with the stigma mostly deciduous, the nuts more slender and less 
connivent. It is precisely similar to specimens sent out to Mr. 
Watson by Prof. Reichenbach, under the name of Zannichellia poly- 
car pa , (3. tenuissima, Fries, from the Island of Zealand. The true 
polycarpa appears to have been collected in brackish water, as Mr. 
Watson has been good enough to present me with specimens col- 
lected by Prof. Reichenbach in Nolte’s station, which are labelled, 
“ In the Baltic Sea itself at Heiligenhavn.” It should be looked 
for in the Lower Loch of Stenness, Orkney, in which the water is 
brackish. — J. T. Boswell. 
Zannichellia “ palustris .” “Brook at Woodloes, near Warwick, 
October, 1875.” — H. Bromwich. This appears to be the same 
form as the plant just noticed from Mr. Warren. It has the group 
of carpels pedunculate, and each carpel shortly stipitate. -J. T- 
Boswell. 
Ruppia rostellata, Koch. “Marsh Dykes, Faversham, Kent, 
September, 1875.” — F. J. Hanbury. “ Bidston Marsh, Cheshire, July, 
1875 .” — R. Brown. This segregate is not named for either of these 
countries in “ Topographical Botany.” 
Gagea lutea, Kir. “ Cumnor, Berks, April, 1875.” — E. F. 
Linton. County queried in To p. Bot., but possibly the plant is 
not indigenous at Cumnor. — T. R. A. B. 
Luzula albida, DC. “ Kelso, Roxburgh, June, 1875. Sometimes 
met with in pastures and woods in the district.” — A. Brotherston. 
This has occurred near Plymouth, sown, I suspect, with grass seeds. 
Cyperus fuscus, Linn. “ Shalford, Surrey, 1869.” — H. C. Watson. 
Also “ W. H. Beeby, September, 1873.” A good supply of this very 
rare, but possibly introduced species, which has more than sufficed to 
furnish specimens for all the members of the Club who asked for it. 
— T. R. A. B. 
Scirpus carinatus, Sm. “ By the Tamar, near Gawton, Beer 
Ferris, S. Devon, 1875.” Noticed from being from a recently-dis- 
covered station ; it likewise occurs on the E. Cornwall side of the 
river, where it was detected last summer by Mr. Ralfs, of Penzance. 
I consider it a very unsatisfactory species, for whilst it sometimes has 
stems bluntly trigonous for nearly their whole length, at others they 
are round from two to three inches below the panicle, and they vary 
in shape even on the same root, the smaller stems as a rule being 
more conspicuously trigonous than the larger. — T. R. A. B. 
Scirpus trigueter , Linn. By the Tamar with the last, and, 
like it, in both S. Devon and E. Cornwall. — T. R. A. B. 
Carex elongata, Linn. “ Hampton in Arden, Warwickshire. I 
have sent a few specimens of this plant as a record of its occurrence
