REPORT FOR 1884. 
115 
of Carex paradoxa, and much more rarely by a small form of C. stricta. 
The water level was much lower in 1883-84 than it had been for some 
years, otherwise the approach to the plant would have been not an 
easy matter. In Cambridgeshire it was much less plentiful, and 
scattered over a larger extent of ground. In Suffolk it was gathered 
in 1883-84, by the Rev. Dr. Hind (to whom I am indebted for 
specimens). It is somewhat remarkable that after an interval of over 
twenty years the Liparis should be found so plentifully, although it 
has occurred for several years past in one of its old Cambridgeshire 
stations but very sparingly. There are some very interesting remarks 
on this plant and its structure in M. Crepin’s “ Notes sur quelques 
plantes rares ou critiques de la Belgique,” fas. 5, p. 102-104, 1865, a 
work that will be found well worth study by British botanists, but 
which I do not remember to have seen quoted except under Carex 
ornithopoda by Dr. Trin\en and Dr. Boswell. 
Epipactis violacea , Bor. Mr. Beeby sends two specimens of an 
Epipactis from Surrey, named as above. Mr. Baker could express no 
opinion on it, and I am not prepared to accept or deny the name. 
The recent note on this genus in the “Journal of Botany” (July, 
1885), by the Rev. W. Purchas, I am very glad to see, and if there is 
any one who will take up the genus I shall be glad to place at their 
disposal my series of European forms, gathered together for the express 
purpose of a study of the genus. We may expect some additions to 
our knowledge of the northern species in the forthcoming new editions 
of Hartman’s “ Scandinavian Flora” and Lange’s “Handbook of the 
Danish Flora.” 
Corallorhiza innata, Br. New to the southern side of the Border. 
Abundant in a boggy wood on the borders of Cheviotland, 1884. 
H. E. Fox. A very interesting addition to the English Flora, and a 
species that seems to have a decided northern tendency in Europe ; 
in its southern distribution, it is montane, unless it be in the swamps 
of Swabia and Lithuania. 
Juncus nigritellus , Don. Wet sand, near Wells, Norfolk, 8th 
September, 1884. — E. F. and W. R. Linton. The plants from Wells 
do not quite agree with a specimen so named, gathered by Mr. C. 
Bailey on the coast of Merioneth, but are about identical with a 
specimen from Mr. Boswell Syme from Scotland. It is interesting to 
have a new locality for a variety of which the “ Student’s Flora ” 
states nothing satisfactory is known “ J. lamprocarpus fructibus 
nigro-fuscis.” — Dr. Buchanau. “J lamprocarpus v. nigritellus, Don.” 
— Dr. J. Lange. 
Juncus Kochii. Cut Mill, (near Godaiming,) Surrey, July, 1883. 
In this Juncus I noticed particularly that the filaments' are of equal 
length with the anthers, and not “ nearly twice as long,” as stated in 
Babington’s Manual, ed. 8. — W. R. Linton. 
Schcenus nigricans, L. Bagshot Heath, Surrey, 4th Aug., 1884. 
A few specimens from this county.— W. H. Beeby. 
Rhyncospora alba, Vahl., v. sordida. Bog, Trelleck, Monmouth- 
shire, 6th Aug., 1884. — A. Ley “ I see only ordinary alba in this.” 
— J. G. Baker. “ Yes.” — Prof. Babington. I agree with Mr. Baker, 
the specimens do not agree with continental examples of sordida.
