BOTANICAL NOTES, 1887. 
JuNCUs LAMPROCARPUS X ACUTiFLORUS, BucHENAU. So named 
by Mr. Beeby and Mr. Arthur Bennett. A curious hybrid, very 
luxuriant, large panicles ; some specimens viviparous, quite seedless. 
Stilfkey. 
A Festuca from formerly cultivated soil in Holkham Bark has 
been named by Professor Hackel, to whom specimens were sent by 
Mr. Arthur Bennett., together with the next variety, Festuca 
oviNA, var. duriuscula, sub. var. brachyphylla. 
A Feduca growing in the salt marshes which has always seemed 
a distinct variety resembling the F. arenaria of the sandhills, but 
with more or less flaccid leaves and a less creeping root, has been 
named by the same authority Festuca rubra, L., /3. grandiflora 
forma littoralis. 
Genus Statice. The forms found growing on the Norfolk 
coast appear to be as follows : 
S. limonium, Linn. 
(a) genuina, Syme. 
(b) pyramidcdis, Syme. 
The variety (b) flowers earlier than (a), and is in fact going off 
flower when (a) begins to expand. 
S. auriculcbfolia, VahL 
(a) occ/identalis, Lloyd. 
This varies a good deal, but does not appear on our coast to 
become the ^‘intermedia" of Syme. 
S. reticulata, Sra. 
All of these forms grow plentifully at Wells. 1 have never seen 
any specimen of <S. rariflora, Drejer, which according to Student’s 
Flora (third edition), is the same as S. bahusiensis, Fries, from the 
Norfolk coast. The Eev. E. K. Kerslake was kind enough to send 
me the form which he had known under the latter name, but it is 
quite different from authentic S. rariflora from the Isle of Wight ; 
in fact, it differs from S. limonium, in being more compact, 
whereas rariflora is a lax form with the flowers more distant, as 
is well shown in E. B. 3rd ed., t. 1158. 
Genus Erythr;ea. At Wells we have four forms of Erythrcea, 
three of which are referable to E. centaurium. The first of these 
is the ordinary form, common throughout the county ; the second a 
narrow-leaved form simulating E. littoralis, but without any
