evoluta Hartm. quae in Silesia quoque a Wimmero lecta est, tunc, si 
tertia adest spica feminea, bracte?,m vaginantem habet. Secund m 
observ itiones CL Boottii (“111. gen. Carex”) planta Sueciei est 
hybrida proles e C. riparia \ v. paludosa et C. Jilifomii, quod in 
Silesiaoa Wimmerus confirmavit.’ There is no record of 0. evoluta 
from Finland, though (J. riparia and lasciocarpa grow together in 
South Finland.” 
Mr, C. E. Salmon says that two named forms of the hybrid are 
known on the Continent; the other form is x C. pseud o-nutans 
Bureau (1885) •— C. acuminata Reichb. (1846); C. spadhea x Jiii- 
formis Aschers. (1864) ; C.Jiliformis < riparia Rouy (1912). That 
form has leaves 5 — 7 mm. broad, fruit only 3 — 3£ mm. long, 
and glumes as long as, or much longer than, the fruits. — H. S. 
Thompson. 
C. hirta L., var. spinosa Mort. Water meadows, St. Cross, 
Winchester, S. Hants., v.c. 11, June 1916. — J. Comber. Under 
that, I think ; but not extreme. Perhaps a form rather than a 
constant variety. — E.S.M. Yes ; I believe correctly labelled. — 
C.E.S. Rather young specimens. In Somerset vim find inter- 
mediate forms of this variety of this most variable sedge. —

Polypogon monspeliensis I)e*f. Thorney Id., W. Sussex, v.c. 13, 
Oct. 11, 1916. — J. E, Little These specimens are small, and do 
not show the lobing of the panicle. Those I gathered in 1873, 
from Plumstead Marshes, Kent, had the panicles 5 inches long 
by 1^ inches wide ; it is then a most beautiful grass. Dr. 
Bromfield (“Phyt.” III. (1850), p. 1083) says that the large form 
is “o major Kunth,” and the smaller one “/3 minor.” He speaks 
of major “ rising to the height of four feet . . . beax-ing a panicle 
from 4 — 5-| inches in length.” and remarks that L’Obel, in 
“IStirpium adversaria nova,” pars II., p., 469 (1605) alludes to the 
great size of the Hampshire plant. — A.B.
