REPORT FOR I 885.

of the rapid running water, the upper leaves do not spread 
in the characteristic fan-like form. I have since sent lower leaves to 
Professor Babington (who doubted the plant, see Report, 1883) and 
a living plant to Mr. Alfred Fryer, who finds that in still water it soon 
assumes its normal state, and the Professor now considers the plant to 
have been rightly named. — W. H. Beeby. 
Zannichellia pedicellata , Fries, In a pit between Moreton and 
Leassowe, near Birkenhead, Cheshire, not far from the station for 
Cotiila coro?iopifolia , L., 29th August, 1885. This is a new county 
record for No. 58, and a rather noteworthy one inasmuch as it is the 
first report of its occurrence on the western side of Great Britain, 
unless there is a station for it on the west coast of East Cornwall (2). 
The specimens are somewhat poor, as they were infested with a dense 
confervoid growth which made it difficult to detach more satisfactory 
specimens, but there is no doubt about the species. — Charles Bailey. 
dVaias graminea , Del., var. Delilei , Magnus. With Char a Brannii, 
Gmel., in the tepid water of the Canal at Reddish, near Manchester, 
9th Sept., 1885. Collected for Magnier’s “Flora selecta exsiccata,” 
and the few specimens sent are intended for our new members, and 
to show that this plant still maintains its station. It is, however, 
much more limited in quantity than when first discovered in 1883, 
and only about half the stature of specimens which I have previously 
distributed through the Club. Whether this is due to increased canal 
traffic, or to frequent collection by botanists, I could not determine.

Alisma natans, L. Killarney, co. Kerry, July 30 1885. Besides 
growing in ditches, with full developed leaves, this Alisma was found 
by dredging in 4ft. water (when the water was at its lowest level), 
spreading itself by runners, and only producing short subulate root 
leaves. In this depth of water it can never have flowered. Elatine 
hexandra , DC., was growing in its company (a new record for the 
county), and Isoetes echinospora , Dur., both scarce. — E. F. Linton. 
Epipactis violacea , D. Dug. Killarney, Kerry, July and August, 
1885. — E. F. and W. R. Linton. “ I should have called both these 
simply latifoliaP — J. G. Baker. 
Corallorhiza innata, Brown. Boggy wood in Cheviotland, July, 
1881;. Still abundant in the locality where I discovered it last year.

Iris pseudacorus , L., var. acoriformis. Dartford, Kent, July, 1885. 
W. R. Linton. “ This, I should say, may be classed under acori- 
formis; stigmas are, however, not so broad as in the typical plant. 
I have met with many which cannot satisfactorily be placed under any 
of the described forms.” — G. Nicholson. 
Juncus biglumis , L. Edge of rills, Breadalbane mountains, Perth- 
shire, at 3, coo to 3,500 feet, July, 1885. — W. B. Waterfall. 
/. lamprocarpus , Ehrh. Foraminiferous “sand,” Dog’s Bay, 
Roundstone, W. Galway, Aug., 1885.— ML F. Linton. Sand, St. 
Brelade’s Bay, Jersey, July, 1885, and Sandhills, Towyn, Merioneth- 
shire, August, 1885. — Augustin Ley. 
J. supinus , Mcench, var. fluitans , Lam. Growing in deep- 
flowing water with Potamogeton sparganiifolius , Laest., in the river, at
