A. Bennett. A plant, not only new to Norfolk, but to Great 
Britain, which one of my daughters and myself — my daughter 
being the actual discoverer — had the pleasure of finding last July. 
It was growing in from four to ten feet of water, accompanied by 
Chara stelUgera, pohjacantha, aspera, &c. 
It is widely distributed in Europe, occurring in Scandinavia to 
I ranee, and Belgium to Bussia, also in Asia j more sparingly in 
Africa, America, and Australasia. 
It is an interesting addition to our Flora, because it is not a 
critical species, and there can be iro question of its being indigenous. 
Carex TUINERVI3, Deqland. Another addition to Norfolk, and 
also to Great Britain, yet one that might well have been expected j 
indeed, M. Crepin, in Iris interesting ‘ Notes sur quelques plantes 
rares, ou critiques de la Belgique,’ expresses his surprise it had not 
boon found on the English coasts. Its history may bo told in a 
few words. Last December, accompanied by Mr. W. W. Beeves 
I was spending an evening with Mr. II. G. Glasspoole (whom 
many of you know well), and looking over his duplicates, when I 
saw, among other Carices, four specimens of a Carex whicli I felt 
sure was trinervis, Deg. But they were young ; and I sent one of 
the smaller specimens to M. Lloyd, of Nantes. His reply was : 
“ I believe your specimen is trinervis, but it would be well to get 
more developed specimens.” Since then I have carefully examined 
the largest specimen (kindly given me by Mr. Glasspoole), and 
compared it with the beautiful plates in Boott’s ‘ Illustrations of the 
genus Carex,’ and with a series of specimens from the West of 
Franco, and I have no doubt it is the plant of Degland. 
Dr. Loott remarks : “ Drejer (in his Symbolfe), allies this species 
to C. glanca and C. hispida ; the affinity, I think, is with the last.” 
Most authors rank it near C. vulgaris, or C. acuta. Other names 
for it are C. frisica, Koch, and C. acuta, var. nervosa, C. A. Meyer. 
It is strictly a West European plant, occurring on the sand-dunes 
of the coast of Schleswig, the East and West Friesian Islands, 
Holland, Belgium, West of Franco, and, rarely, in Portugal. 
IHr. Glasspoole’s specimens were gathered either in 1869 or 1870, 
but ho does not recollect the exact locality; however, where it 
does occur, it usually grows in abundance, and he hopes to refind 
it this year (1884). 
Carex Extensa, Good. Still grows at Cley. July, 1883.
