Yes ; fruit in good condition to show the prominent ribs and non- 
winged beak so characteristic of this species. — C.E.S. Your fruits 
answer well to the figure of the fruit oiparadoxa given by Lindman 
(“Sv. Eh”, 1918, p. 120), and also, but not quite so well, to the 
figure in Andersson’s “PI. Scand. Cyp.”, t. ill., f. 23. These are 
from a station not given in Nicholson’s “FI. Norf.” At Hock- 
ham, W. Norfolk, Mr. Robinson found beautiful specimens of 
it. — A.B. 
C. paniculata L., forma compada ? Caldecote Fen, W. Norfolk, 
v.c. 28, July 7, 1919. One sheet was sent to Mr. G. C. Druce, 
who passed it “for one specimen,” as f. compada. — J. E. Little. 
UAsafe to judge from a single sheet; one wants a series. The 
spike is certainly rather more compact than usual, but I see 
nothing else to take it away from type. — C.E.S. 
C. Paired F. Schultz ? Dry bank under wood, near Beecham- 
well, W. Norfolk, v.c. 28, July 11, 1919. The material is not as 
good as it should be. Dr. G. C. Druce saw a sheet, and thought 
it probably C. Paired. But (in Hit. 18 Oct. 1919) he writes : “I 
like a small fruit with rounded shoulders and short beak. Those 
[with fruit tapering gradually into the beak] go under muricata L. 
[contigua Hoppe], where there is a membranous margin to the 
beak.” It must be admitted that in these sheets the fruit is not 
so broad in proportion as in some of Schultz’s fruits on his own 
sheet (in Herb. Brit. Mus.), but even in this latter there is some 
variation. A couple of miles away from this present station I 
found C. muricata L , near to Caldecote Fen, on a dry bank (with 
C. divulsa). The fruits were of normal length (6 mm.). The 
suggestion has been made that the dry weather last June may 
account for small fruits. As to this point Dr. Druce writes : 
“I have grown C. muricata in dry soil in my garden, and even in 
this dry year the fruits are normal.” They were normal this 
year at Hitchin, by the roadside (about 5'50 mm. long, tapering 
into a long beak). — J. E. Little. Many of the fruits are certainly 
like those of C. Paired , but on the whole I should refer these 
specimens to C. contigua Hoppe. The fruits — especially the 
apex — are almost the same as those of contigua, still some are 
very like C. Peiired F. Schultz. — A.B. I think correctly named. 
— H.W.P. I agree that these specimens are C. Paired-, the 
shape of the perigynium is unlike that of contigua, and the habit 
is right. A new record for v.c. 28 ? — C.E.S.
