Carex muricata var. pseudo-divnha. Name authenticated by 
Dr. Boswell. “ (Boot from Lauder, Berwickshire), June, 1878. I 
brought the plant several years ago from a Avood near Lauder, and 
planted it alongside a jilant of the common C. muricata of the 
district. At all times they look very different, this being much 
the strongest groAver, and also a good deal earlier in flowering 
than muricata.” — A. Bkotherston. Mr. Charles Baile}' sends the 
same plant from a lane at Pepplesham, near St. Leonard’s, Sussex. 
C. pujictata. Dr. Trimen points out that a plant so labelled,

1878 ; introduced with foreign avooI. — A. Brotheeston.

of garden cultivation. Specimens of the original Avild plant, 
with notes on its locality and distribution, Avould be of great 
interest.” — H. Trimen.
