between  Rickmansworth  and 
Harefield,  Middlesex,  v.c.  21,  June  4,  1910.— C.  E.  Salmon. 
This  Carex  has  increased  in  comital  distribution  from 
3  in  1874  to  9  in  1910 !  Mr.  Benbow  some  years  ago 
found  it  in  abundance  near  Uxbridge _ A.B. 
C.  muricata  L.,  var.  Leersii  (F.  Schultz).  Bank, 
under  Sea  Walls,  Bristol,  W.  Glos.,  v.c.  34,  June  22,  1910. 
—Ida  M.  Roper.  Correct.  I  have  the  same  plant  collected 
in  the  locality  by  Mr.  White  five  years  ago _ A.B.J,  I 
think  correctly  named.  Lowest  bract,  glumes  and  fruit 
right,  but  glumes  are  not  usually  (as  is  stated)  only  half 
the  length  of  fruit  with  beak,  although  they  are  noticeably 
shorter  than  in  contigua  {muricata) _ C.E.S.  C.  Leersii 
was  described  as  a  species  by  F.  Schultz ;  and  I  am  not 
quite  satisfied  that  is  is  only  a  variety  of  C.  muricata  L. 
{Paircxi  F.  Schultz),  the  facies  of  which,  in  my  few  speci¬ 
mens,  differs  considerably  from  it.  The  present  plant  is 
doubtless  C.  Leersii ,  though  only  in  young  fruit _ E.S.M. 
C.  axillaris  Good.  (=  remota  x  vulpina).  (1)  With 
the  parents ;  frequent  by  roadsides  near  Coolham,  W. 
Sussex,  v.c.  13,  Aug.  19,  1910.  This  hybrid  is  usually 
readily  distinguished,  at  a  glance,  from  C.  remota ,  by  it 
being  a  much  taller  plant  with  rather  weak  stems, 
obtaining  some  support  from  the  hedgerow  into  which  it 
often  penetrates  from  the  ditch  below.  Some  of  these 
examples  were  fully  four  feet  high,  and  a  few  will  be 
observed  to  have  the  spike  bent  at  almost  a  right  angle
