three patches, separated from each other by several hundred 
yards. J. effusus Linn., J. conglomeratic Linn, and J. glaucus Ehrh. 
all occur within the same area. — F.J.S. 
J. conglomeratus L. Burleigh Meadows, Langley, Hitchin, 
Herts., v.c. 20, July 19, 1924. — J.E.L. Following up the 
distribution of Juncus conglomeratus in the district round Wilsey 
Down, N. Cornwall, I found that there also, as in Herts., Beds., 
Sussex and W. Norfolk, it is very much scarcer than -/. effusus , 
although evidently widely distributed. The rush-bogs round 
Wilsey Down cover some thousands of acres, and there are 
myriads of J. effusus. Yet I only found small patches of 
J. conglomeratus in three localities, a few on Kittow’s Moor, a few 
in a bog at the headwaters of the River Ottery, and near 
Crackington Haven. — J. E. Little. 
Luzula pilosa Willd. Form with 1 — 3 flowers on the pedicels, 
as in Forsteri, but it is not believed to be a hybrid. Shaded bank 
above Montacute, S. Somerset. May 29, 1924. — H. S. Thompson. 
By every test that I can apply to this it seems to be L. pilosa , 
without any features of L. Forsteri . — J. E. Little. 
L. . Woods, Lurgashall, W. Sussex, May 8, 1924. — 
R. J. Burclon. The divaricate panicle-branches and somewhat 
broad leaves appear to indicate L. pilosa. The panicle, however, 
is denser, and apart from its divarication has much more the 
aspect of L. Forsteri. One or two capsules appear, but owing to 
the early date of gathering it is not possible to say whether they 
will produce seeds. — J. E Little. These appear to be inter- 
mediate between L. Forsteri and L. pilosa ( vernalis ), and show 
some of the characteristics of both. The large curved caruncle 
on the seeds and the reflexed peduncles are typical Of pilosa , the 
small acute capsule shorter than the perianth is typical of Forsteri , 
while the width of the leaves (2 - 5 — 5mm.) is intermediate be- 
tween the figures given by Coste for Forsteri and pilosa. The 
plants agree with the description of the hybrid pilosa x Forsteri 
( - L. Bo7-reri Bromf.), which has been recorded from the same 
locality, except that the flowers are certainly not “always sterile ” 
as Engler claims in Pflanzenreich. — F. J. Sheldon. 
Sparganium negledum Beeby. (1) Wallington Park, W. 
Norfolk, Oct. 12, 1924. — Det. Ar. Bennett. (2) Fordham, W. 
Norfolk, Oct. 9, 1924. — Det. Ar. Bennett. (3) Ippolyts Brook, 
Hitchin, Herts., Oct 18, 1 924. (If so, new to Herts. 1) Total, 
22 packets of seed. — J. E. Little. Mr. A. Bennett agrees to the 
Hitchin plant being negledum.
