Eriocaulon septangulare With. Recess, Connemara, Co. 
Galway, Sept. 17, 1902. — Miss Joyce. Comm. S. London 
Bot. Inst. 
Eleocharis uniglumis Schultes. Near New Milton, Hants., 
July 20, 1928. — L. B. Hall. Beautiful examples. This 
species is carefully described from fresh Hampshire specimens 
by Townsend in his Flora. — C. E. Salmon. Is E. multicaulis 
Smith. — A, Bennett. Possibly a mixture. — H.S.T. 
Car ex contigua x divulsa ? [679]. Root pieces and 
flowers from Wimbotsham, W. Norfolk, June 12, 1926 : 
fruiting culms Aug. 3, 1928 : fruiting culms Hort. Hitchin, 
ex Wimbotsham, Aug. 16, 1928. — J. E. Little. The characters 
which lead me to suggest the above name are : — (1) C. 
contigua points. An erect moderately stout culm with a 
spike about 6 cm. long. Spikelets having when young 
brown glumes with green midribs. Utricles about 5.5 mm. 
long, at maturity turning chestnut brown, but somewhat 
paler than in C. contigua, and gradually narrowed into a 
relatively long beak of about 1.75 mm. (2) C. divulsa points. 
The lower spikelets are often separated by twice their own 
length. At maturity the utricles spread only slightly, and 
are gradually narrowed at the base. The nut is about 3 mm. 
long and 1.5 mm. broad, i.e. very definitely longer than 
broad. I sent this in 1926 to Mr. Salmon who has also been 
growing it. — J. E. Little. This looks to me like ordinary 
divulsa, but I do not profess to a critical knowledge of Carex. 
— A. H. Wolley-Dod. Though my specimens lean towards 
divulsa, I also see certain aspects of contigua. Both being 
variable and allied species, it is extremely difficult to deter- 
mine this gathering. If Mr. Salmon still has the plant growing 
will he report on it next year? — H. S. Thompson. 
Carex canescens Lightf. [Ref. Z 20]. Slopes of Mickle 
Fell, N.W. Yorks., July 6, 1928.— J. E. Lousley. 
Carex punctata Gaud. Near Poole, Dorset, July 19, 1928. 
— L. B. Flail. Good specimens of the species. — A. Bennett. 
Leersia oryzoides Sw. With nice exserted panicles. 
Amberley Wild Brooks, W. Sussex, Aug. 19, 1928. — E. C. 
Wallace. Specimens are not always so well flowered as this 
in August. Apparently the species does not extend beyond 
Surrey, S. Hants, and W. Sussex. — J. Fraser. And in 
Dorset by E. F. Linton.— H.S.T. It is now usually written 
Oryza oryzoides. — W. O. Howarth.
