Carex pallescens, L. Meadow above the gorge of the Clydach 
river, Clydach, Breconshire, nth June 1897. New county record. — 
Charles Bailey. 
C. capillaris , Linn. Ben Laiogh, Perthshire, 31st July 1891. — 
J. Cosmo Melvill. 
C. extensa , Good., var. pumilci , Anders. Shore at Southport, 
Lancashire, August 1894. — J. A. Wheldon. 
C. flava , Linn., var. CEderi , Ehrh., non plur. auct. Walton, 
Lancashire, July 1892. This was so named a year or two ago by 
Mr. A. Bennett. Is it the same thing as var. minor , Towns. ? and 
under which form named in the ‘ London Catalogue ’ should it be 
placed?— J. A. Wheldon. “ C. (Ederi, Ehrh.” — G. Kiikenthal. 
C. flava , L., var. (Ederi , Retz. ? Strensall Common, York, August 
1888. — J. A. Wheldon. “This is C. CEderi of Koch, Syme, etc., 
and I believe the true C. (Ederi , Retz ( C . divisa, Oeder in ‘Flora 
Danica,’ non Hudson). It is not the ‘ var. (Ederi, Retz.’ of ‘ Lond. 
Cat.,’ ed. 9, which is var. minor, Townsend.” — E. S. Marshall. 
“ C. (Ederi, Ehrh.” — G. Kiikenthal. 
C. flava, L., var. cyperoides ; Marsson, teste A. Bennett. Southport, 
Lancashire, July 1893. — J. A. Wheldon. “ I think not CEderi , var. 
cyperoides, Marsson. It appears to me as subnormal C. CEderi, 
Retz., partially sterile.” — E. S. Marshall. “ C. CEderi, Ehrh.” — G 
Kiikenthal. 
C. saxatilis, Linn., ‘ Sp. PI.,’ 976 (1753). Ben Lawers, August 
1897. — G. C. Druce. 
Leers ia oryzoides, Sw. Homalocenchrus oryzoides, Mieg. Wareham, 
Dorset, 24th September 1897, where it was discovered by Mr. W. 
Mitten, by whose direction I easily found it. This is an addition to 
the Dorset Flora. Though I searched carefully numerous similar 
ditches in the meadows adjoining both the R. Frome and the R. 
Puddle, there was none to be seen, except along some 30 or 40 yards 
of the ditch where Mr. Mitten (who was making a special search for 
this grass) detected it. It appeared to be well established, and is no 
doubt native. — Edward F. Linton. 
Phalaris minor, Retz. {P. aquatica, L., according to Reichb. 
‘ FI. Germ. Exc.’). This plant was growing in abundance beside the 
railway, just out of St. Heliers, in sandy waste ground. Liegard 
(‘ Flore de Bretagne’) makes a separate genus of it, with an apparently 
French name ‘ alpiste ’ ( - Phalaris, part), and gives “ champs sablon- 
neux de la zone maritime” as its habitat. Reichenbach only says, “Am 
sudlichen Litorale, zurschen Fiume und Laurana.” — L. V. Lester.
