J. capitatus Weig. La Moie, Jersey, June 14, 1923. 
W. C. Barton. 
Potamogeton Dntcei Fryer. Mostly fruiting specimens, with 
young and older leaves. River Avon at Bath, N. Somerset, v.c. 
6, Aug. 27, and Sept. 1, 1923. First seen there in flower in 
Aug , 1922 by J. W. White, see “Rep. B. E. C,” p. 858. — H. S. 
Thompson. 
Scirpus Tabernaemontani Gfmel. Marsh ditch in the Cheddar 
Valley, North Somerset, June 13, 1901. — J, W. White. Much 
scarcer in N. than in S. Somerset. — H.S.T. 
Spartina alterniflom Lois [403]. Itchen Banks, Southampton, 
Sept. 30, 1923. There are large beds of this plant in the tidal 
Itchen above Southampton, but I noticed that isolated clumps of 
its aggressive congener S. Toumsendii have established themselves 
among it, especially towards high-water mark, and it remains to be 
seen how far it will maintain itself. S. alterniflora seems readily 
distinguishable from S. Townsendii, not only by its sub-erect 
leaves obscurely jointed to the sheaths, but by its relatively 
small anthers (5— 7mm. instead of 10mm. long), and stigmas 
(4mm. instead of 12— 15mm. long). Its stigmas are much shorter 
than those of the much smaller plant S. strida. — H. W. Pugsley. 
Anthoxanthum odoratum L. [685]. St. Aubin’s, Jersey, June 
18, 1923. Large plants with hairy glumes and interrupted 
panicle. This is not the var. villosum Lois, which has the leaf- 
sheaths hairy, and of which I have seen no British specimen. 
Ascb. and Graeb. (Syn.) divide A. odoratum into two groups 
according as the lower glumes have long hairs on the nerves 
or not, and subdivide again. But I doubt whether our British 
plants admit of any rigid or even workable division on these 
lines. Both in Jersey and Guernsey the ordinary plant of the 
maritime cliffs has hairy glumes. — W. C. Barton. My sheet has 
two examples of var. villosum Lois., and one of var. longiaristatum 
Cel. — I.M.R. Correct. This seems to belong to Syme’s var. 
genuina. Opiz enumerates ten varieties of this grass. A. 
Bennett. 
Agrostis setacea Curtis. Heath near Wareham, Dorset, June 
29, 191 4 - — J. W. White. Correct. — A.B. 
A. tenuis Sibth., var. aristata Parn. Winchmore Hill, Middle- 
sex, July 25, 1923. — L. B. Hall. I have not access to Parnell’s 
Scottish Grasses, 1842, where it is figured (tab. 11), but aristata 
is said to have the flower mostly violet. — A. Bennett.
