THE BOTANICAL EXCHANGE CLUB OF THE BRITISH ISLES. 
Jmicus filiformis, L. Shores of Derwentwater, near Friar’s Crag, 
Cumberland, June 1901. — J. Cosmo Melvill. 
J. obtusiflorus^ Ehrh., var. confertus, Doll, ‘ Rhen. FI.,’ 180 (1843). 
St. Ouen’s Pond, Jersey, July 25th, 1900. Plentiful on the south side 
of the pond, with the type. I owe the name and reference to Mr. 
Arthur Bennett, who remarks: “I have not seen this form for England 
before. None of my specimens are anything like this.” — L V. Lester. 
“Apparently a good variety.” — Ed. 
Cyperiis fuscus, L. Ditches in the Walton Valley, North Somerset, 
1 2th September 1901. — J. W. White and R. P. Murray. “It is 
certainly native in Somerset. A man who was cleaning out the 
ditches said he had known it there for 40 years.” — R. P. Murray. 
Scirpus cernuus, Vahl. Moor ditch near Clevedon, Somerset, 
September 12th, 1901. — R. P. Murray. “This is the small-spiked 
variety which we have erroneously — according to Mr. C. B. Clarke — 
been calling var. pygmceus (Kunth). I believe that he gives var. 
tnonostachys, Hook, fil., as the proper name, but cannot lay my hand 
upon the reference.” — Ed. 
S. sylvaticus, \j. Abundant in the Altyre Woods, south of Forres, 
north-west Elginshire, 29th June 1901. Not included in ‘Topo- 
graphical Botany,’ p. 441, for v.-c. 95. — Charles Bailey. “I suspect 
that this may be var. dissitiflorus, _Sonder; of which, however, I 
possess no named specimen.” — Ed. 
S. Caricis, Retz. Bank of the river Greeta, at Wrayton, v.-c. 60, 
West Lancashire, at roo feet, August 1901. Sent as a new record 
for v.-c. 60. — Albert Wilson. “N. C. R.” — Ar. Bennett. “A very 
fine growth ! The tallest specimen sent me is 16 inches, an inch more 
than the largest specimen I have yet seen, and four inches more than 
Syme’s e.vtreme measurement.” — E. F. Linton. “ I have it quite as 
luxuriant from Miller’s Dale, Derbyshire, collected by Mr. Bailey. 
There is a sheet of N. Caricis (labelled Blysvnis rufus) from damp 
sands between Lytham and St. Anne’s, v.-c. 60, in my herbarium ; 
gathered August i6th, 1891, by Mr. Melvill.” — Ed. 
Carex teretiuscula, Good. Bog near Docker, v.-c. 60, W. Lanca- 
shire, June 1901. New to v.-c. 60. — Albert Wilson and J. A.
