The nuts appear to be sterile in many cases. — C.E.S. I do not 
think this is so ; the hybrid is a much stouter and heavier plant 
in all parts. The early date precludes one from testing the fruits 
if fertile or no. To me the only indication of Hudsonii are the 
male spikes, which are somewhat like those of that species. Why 
is it not a Goodanovrii form 1 — A.B. 
C. Goodenowii Gay, var. angustifolia Blytt (1861). Kef. No. 
3244. Sharpham peat-moor, Somerset, July 1, 1924 Growing 
with C. lasiocarpa. — H.S.T. I do not know Blytt’s plant; it is 
not taken up bj' Ascherson and Graebner. Mr. Thompson’s 
plant is not var. juncea Fr. — C.E.S. I should have named this 
var. j uiiaa Fries = var. juncella Fries olim. — A.B. 
C. huf/iilis Leysser. Durdbam Down, Bristol, v.c. 34, April 
and May, 1922. — H. S. Thompson. Very 'nice flowering speci- 
mens of this sedge, but many of us lack good fruiting examples. 
Bristol botanists please note ! — C E.S. Having often failed to 
find any fruiting examples, I believe the few seeds which mature 
drop very quickly, and that the species is propagated chiefly by 
its very stout creeping and tufted rootstock. — H.S.T. 
C. binervls Sm. var. Corru Candu, S. Aberdeen, v.c 92, 
July 23, 1906. — W. A. Skoolbred. This is not var. alpina Drej. 
( Sadlcri Linton), but it may be var. nigrescens Druce. It agrees 
with the description in “Hayward” — “glumes dark brown, 
spikes shorter.” — C.E.S. 
C. Jiava L. (aggr.). Wilsey Down, N. Cornwall, Sept. 12, 
1924. — J. E. Little. C. Oederi Ritz., var. oedocarpa And. — 
C. E. Salmon. 
C. ? Ref. No. 3436. Ashcott peat-moor, N. Somerset, 
June 19, 1924. Glumes scabrid, utricles ribbed. — H. S. Thompson. 
This is either an abnormal state of C. acutiformis or C. acuiiformis 
crossed with some other species. — C.E.S. This is a state or form 
of C. acutiformis Ehrh., which it sometimes assumes, and one in 
which in Scotland it has been named C. acuta L. I have a 
specimen so named from Edinburgh, 1833, and others from 
Castle Douglas. — A. Bennett. 
C. riparia Curt, forma. Ref. No. 3435. Wet peat bog, Ash- 
cott Moor, Somerset, June 19, 1924. Leaves up to 14 mill, 
broad ; glumes long, needle-shaped ; 7-9 spikelets on each stem. 
— H. S. Thompson. C. riparia Curt. — C.E.S. 
C. riparia Curt., var. humilis Uechtr. Ref. No. 2424. Damp
