MR. A. BENNETT ON UPARIS LOESELII AND TEUCRIUM 8CORDIUM. 335 
Wicken Fen, Power, 183G ; Eaton and Fox, 1862 ; A. Wilton, 
1880 ; T. H. Burkhill, 1896 ; Rev. H. H. Slater, 1901, sp. in herb., 
Bennett. 
Burrell Fen, Henslow, 1833 ! Power, 1835. 
Bottisham Fen, Henslow. 
Fordham Fen, A. Fryer, sp. 8, 9, 1883. 
Chippenham Moor, A. Fryer and A. Bennett, July, 1884; in 
abundance in fruit. 
It was seen in these last two localities by Mr. W. West, Jun., in 
1896. 
Gamlingay Bogs, John Power (no date) in Holmsdale (Reigate) 
Nat. Hist. Soc. Herbarium as “ Ophrys Loeselii.” 
It is extraordinary that Prof. Babington did not mention this 
locality in his Flora of Cambridge; that it was known is certain, 
as in the ‘ Phytologist,’ 612, 1847, Mr. C. Prentice remarks, “The 
destruction of Gamlingay bogs has taken away one of the best 
localities of this curious and rare plant, ;is well as for several others.” 
There can have been no confusion with Malaxis, as I)r. Power’s 
herbarium contains specimens of Malaxis paludosa , . labelled 
“Gamlingay bogs, July, 1883,” in the handwriting of Dr. S. A. 
Power; and Babington mentions Power in his Journal; and this 
makes it the more remarkable that he does not give it. 
31. Huntingdonshire. — Stilton and Yaxley Fens, Rev. Bree, 
in herb., Watson ! 1841, 1840. 
I know of no record since, and these fens are now drained. 
Whittlesea Mere, Rev. M. J. Berkley in Watson’s Cyb. Britt. 
2, 438, 1849. In 1850 the water finally left the bed of Whittlesea 
Mere dry.* In 1860 the bed had sunk 3| feet; in 1875 8 feet 
2 inches, and splendid crops of corn were growing where Water 
Lilies and Wild Ducks formerly existed ( I.c . p. 89). Lincoln. 
F. W. Burbridge in ‘Gardener’s Chronicle,’ 144, 1884. Rev. 
Woodruffe Peacock, in Crit. Cat. Lincoln Plants, 246, 1896, in 
‘Naturalist.’ Mr. Burbridge wrote to Mr. W. Peacock, “Some 
years ago a lady who was quite a stranger to me, sent a specimen 
of Li pans loeselii in flower, growing among a tuft of rushes. 
I remember her note and specimen came from Lincoln (City). 
I have often siuce regretted that I did not ask where it grew, and 
I also wish I had preserved the specimen.”
