In Report 1925-1926, p. 355, Mr. Little himself compared 
the two years gatherings better than I could do. I regret 
that I can say nothing further, but shall try to get a botanist 
to see with me these plants in situ later in the summer than 
June. — H. S. T. 
Carex binervis Sm. (Fruits). [795]. Black Down, W. 
Sussex, Aug. 17, 1928. — J. E. Little and R. J. Burdon. The 
fruits are as Smith described them, with a broad smooth beak. 
In three other books the beak is described as scabrid or rough 
at the edges. — J. Fraser. 
Carex extensa Good. Border of salt marsh, Berrow, N. 
Somerset, July 16, 1931. From huge clumps, one being three 
feet across. Some of the specimens have (what Coste calls in 
Carex) gynobasic heads of fruit on short filiform stems spring- 
ing from a leaf-sheath 10 and 12 inches below the other 
flower-heads. Some heads have six divisions and the lowest 
one branched again. — H. S. Thompson. White (FI. Bristol, 
1912), was doubtful whether C. extensa still existed at Berrow, 
so the specimens are especially welcome. — J. E. Lousley. 
Setaria viridis Beauv. (Fruits). Waste ground, Riddy Lane, 
Hitchin, Herts., Oct. 11, 1930. — J. E. Little. The caryopsis 
or fruit is very finely punctate on the back like that of S. 
verticillata, but the spike is like that of viridis, and right for 
the species. — J. Fraser. 
Apera Spica-venti Beauv. Berrow sands, in the strand 
zone, N. Somerset, July 16, 1931. Panicles up to 19cms. or 
20cms., i.e. rather smaller than usual. But this is not A. 
interrupta, which a friend reports in lit. having seen at 
Berrow. — H. S. Thompson. Correct. — W. 0. Howarth. 
Avena strigosa Schreb. In oat stubble by road from St. 
Brelade to Don Bridge, Jersey, Aug. 29, 1930. — I. A. Williams. 
L. V. Lester- Garland, in his Flora of Jersey, 1903, p. 158, 
records this plant only in the “ List of Errors, Ambiguities, 
and Plants recorded for Jersey on Insufficient Authority,” his 
sole record being that of Professor La Gasca, of Madrid, in 
1839. In 1930, however, I found A. strigosa to be quite 
frequent in field-borders, sandy roadsides, etc., at any rate in 
the Western portion of the Island. — I. A. W. Correct. — 
\\ . 0. Howarth. It is A. strigosa Schreb. sub-sp. glabrescens 
Marquand, var. albida Marq. — J. Fraser.
