species, but remark, “ Planta P. pulcbro americano valde similis 
sed foliis submersa non crispata.” The plant of Dr. Druce has 
absolutely no similarity to the American P. pulcher Inch., of 
which I possess a beautiful series. At present 1 am strongly 
inclined to call it a species and not a hybrid. — A. Bennett. 
Heleocharis multicaulis (Sm.). Pond on Wilsey Down, N. 
Cornwall, v.c. 2, Sept. 12, 1924. The heads are rather frequently 
viviparous. — J. E. Little. 
Bhynchospora fusca Ait. Brockenhurst, Hants., Aug. 31 (no 
year). — Bev. H. Roberts. Per Rev. F. A. Rogers, from the Hb. 
of W. Moyle Rogers. Comm. J. E. Little. 
Carex paniculata L., var. simplicior Anders. (1) Swamp near 
Tickenham, N. Somerset, July 8, 1924. Leaves almost filiform. 
(2) Peat bog on Ashcott Moor, Somerset, June 19, 1924.— H. S. 
Thompson. I agree. Very satisfactory examples of this form. — 
C. E. Salmon. 
C. vulpina L., var. nemorosa Rebent. (C. nemorosa Lumn.) ? 
Ref. No. 4422. Lane-side near Whitchurch, N. Somerset, June 
11, 1922. Growing with several other species.— H. S. Thompson. 
Perhaps so, but gathered rather too young. — C.E.S. 
C. contigua Hoppe. Long wiry-stemmed form, many of the 
mature stems being 3 ft. long. Old mining ground near Shipham, 
N. Somerset, Aug. 7, 1924. — H. S. Thompson. I agree. — C.E.S. 
C. contigua X vulpina 1 Ref. No. 4423. Lane-side near Whit- 
church, N. Somerset, June 11, 1922. Both parents and C. clivulsa 
were near. — H. S. Thompson. This is a very interesting gather- 
ing, and I believe Mr. Thompson is right in labelling it contigua x 
vulpina. The more slender less-winged culms are those of 
contigua, and the perigynia, in many cases, are strongly veined as 
in vulpina. In several fruits examined the nuts seemed quite 
sterile. I should value a root to grow very greatly. — C. E. 
Salmon. This seems likely to be correct, but seems to want the 
rampant growth of vulpina, but may be overpowered by the lesser 
growth of contigua. If so, I can find no record of such a hybrid. 
— A. Bennett. 
C. Pairaei F. Schultz [600]. (Greensand) Rowney Warren, 
Beds., v.c. 30, June 14 and July 30, 1924. — J. E. Little. Yes; 
excellent material. — C.E.S. 
C. Pairaei F. Schultz [A], Wallington Park, W. Norfolk, 
v.c. 28. On an outcrop of greensand, Aug. 5 and 9, 1923. — J. E.
