234 THE BOTANICAL EXCHANGE CLUB OF THE BRITISH ISLES. 
Juncus balticus , Willd. Sands of Barrie, Forfar, July, 1882. Near 
Forres, Elgin, August, 1888. — G. C. Druce. 
J. supinus , Moench., form. Betty Hill, Sutherland, August, 1888, 
growing in two feet depth of water, and varying in consequence, as it 
seems commonly to do in such situations. — W. F. Linton. “Near 
to var. uliginosus , Roth. But Buchenau does not admit any variety 
excepting our var. Kocliii , Bab., the varying states which this 
species assumes, in common with, but to a greater extent than, 
several of the other species, being apparently induced by local 
circumstances, and not varieties properly speaking.” — W. H. Beeby. 
J. castaneus, Sm. Ben Laoigh, Argyll, August, 1888.— G. C. 
Druce. New record for County 98. 
J. iriglumis , L. Ben Laoigh, Argyll, August, 1888. — G. C. 
Druce. 
J. capitaius , Weigel. Noirmont Point, Jersey, June, 1877. G. 
C. Druce. 
Luzula erecta , Desf., var . pallescens, Hoppe. Sunninghill, Berks., 
June, 1884. — G. C. Druce. 
Sparganium negledum , Beeby. Field pit in the neighbourhood of 
Golden Hill Fort, Freshwater, Isle of Wight, nth October, 1888. 
Our new member, Captain Stfcuart, has sent me fruits from half a 
dozen other Isle of Wight stations, collected after I left the island, 
and all like the Golden Hill form. — C harles Bailey. “ This is S. 
ramosum , var. microcarpum , Neumann, MS., a form which will, I 
believe, be described in the forthcoming new edition of ‘ Hartmann’s 
Flora.’ This form is often mistaken for negledum , to which, when 
the fruits of the latter are in a shrivelled or imperfect state, it bears 
some resemblance. Extended observations on this form convinced 
me long ago that it was a variety of ramosum , bearing very numerous 
fruits in each head, to which circumstance the modification in their 
shape seems to be due. I had intended to name it accordingly, but 
found that Dr. Neumann, who had gradually come to the same con- 
clusion respecting the plant, had already done so,” — W. H. Beeby. 
Potamogeton natans , L. Knypersley Park, Staffordshire, September, 
1888. — W. H. Painter. Sent as voucher, but as Mr. Bennett says, 
“the true plant, but sent to ‘Ex. Club’ and recorded in 1887.” 
P. polygonifolius , Pourr., submerged form. Long range, Killarney, 
August, 1888. — R. W. Scully. “It is impossible to come to any 
definite conclusion as to this plant with these specimens, as gathered, 
fruit or more perfect specimens must be waited for.” — Arthur 
Bennett. See ‘ Journ. Bot.,’ June, 1889, p. 183. 
P. Jluitans , Roth. Cultivated plant. Root from Ramsey, Hunts, 
Co. 31, 17th July, 1888 . — Alfred Fryer. (No. 1,124.) “In the 
‘ Ex. Club Report ’ for 1884, I gave reasons why this plant should be 
considered and named as the P.fluitans • of Roth. It seemed, so far 
as one could see, to be identical with that species. Since that time 
I have had some doubt as to whether our plant is so, or a hybrid. 
With much justice my friend Mr. Fryer asks, “may not Roth’s plant 
be a hybrid?” (Against this must be urged that specimens of Jluitans 
from the ‘ Florence herb.,’ and ex herb. Alex. Braun, in my herbarium,
