and figured in E. B., ed. III., pi. 1267, as C, submersum. Also, in 
some seasons and situations, the fruit has neither spines nor tubercles. 
The style, too, is variable in length. Perhaps members will be 
induced to examine Ceratophylla in their own neighbourhoods. — 
Alfred Fryer. 
Allium SchcEnoprasum^ L. River side, Erwood, Brecon, and 
Radnor, 15th June, 1887. — Augustin Ley. “There are Brecon 
specimens in Borrer’s herbarium, gathered by Moggridge years ago.” 
— A. Bennett. 
Juncus bufo 7 iiiis^ L. var, fasclculatus^ Koch. Two forms from 
Tenby, 3rd October, 1887, viz. a procumbent form on tidal flats 
on the Marsh ; and an erect form in mud at the edge of a tidal drain 
by the Marsh House. — Charles Bailey. Sands, Smerwick harbour, 
Kerry, 17th August, 1887. — Augustin Ley. 
Juncus aculiflorus^ Ehrh., var. ? Between Buxton and Leek, 
Stafford, 3rd October, 1881. This form differed much in general 
appearance from the various lowland forms of J. acutiflorus. This 
form is remarkable for the pale colour of the spikelets, and thus 
recalling y. obtusijlorus. The small size of the perianths and capsules 
is also remarkable. — W. H. Purchas. “No variety, a poor state 
only.”— W. H. Beeby. 
Juncus acutiflorus^ Ehrh., var. macroceplialiis^ Koch. ? Lough 
Carah, Kerry, 19th August, 1887. — x\ugustin Ley. “Very good 
acutiflorus^ but not the variety according to specimens named by Dr. 
Buchenau.” — W. H. Beeby. 
J. triglwnis, L. Hill of Colvadale, alt. 250 feet, Unst, Shetland, 
28th August, 1887. — W. H. Beeby. 
Luzula maxima^ DC. var. gracilis, Rostmp. Top of the Sneug 
(alt. 1,400 feet), Foula, Shetland, 25th August, 1887. I send a few 
specimens from this locality. The very exposed situation in which 
the plant grows here, combined with late season of gathering, causes 
the specimens to be somewhat poor. A few, however, retained the 
flexuous or drooping peduncles which are one of the characteristics of 
the variety. — W. H. Beeby. 
Sparganium neglectum, Beeby. Growing with Sparganium 
ramosum, Curtis, in a ditch below the Causeway Mill, between 
Gumfreston and Hollow-ways, Tenby, 3rd and 5th October, 1887. 
Fruits of S. neglectum also sent from ditches in the Penally Burrows, 
near Tenby, 5th October, 1887. — Charles Bailey. “The plants 
are rightly named, but the separate packets contain fruits of i'amos2im 
and neglectum mixed.” — W. H. Beeby. New County record. 
Potamogeton polygonijolius, Pourr. linearis, Syme. .Long Range, 
Killarney, 6th August. 1887. — R. W. Scully. 
Potamogetonfluitans, Roth. CultNated plant from Hunts., Co. 31, 
28th July, 1887. The poor condition of the plant sent is due to none 
having been gathered until all hope of obtaining fruit was gone. 
Some were picked up in a withered state after the weed-cutters, and 
the others were gathered from a rapidly drying up pond. After this 
pond became quite dry the already formed foliaged branches of P- 
fliiitans died away, and the surface of the mud soon became studded
