Little. I think correct, but rather poor specimen, top sheet,— 
A.B. This is very interesting — and puzzling. The habit, etc., 
is that of C. Pairaei, but some of the spikes and some of the 
fruits are a good way off that species. These particular perigynia 
are narrower and longer beaked than in Pairaei. Are other 
species growing thereabouts ? Can hybridity be hinted at 1 1 
should much like a root to grow and test. — C.E.S. 
C. muricata auct. pint'., var. pseudo-divulsa Syme. Ref. No. 
4425. This is what has often been called in England C. Leersii 
F. Schultz. Roadside near Axbridge, N. Somerset, June 15, 
1922. C. contigua and C. divulsa on same bank. — H.S.T. Three 
sheets seemed C. divulsa , and I have so labelled them. The rest 
appear correctly named C. Pairaei F. Schultz, var. Leersii F. 
Schultz. I think Syme’s name is a little too dubious to use for 
this plant. — C.E.S. 
C. divulsa Stokes. Ref. No. 4424. With small spikelets. 
Lane-side near Whitchurch, N. Somerset, June 11, 1922. — H. S. 
Thompson. Agreed; but gathered rather too young. — C.E.S. 
and A.B. 
C. divulsa Stokes. Langley, Hitchin, Herts., July 19, 1924. 
— J. E. Little. I agree. — C.E.S. 
C. remota x divulsa. E. Sussex, near Waldron, June 11, 1924. 
— C. E. Salmon. This interesting hybrid occurred as a large 
tussock amidst a fine growth of C. remota , with C. divulsa in small 
quantity not far away. The hybrid had many points recalling 
the first-named, but differed from that in having ordy one elon- 
gated bract and more rigid culms, which were strongly scabrid 
near the summit. No good fruit seemed to be forming, and the 
conclusion was arrived at that the plant was barren. See Journ. 
Bot. 1925, p. 140. C. axillaris Good. ( remota x vulpina) is somewhat 
like one plant, but possesses a more acute-angled stem, compound 
lower spikelets, etc. — C.E.S. One like Mr. Salmon, who gathers 
this in situ, is far better able to judge of a hybrid or not. Asch. 
and Graebner do not give such a hybrid; nor does Richter in 
his PI. Europeae. I can see no reason why it should not be 
accepted. — A. Bennett. 
C. [helvola Blytt]. Lochnagar, Aberdeen, Aug. 25, 1924. — H. J. 
Burdon. 1 should not name these specimens J. helvola Blytt. I have 
compared them with specimens named by Blytt, and they do not 
correspond. But they are evidently the other hybrid that Dr. 
Druce found on Ben Lawers (see Ann. Scott. Nat. Hist., Oct. 
1909, pp. 238 — 241). Herr Kukenthall, in letters to Dr. Druce,
