THE BOTANICAL EXCHANGE CLUB OE 
THE BRITISH ISLES. 
REPORT OF THE DISTRIBUTOR FOR iSgy. 
The number of specimens contributed is above the average of 
recent years, and the Club is to be congratulated on the fact that all 
the contributing members have been able to receive a new British 
sedge, Carex chordorhizci , and also Carex helvola. The interesting 
and excellent packages supplied by Dr. Shoolbred, the Rev. E. S. 
Marshall, and the Rev. Augustin Ley and others, are such as would 
prove valuable to any institution. A few plants came in too late to 
be sent with the first parcel ; to these I have added beautiful 
specimens of Chara collected by the Rev. G. R. Bullock-Webster. 
I have again ventured to add, out of my own duplicates, a few 
specimens in order to supply the special wants of various members. 
The best thanks of the Club are due to the Rev. W. M. Rogers 
for examining and editing the notes on the Brambles ; to Mr. F. J. 
Hanbury for looking over the Hawkweeds. The latter tells me he fears 
in one instance there is an admixture ; members will therefore kindly 
check that particular gathering. Professor Hackel has kindly 
examined the Grasses, M. Crepin the Roses, Mr. A. Fryer the Pond- 
weeds. Herr Freyn, of Prague, has also been most kind in looking 
over the Ranunculi , the Chenopodiacea , etc. Mr. E. G. Baker has sent 
some interesting notes (and the Club must welcome the name of 
Baker once more in its Reports), as have the Rev. E. F. Linton, the 
Rev. W. R. Linton, and the Rev. E. S. Marshall. Mr. C. B. Clarke 
has sent some critical notes on the Cyperacecc. 
The large and valuable set of Euphrasia had been previously 
named by Dr. R. von Wettstein, and Pfarrer Kiikenthal has kindly 
reported on the sedges.
