c’lotlied with wliite hairs, and the stinging hairs few. Although 1 hesi- 
tate to place the ]»Iants distributed under either of these varieties in 
the absence of authentic material, J agree that thej'^ are nearer the 
latter.” — A. E. Wade. 
Sdlix 2)eiitaiidra L. (Kef. No. 1466.) 61, S.E. Yorks.; Kelley-

abruptly cus[)idate leaves.” — R. Melville. 
Lagarosiphoii major (Ridley) Moss. 17, Surrey; in flower, small 
pool near Teddington Lock, where it was discovered by Mr J. P. M. 
Rrenan, Oct. 23rd, 1948. — J. E. Lousley. 
Juiiciis tenuis Willd. (Ref. No. 1478.) 34, W. Glos.; in and along- 
side a path in Marian’s Inclosure, near the road between Staunton and 
Crossways, near Coleford, Eorest of Dean, Aug. 9th, 1948. — R. Lewis. 
Luzula pallescens (Wahlenb.) Wahlenb. 31, Hunts.; Denton Fen, 
June 27th, 1948. This species was first found in Britain at Woodwalton 
Een by Mr E. W. Hunnybun on June 13th, 1907 (B.E.C. 1907 Bep., 
312-3, 1908; Watson B.E.C. 1907/8 liep., 159, 1908; Proc. Linn. Soc. 
for Dec. 17th, 1908, p. 7; B.E.C. 1908 Itep., 338-9, 1909; Journ. Bot., 
47, 117, t. 496, 1909). At this locality it occurs in original fenland 
and has been generally regarded as native but its discovery entailed 
such an e.\tension of range from the nearest known localities in Scan- 
dinavia that some slight doubt necessarily remained as to its status 
in a single British station. Later it was found on a botanist’s laivn 
at Pyrfoi'd, Surrey, v.-c. 17 (Journ. Bot., 47, 188 and 260, 1910) where 
it might well have been an introduction. T was therefore delighted 
when ]Mr Francis Kose l)rought me fresh s])ecimens of Duzula pallescens 
from Holme and Denton Fens in May 1948 and at the end of June 1st 
visited the locality with Dr K. C. L. Burges and Mr D. McClintock to 
obtain more mature material. We found the plant in considerable 
quantity on l)oth sides of the road which divides the two fens, growing 
amongst the open birch woodland on i>eaty soil. It was mixed with L. 
inultifiora and some plants seemed to be intermediates. In this second 
locality in Huntingdonshire on the site of the margins of drained Whitt- 
lesey there seems no reason to doubt that it is native and the status 
at Woodwalton is confirmed. — J. E. Lousley. 
Alisma graniineum Gmelin. [Alisma plantago-aguatica L. f. gramini- 
folium AVahl.] 37, AA^orcs.; in several inches of water, muddy edge of 
AA’cstwood Park Pool, Droitwich, Aug. 15th, 1948. — R. C. L. Burges. 
“ This is A. gramineurn Gmelin, which is widely distributed in Europe. 
An account of the species is in preparation.” — J. E. Lousley.
