Cambridgeshire. — By some error the species is put between 
inverted commas in ‘Topographical Botany.’ By some means both 
Mr. Watson and Mr. W. Marshall must have misunderstood each 
other. But there is no doubt Mr. Marshall did gather it many 
times, as he admits in letters to myself. Cambridgeshire has 
always been its head-quarters in England. 
Isle of Ely, two specimens, gathered by Dawson Turner, are 
in Winch’s herbarium at the Linnean Society. Padnal Fen near 
Ely,+ W. Marshall; Barraway Washes, W. Marshall. In 1789 this 
was called “Barway.” Three miles below Ely in 1833, Henslow.

We have found it in many places in the Fens, as by a great 
ditch side near Stretham Ferry ; Ray. 
Wicken Fen near Upware. In this Fen, from 1800 to 1825 
(and, perhaps, to 1838), many specimens were gathered by the 
Rev. J. Holme! In 1857 Professor Babington gathered it also 
in the Fen ; but from his journal it would seem only a single 
specimen, with two stems. This is the year it was reported as 
being brought into the Botanic Garden at Cambridge. Was the 
single plant taken 1 
Since 1857 a few specimens have been found; but I do hope 
if any one does find it they will let it remain, as the Fen is still 
undrained, and although, perhaps, not so wet as formerly, it is 
still not easily gone over in a wet season. It must have been fairly 
plentiful here in former years, as I have seen a good many 
specimens, and others are sure to have been lost or destroyed. 
Lincoln South. — Wet land near Hare Booth, Sir J. Banks. 
Banks of ditches near Braford Water, half a mile from Lincoln,

Lincoln North. — Fen near Revesly Abbey, i.e., the East Fen. 
Specimen thence in the herbarium of the British Museum. When 
the species was last gathered in Lincolnshire I have been unable 
to ascertain; but careful search about 1850-2 by Mr. E. Forster- 
failed to find it. It has been reported from “Chester. By the
