Although typical C. Oederi does occur at the spot, the usual parent 
was another plant, referred by him to the var. ccdocarpa^ Andersson. 
This answers very well to the figures of Oederi^ var. adocarpa, in 
Andersson’s ‘ Cyperacece Scandmavica;,’ and in ‘ F/. Danica^^ t. 2794 : 
which, however, also very well represent flava minor, Towns., as Rev. 
E. F. Linton pointed out to me last .spring. I think that this common 
British form is, upon the whole, better placed as a variety of C. Oederi 
than of C.plava ^ — E. S. M. 
Carex acutiformis, Ehrh., var. spadicea (Roth.). Near Elstead, 
Surrey, 13th June 1898. — E. S. Marshall. “This is the prevailing 
(if not the only) form in the Wey Valley, from Waveiiey to Elstead.”— 
E. S. M. 
C. rostrata, Stokes, var. latifolia, Ascherson. Mullaghmore 
Lough, Co. Armagh, August 1898. — G. C. Druce. “This is not the 
extreme form which has been recorded as C. rhy 7 icophysa in ‘Journ. 
Bot.,’ although it comes under the above name according to Ffarrer 
Kiikenthal.” — G. C. D. A single specimen. 
Panicum capillare, L. Casual. Newly-made embankment, North 
Shore, Southport, July 1898. — J. A. Wheldon. 
Agrostis alba, L., var. 77 iaritima, Mey. Sand dunes, near 
Wallasey. Cheshire, August 1891. — J. A. Wheldon. ^'•Agrostis 
alba, var. pro-repens, Aschers., a form of it which comes near A. alba, 
var. ma 7 'iti 77 ia, Mey., but this has the leaves more or less involute, 
somewhat pungent, not flat as in your plant.” — E. Hackel. 
A. alba, L., var. coarctata, Ehrh., in Hoffm., ‘FI. Germ.’ ed. 2, i, 37. 
Abundant on Harbour Island, Lough Neagh, and in marshes near 
Toone Bridge, Co. Derry, August 1898. — G. Claridge Druce. 
“Correctly named.” — E. Hackel. 
Aira caryophyllea, var. 77 iidticaulis (Dum.). Near Bulstrode, 
Bucks, June 1898. — G. C. Druce. “I am inclined to refer it to A. 
77 iulticaulis, Dumortier, ‘Obs. Gram. Belg.’ (1823), p. 121, and it is a 
well-marked variety as contrasted with the plant of northern and 
western Britain.” — G. C. D. “Correctly named.” — E. Hackel. 
Dcscha 77 ipsia ceespitosa, Beauv., var. b 7 'evifolia (Parnell, ‘British 
Grasses,’ p. 236, under A Fa). In a dry, gravelly field on the Green- 
sand, near Great Brickhill, Buckinghamshire, June 1898. — G. 
Claridge Druce. “Correctly named. This form should take 
another name, because brevifolia (R. Br.) is the name of an allied 
but distinct Arctic species.” — E. Hackel. 
D. discolor, R. and S. Wet heath near Nairn, vice-county 96, 29th 
July 1898. — W. A. Shoolbred. “Correctly named.” — E. Hackel.
