REPORT FOR 1 885. 1 39 
1885. — J. Grant (comm. Arthur Bennett). Also sent by Messrs. 
Fox and Hanbury. 
Car ex rigid a, Good., var. inferalpina , Lsest. Canlochan Glen, Forfar, 
alt. 3,000ft., Aug., 1883. — E. F. Linton. Little Culrannoch, Forfar, 
July, 1885. Sent by me two years ago in mistake for C. aquatills , 
from the same locality. See Club Report. — H. E. Fox. 
C. juncella , Fries. Hedge Court mill pond, Surrey, 21 June, 
1885. This plant is, I think, generally presumed to be the C. 
vulgaris , var. uliginosa , Syme, E. B., III. The plant, as it occurs at 
the above station, is very densely caespitose, while the stolons are 
very few, and the spikes are ovate-acute, rather than cylindrical, in 
characteristic specimens. — W. H. Beeby. 
C. strigosa , Huds. Ockley, Surrey, 23 June, 1885. I send 
more of this than is necessary to confirm the county record, 
as the plant (which occurs in profusion) was in very good condition, 
wherein it differed considerably from most of the dried specimens 
which I have seen. — W. H. Beeby. 
C. fulva , Good., var. sterilis. Marsh, Piggar, Swanbister, Orphir, 
Orkney, 5 Aug., 1885. This is Dr. Boswell's station for the plant, 
which has also been found at Naversdale, Orphir, by W. Irvine 
Fortescue, in company with whom I collected specimens in Hoy, on 
20 Aug., 1885. At this last station it was growing together with C. 
fulva and C. flava in the same marsh. Dr. Boswell writes : “ Carex 
‘ sterilis ’ I consider a sterile form of C. fulva , though it is just possible 
that it may be a hybrid between C. fulva and C. flava , but it is 
certainly very much nearer the C. fulva ,” — H. H. Johnston. 
C. flava , L. Market Weston, W. Suffolk, June, 1884. — J. D. Gray. 
Comm. E. F. Linton. Wicken Fen, Cambs., June, 1885. — A. 
Fryer. “Correct.” — F. Townsend. 
C. hirta, L. Chalky pasture (alt. 800ft.) on the hills above Oxted, 
Surrey, 7 June, 1885. I send a few examples of this plant from the 
above very unusual habitat. It occurs occasionally in dry places in 
Surrey, as on the more elevated parts of Reigate Heath, where it is 
always dry. In the above locality it occurred with the usual chalk 
grasses, orchids, Carex glauca , &c. The situation was rather less dry 
than usual on the chalk, owing to the slight shade of a copse which 
grew below on the hill side. — W. H. Beeby. 
C. ampullacea , maxima, Anderson. C. ampullacea , pendulina , 
Blytt. Aber Lake, Carnarvonshire. Alt. 1,400 feet. August, 1884. 
J. E. Griffith. 
Chamagrostis minima , Barkh. Rhosneiger, on the shores of 
Cymmeran Bay, on the coast of Anglesey. Collected by Mrs. John 
Plant, of Peel Park, Salford, May, 1885. Mr. J. E. Griffith informs 
me that this station is given in Davies's Welsh Botanology, but, in 
recent years, all Anglesey specimens distributed by botanists have come 
from the neighbourhood of Llyn Curon, near Bodorgan. Mrs. Plant 
reports that the plant is abundant at Rhosneiger. — C harles Bailey. 
Digitaria humifusa , Pers. Sandy fields, Christchurch, S. Hants, 
August, 1 884. —Walter W. Reeves. 
D. sanguinalis, Scop. Cultivated ground, very plentiful throughout 
Jersey, Sept. 1884.— W. B. Waterfall.
