leaves in this plant, as I have mentioned in ‘ English Botany,’ vary 
much in the shape of their apices, the three inner leaves being some- 
times obtuse and sometimes acute. The acute form is, no doubt, that 
wliich commonly occurs in the small states ; but it is by no means con- 
fined to such, and certainly does not always coexist with terete leaves. 
Juncus bufonius, var .fasciculatus. I have sent out specimens of this 
plant from the shores of Loch Levcn ; it is the form J. bufonius as- 
sumes wlien growing in sandy places which are inundated in winter, 
but become perfectly dry in summer. 
Cladium Mariscus. “ Aclnnere, near Frodsham. Although this has 
been observed in Mid-Cheshire, it has never, so far as 1 am able to 
ascertain, been recorded from West Cheshire.” — J. F. Robinson. 
Garex paniculata, var. pseudo-Bonningliauseniana. Miss E. Jones 
sends from Denbighshire a Carex which, at first sight, has precisely the 
appearance of O. Bonninghauseniana, except that the bracts are much 
shorter ; the fruit is precisely the same as that of normal C. paniculata. 
From my recollection of Mr. H. C. Watson’s depauperate C. Bdnning- 
hauseniana, I think Miss Jones’s specimens simulate C. Bonning- 
hauseniana even more closely than Mr. Watson’s. 
Air a uliginosa, Weihe. “Abundant about Fleet Pond, in North 
Hants, September, 1869. New to England. Full explantions about 
the plant and locality have been given in the ‘ Journal of Botany ’ for 
October, 1869. (N.B. The name was inadvertently written ‘ Jlexuosa , 
Weihe,’ in the head-title of the article referred to.)” — IT. C. Watson. 
Mr. A. G. More also sends specimens from Galway, so that all the 
members of the club have been supplied. No doubt, when the plant 
is better known, it will be discovered in other localities. At present, 
Fleetpond, Hants, Mr. H. C. Watson ; Cawston Decoy, Norfolk, Mr. 
Bryant, 1776 ( teste Trimen in Journ. of Bot. 1869, p. 352) ; Forfar- 
shire, G. Don and J. M‘Kay ; Loch of Drum, Aberdeen, Herb. Mus. 
Brit, (teste Trimen, loc. cit.) ; and near Roundstoue, Connemara, A. 
G. More, — are the only stations in which the plant is known to have 
been gathered. Hudson, from his description of Aira setacea, and from 
saying that the plant is common on sandy heaths in Yorkshire and Lan- 
cashire, evidently confounded A. uliginosa, Weihe, with A. jlexuosa, 
Auct., though his description of A. setacea is, no doubt, partly taken 
from A. uliginosa, Weihe.*
