Carex flava x fulva. Maam, Co. Galway, Ireland, 5th July, 
1895. — E. S. Marshall. 
C. rosfrata, Stokes. Broad-leaved form or variety', near Cong, Co. 
Galway, Ireland, i6th July, 1895. — E. S. Marshall. “ A luxuriant 
plant, somewhat recalling the figure of C. rhy 7 icophysa in ‘Journal of 
Botany’ for 1893. What appears to me to be the same thing, from 
Co. Westmeath, has been named by Mr. Arthur Bennett — C. 
ampullacea forma planifolia^ Norman, ‘El. Arct. Norvegiae.’” — 
Edward S. Marshall. “ Accords with Norman’s plant fairly well, 
but the leaves are not so broad or so flat when dry.”— Arthur 
Bennett.” 
C. ifwoluta, Bab.? Wybunbury Moss, Cheshire, 30th July, 1895. 
— E. S. Marshall. I am not sure that this is the true plant, of 
which I do not possess any specimens, d'he friend who directed me 
to it used, however, to be familiar with that in the Hale Moss locality, 
which appears to have been drained. Very different, in a living state, 
from ordinary C. rostrafa ; growing in very swampy ground, among 
Sphag 7 iw>i, in abundance. — Edward S. Marshall. “This may be 
Babington’s plant, but I have seen no specimen named by that 
author ; if so, I consider that Syme rightly considers it nearest to 
C. ampuUaceaP — Ar. Bennett. 
C. vesicaria, L., form. Boggy ground, Meall Ghaordie, Mid 
Perth, about 2,500 feet, 13th August, 1891. This appears somewhat 
intermediate between C. vesicaria and C. ampullacea^ resembling the 
latter species in the less strongly ribbed fruit narrowing more abruptly 
into the beak, and in the smoother and less angular stem. — H. J. 
Groves. “ To me this is the plant called 7 alpigena by Fries and 
Andersson in ‘Nya Botaniska Notiser,’ 1850. Nyman refers this to 
C. pulla, Good., but Fries and Andersson, as well as Laestadius (‘Eoca 
Parall’ 1839) kept them distinct, and I think rightly, that is as a var. 
or form of vesicai-ia, and not of pidla. Doubtless it is one of the forms 
that lend themselves to those who combine piclla and vesicariaP — Ar. 
Bennett. 
Alopecurus ulriculatus, Pers. Meadow, near Oxford, 13th July, 
1895. This grass was growing in fair quantity in a meadow in the 
neighbourhood of Oxford, in May, 1895. isolated 
patch, but thinly scattered about over a space of about 150 yards, 
and apparently well established. On enquiry from the farmer who 
occupies the land it proved that he had used a great deal of foreign 
hay in the year 1893, when the English hay crop almost entirely failed 
owing to the drought. The seeds which became separated in the 
process of chaff-cutting were scattered about the field in question to 
improve the next year’s crop. The hay was said to have come from 
Canada. In many of the spikes the lower spikelets had become
