REPORT FOR I903. 
27 
Polygonatum officinale, All. Wood near Ford, N. Wilts., May 
28, 1903. — W. A. Shoolbred. 
Juncus tenuis, Willd. Colliery siding, Ynyscynon, Aberdare, 
Glarnorgan, v.c. 41, July 1903 and August 1903. Clearly a casual 
in this situation. Growing in great tufts. — H. J. Riddelsdell. — 
Correct. — E. G. Baker. 
Juncus diffusus, Hoppe. Bradgate Park, Leicester, Sept. 
1903. Sent on account of its rarity in Leicestershire. — A. B. Jack- 
son. 
Juncus filiformis, Linn. From the shore of Derwentwater, 
Cumberland, August 1902. — G. Claridge Druce. 
J. capitatus, Weigel. Quenvais, Jersey, June 1877. A locality 
not given, I believe, in the Jersey Flora. It was abundant there. — 
G. Claridge Druce. 
Wolffia Michelii, Schleid. (Horkelia arrhiza). Near Amberley, 
Sussex, Sept. 1902. In considerable quantity with the four species 
of Lemna. The tiny fronds appear parallel shaped, but they feel 
in one’s hands as if tiny spherical bodies, so ‘ fat ’ are they. — G. 
Claridge Druce. 
Potamogeton Drucei, Fryer. Floating leaves of this handsome 
species from the classic locality. Retains its characters absolutely 
unchanged in cultivation. August 1903. — G. Claridge Druce. 
Scirpus nanus, SprengV^ Margin of the river at Abersoch, 
Carnarvonshire. July 1900. — G. Claridge Druce. 
Scirpus maritinius, Linn. var. monostachys, Sonder. Oxwich 
Bay, Glamorganshire, v.c. 41, July 1903. This is only one extreme 
of a series of forms ranging up to the var. compactus of Koch 
(as I suppose), which is the form with several sessile spikelets. 
The type maritinius was present on the same spot in abundance, so 
that every step might be traced which leads from the extremely 
depauperate state now sent to the ordinary luxuriant looking S. 
maritinius of our salt marshes. Among these specimens one or two 
show the tendency upwards to a more luxuriant form. — H. J. Rid- 
delsdell. Also from the mouth of the Wyre, near Fleetwood, W. 
Lancs, August 1902. — J. A. Wheldon. Yes. — G. Kukenthal. 
Carex Jusca, All.^ From the locality at Arisaig in West Inver- 
ness. In very fair quantity and good condition, and its situation is 
happily of such a nature as to make it improbable that other 
agencies than those of the ordinary struggle for existence will 
help to reduce the quantity. — H. J. Riddelsdell. From the 
same place and gathered at the same time, in August, i9037~the 
spreading of Molinia is the likeliest factor of an inimical nature to
