Plant growing in dense tufts, very unlike the habit of axillaris , 
its chief mimic. — C. E. Salmon. 
C. contigua Hoppe. (1) Wallington, W. Norfolk, v.c. 28, 
June 18, 1922.— J. E Little. Yes. — A.B. and C.E.S. Yes: 
under C. muricata L. — G.C.D. (2) [2222] Ashton Gate, N. 
Somerset, June 5 & 29, 1922. — H. S. Thompson. So I should 
name it. — C.E.S. Yes; the fruit seems right. — ,A.B. (3) Dwarf 
and often prostrate form, persistent about Shipham, N. Somerset, 
June, 1922. — H. S. Thompson. I agree : a dwarf state (caused 
perhaps by local conditions 1). — C.E.S. A small state of 
C. muricata L. — G.C.D. Does not Dr. Druce mean muricata of 
Goodenough non Linn. ?— H.S.T. 
C. Paired F. Schultz ? Sandy land, Midhurst, W. Sussex, 
v.c. 13, July 11, 1922. These plants are from the same locality 
as those distributed to the W.E.C. in 1920 by Preb. Burdon. 
The perigynia measure about 4.0 mm., and have a slightly winged 
margin.- — J. E. Little. Yes ; characteristic in ligule, fruit, etc. — 
C.E.S. I think this must be referred to C. contigua , of which it 
has the fruit; Paired has shorter and relatively broader fruit, 
and the apex is more open. — A.B. 
C. leporina L. Between blocks of stone forming the embank- 
ment of Harloek Reservoir, N. Lancs., v.c. 69&, June 24, 1922. — 
W. H. Pearsall. Yes, in this state it strongly reminds one of 
some N. American species. — A.B. 
C. data All. Bank of water hole near Tickenham, N. Somer- 
set, June 10, 1909. — C. Bucknall. Comm. J.W.W. I suppose 
this must be referred to Gooclenough’s plant (I have no specimens 
of C. Buchii Wimmer), but it seems to me to bear in this good 
fruiting state some differing aspect from stricta ; but of British 
sp. it is stricta. — A.B. 
C. humilis Leysser. Limestone slopes of Durdham Down, 
Bristol, v.c. 34 ; where in places it forms the chief sward of the 
declivities. April— May, 1922. Mature green leaves, July 28, 
1922. — H. S. Thompson. 
C. montana L. Rough pastures, Charterhouse on Mendip, 
N. Somerset, June 1, 1922. — H. S. Thompson. It is rather 
extraordinary how the records of this Carex have increased. 
“Gathered by Mr. Mitten near Tunbridge Wells in 1843”; 
though Borrer gave that date as 1842. But it is not recorded in 
Babington’s “Manual,” ed. 1 (1843). In 1908 it was on record 
for 11 vice-counties; it is now recorded for 22. — A.B.
