fruits  seem  sterile,  and  the  specimens,  though  perhaps  to 
be  so  named,  are  not  good  representatives  of  Fries’  plant.

C.  [ acutiformis  Ehrh.,  var.  Kochiana  (DC.)] .  Damp 
ground,  Buckland  Wood,  Upwey,  Dorset,  v.c.  9,  June  6, 
1911 — Ida  M.  Boper.  This  is  G.  riparia  Curt. ;  a  form  or 
variety,  analogous  to  C.  acutiformis,  var.  spadicea  Ascher- 
son  and  Graebner’s  “  Synopsis,”  Bd.  II.,  Abth.  2,  p.  215  (C. 
spadicea  Roth  [1789] ;  C.  Kochiana  DC.  (1813] ).  C. 
acutiformis  usually  has  the  female  spikelets  male  at  the 
top  ;  and  the  fruit  is  very  different _ E.S.M.  My  specimen 
has  all  the  appearance  of  C.  riparia  Curt.,  with  all  the 
scales  of  the  male  spikelets  long-cuspidate,  and  the 
perigynia  terete  when  more  matured.  But  I  notice  that 
the  nut  is  not  well-formed  in  the  best  fruits  (none  are  near 
maturity),  which  raises  a  suspicion  of  hybridity.  The  plant 
does  not  resemble  C.  spadicea  Roth  ( C .  Kochiana  DC.)—

C.  inflata  Huds.,  var.  brunnescens  Huds.  Beinn 
Laoigh,  Mid  Perthsh.,  v.c.  88,  July,  1910 _ P.  Ewing.  This 
may  pass,  though  the  inflorescence  is  often  darker.

C .  vesicaria  L.,  var.  Grahami  (Boott).  From  Scotland,

E.  F.  Linton.  This  originally  came  from  the  locus  classicus, 
Glen  Fiagh,  Clova,  Forfarshire.  An  examination  of  the 
specimens  on  my  sheet  shows  my  assertion  that  the 
stigmas  “  are  invariably  three  ”  (Jl.  Bot.,  1911,  p.  197)  to  be 
inexact,  though  I  had  hitherto  always  found  this  to  be  the 
case,  when  they  were  still  present ;  here  they  vary  from 
two  to  three  on  the  same  spikelet,  with  about  equal
