Cyperus fuscus L. Walton peat-moor, N. Somerset, Aug. 
25, 1932. All the specimens grew on clearings from the 
adjoining ditch. — H. S. Thompson. 
Eleocharis acicularis R. and S. Abundant in wide mats on 
margin of a pond on Esher West End, Surrey, Aug. 28, 1932. 
— E. C. Wallace. Correct. — J. Fraser. 
Scirpus triqueter L. Banks of R. Tamar, opposite Cawton, 
Cornwall, Coll. A. 0. Hume, Aug. 7, 1901. Comm. S. Bond. 
Bot. Inst. 
Scirpus maritimus L. var. monostachyus Meyer. Borrow 
salt-marsh, N. Somerset, Aug. 10, 1932. In considerable 
quantity. — H. S. Thompson. Dr. Drabble points out that 
etymologically the spelling adopted (from Loud. Cat.) seems 
better than monostachys of Meyer, and as quoted in many 
‘ Floras.’ I agree with White and Marshall in regarding this 
and other named varieties as mere forms or states. — H. S. 
Thompson. 
Carex divisa Huds. Several patches on Mitcham Common, 
Surrey ; some in wet and others in dry situations, July 21, 
1932. Not previously recorded from here, I believe. It was 
discovered by a friend of mine, who also found Juncus 
subnodulosus on the Common in some abundance. Perhaps 
this sedge, and (Enanthe Lachenalii which is also near, are 
relics of the days when the tidal Thames waters reached these 
parts. — E. C. Wallace. Apart from locality these specimens 
are most interesting. The spikelets are less crowded and the 
glumes more acuminate than in the usual form of C. divisa. 
Unfortunately the fruits on my sheet are very immature, but 
they seem more elongate and the beak rougher than usual. 
The leaves are narrow and channelled. Can these specimens 
come under the British variety for which C. chaetophylla. 
Steuclel has been suggested ? — J. E. Lousley. An important 
find, and two interesting notes. It was no less an authority 
than C. B. Clarke who considered specimens of mine from 
Seaford, Sussex, 1905, came under the var. chaetophylla 
(Steudel) Kuk., and later Bennett, E. F. Linton and Marshall 
passed as such my 1909 gathering. See Report, 1909-10, 
p. 262.— Ed. 
Carex diandra Schrank. Shapwick peat-moor, N. Somerset, 
June 25, 1932. Very rare in Somerset. Only two sheets sent. 
— H. S. Thompson.
