been given to tlie Irish ZcmnicheUio’. Here, in my district, they 
are rare. — S. A. Stewart. This is Z. polijcarpa, Nolte, apparently 
the true plant, of which I have been favoured with a specimen from 
Mr. H. C. Watson, collected by Prof. Pieicheiibach atNolte’s station, 
Heiligenbavn, Schleswig, which is a stouter plant, with more con- 
nivent, longer, smoother, and more sausage-like carpels with 
shorter styles than in the Orkney plant, which is no doubt var. 
tenuissima, Fries. — J. T. Boswell. Zannichellia polycarpa, from 
Belfast. Very interesting. — C. C. Babington. 
liuppia rostellata, Koch. Tidal ditch, Plymouth, S. Devon. 
August, 187G. — W. B. Waterfall. Kightly named. — J. T. Boswell. 
Hahenaria viridis, Brown. Elevated rough pasture between 
Plympton and Dartmoor, S. Devon. July 15, 1876. Previously 
found this year on the border of Dartmoor, near Tavistock, by Mr. 
Francis Brent, of Plymouth.— T. E. A. B. 
Ophnjs anmifem. Huds. Near Hartlip, Kent. April 24, 1876. 
In writing labels for my specimen of Orphrys aranifera, I have not 
attempted to distinguish Smith’s 0. fucifera, as I cannot consider 
the slight and uncertain difference worthy of botanical recognition 
to the extent of appl3dng two names. — F. M. Webb. 
Zpipactfis latifolia, Auct. Hill Wootton, Warwick. August, 
1876. — H. Bromwich. This plant was labelled violacea. Being 
doubtful as to the correctness of the name, I withheld it from dis- 
tribution, and sent a specimen or two to Dr. Boswell. — T. E. A. B. 
This is E. latifolia, not violacea, Durand-Daquesnay. E. media, 
Bab., but not J/7. media. Fries, accordmg to Prof. Eeichenbach, the 
authority for Orchidaceae. — J. T. Boswell. 
Trichoncma Oolumnm, Eeich. — Still abundant on Dawlish Warren 
in April, 1876. I looked for it there in vain on March 23rd, the 
season being late. On April 26th, it was just opening into flower 
in two widely-separated ijarts of the warren, not a single specimen 
(that I could find) yet fruiting. By May 24th the plant had almost 
wholly disappeared, Mr. Briggs and I on that day having to search 
for an hour or more before we came on a few withered specimens 
(in fruit.) — W. Moyle Eogers. I am glad to find that this is 
still to be found. I had been told that it was extirpated. — 
C. C. Babington. 
Allium carinatum, Linn. Banks of Esk, above Musselburgh, 
in large quantity. September 18, 1876. — A. Craig-Christie. 
Carex disticha, Huds. Stapleford meadows, S. Wilts. In 
water, mostly stagnant. 1876. — W. Moyle Eogers. New to vice- 
county. 
C. Beenninyhauseniana, Weihe. Eskalt, near Whitehaven. 
Found b}'^ Mr. Hodgson, and sent to me by Eev. E. Wood, of 
Westward, who thought it nearer “ axillariti.” After carefully 
examining the specimens, it seemed to me to be Boenninyhausenia'tia. 
I sent a specimen to Mr. H. C. Watson, with the query, ‘ Axillaris 
or BoenninyhausenianaB His reply was, ‘ The Carex is Boenniny- 
hauseniana.' — A. Bennett. 
C. curia. Good., b. aljricola. Above Canlochan Glen, Forfar- 
shire. — Augustin Ley. I sent this to Dr. Boswell, with the note.
