Ruppia  maritima  L.  Newtown  Marshes,  I.  of  Wight, 
v.c.  10,  Sept.  8,  1912. — W.C.  Barton.  Yes. — J.G.  Linnaeus’s 
Sp.  plant.,  ed.  I.  p.  128  (1753)  gives  no  description,  so 
that  the  use  of  the  name  maritima  as  restricted  to  one  of 
the  forms  is  based  on  references  only,  as  the  plant  of  the 
Linnean  Herbarium  is  R.  rostellata  Koch.  This  is  one  of 
the  instances  in  which  I  think  Syme  is  right  in  applying 
the  Linnean  name  to  the  super-species,  and  giving  the 
species,  names,  i.e.  R.  spiralis  and  R.  rostellata.  Mr. 
Barton’s  plant  is  R.  spiralis  Hartm _ A.B. 
Zannichellia  peduneulata  Reichb.  Pond,  Pill,  N. 
Somerset,  v.c.  6,  May  27,  1912.— Ida  M.  Roper.  Correct.— 
A.B.  Z . pedicellata  Fr.  Gathered  too  early;  the  muricate 
projections  on  the  back  of  the  drupelets  only  develop  at  a 
later  stage — E.S.M. 
Scirpios  filif  ormis  Savi,  var.  monostachys.  (1 )  Lancresse 
Common,  Guernsey,  Aug.  5,  1912.—W.  C.  Barton.  Correct; 
more  depauperate.— E.S.M.  (2)  Roadside,  above  Petit  Bot, 
Guernsey,  Aug.  5, 1912.— W.  C.  Barton.  Yes  ;  fine  and  well- 
grown.  This  is,  as  I  have  always  believed,  more  than  a 
mere  state _ E.S.M. 
Carex  remota  L.  x  vulpina  L.  In  ditch  by  roadside 
near  house  called  “ Beale  Oaken,”  near  Nazeing  Church,  S. 
Essex,  v.c.  18,  May  28,  1912.  With  both  parents.— J.’ E. 
Little.  Yes  .  (  =  axillaris  Good.) — C.E.S.  C.  axillaris 
Good.,  which  is  said  to  be  a  hybrid  between  the  two  above 
species,  or  to  be  C.  remota  x  muricata  ? — A.B. 
G .  Goodenoioii  Gay.  Pond  on  Crouch  Green,  Kneb worth, 
Herts.,  v.c.  20,  June  11,1912 — J.E.  Little.  This  is  evidently 
only  C.  vulgaris  Fr.  ( =  C.  Goodenoioii  Gay),  but  certainly 
a  peculiar  form,  simulating  the  C.  trinervis  of  Degland. 
There  is  a  similar  form  in  C.  glauea  ( bulbosa ).  There  does 
not  seem  to  be  any  name  that  exactly  covers  it— you  may 
call  it  /.  pseudo -trinervis — A.B.  In  my  opinion  nearest  C. 
Goodenoioii  Gay,  var.  strictif ormis  L.  H.  Bailey.  It 
scarcely  differs  by  having  broader  leaves  and  utricles 
almost  without  veins _ G.  Kukenthal. 
C.  rariflora  Sm.  Canlochan,  Forfarsh.,  v.c.  90  (at 
2500  feet),  July  1912 — P.  Ewing.  Yes _ A.B.
