Cyl. Hib., ed. 2, 94, 1898 ; Praeger Irh. Top. Bot., 92, 1901 ; 
Irh. Hat., 184, 1902. 
First record in Britain. 
“ Lathyrus flore ex eoerulea et rubro mixto.” In a wet marsh 
on the left hand of Peckham Fields from London. Merrett Pin. 
Ber. Hat. Brit., 70, 1666. W. A. Clarke. First record of Brit. 
PL, ed. 2, 43, 1900. 
In various parts the sp. varies. The var. myrtifolius, Gray 
( L . myrtifolius, Muhl) is a broad-leaved form of the plant; the 
only specimen approaching this from England is one from the 
Bev. W. Peacock, from “ near Lincoln,” this might perhaps have 
been a casual (Hat., 220, 1894). The var. linear if alius, Ser. in 
Dd. Proc., 271, 1825— v. tenuifolius, Meyer Ch. Hann., 148, 1836, 
which I suppose is the same as L. vicaicefolius, Wallr., Sch. crit., 
388, 1822 (this was founded on a single sp.) can be matched among 
English specimens. 
This sp. may yet occur in Scotland, as it extends to 70° 27' H. 
Lat. in Horway (Horman Horg. Art. FI., 216, 1895) ; and in Finland 
to 69° H. Lat. (Mus. FI. Feun, 79, 1889). 
The next two species I hope to mention, are Carex paradoxa 
and Lastrea cristata, for any notes on either, I shall be greatly 
obliged.
