remove the roots. — G. Claridge Druce. 
Carex stellulaia, Good. (C. echwata, Lond. Cat.). A nearly 
sterile form from Ben Lawers but not a hybrid, August 1899. — 
G. Claridge Druce. 
Carex juuricata, Linn, forma. Near Little Marlow, Bucks, 
June 1903. — G. Claridge Druce. Is C. Leersii, F. Schultz. — G. 
Kukenthal. In ‘ Index Kewensis ’ this, which was described by 
Schultz in ‘ Flora’ (1870), 455, is put as synonymous with C. muri- 
cata, L. Many botanists would write C. inuricata, Linn., var. a. 
co 7 itigua (Hoppe), var. b. Leersii (F. Schultz). — G. C. D. 
Carex helvolq^ Blytt. Ben Lawers, August 1899. — G. Cla- 
ridge Druce. 
Carex Goodenowii^ J. Gay var. From a swamp near Llwydcoed, 
by Aberdare, Glamorgan, ii July 1903. Also in several spots in 
the neighbourhood. A densely caespitose form, the barren stems 
of which grow to the height of 3 feet or so ; the flowering stems 
are much shorter and attain a length of about 18 to 24 inches. 
The latter are therefore produced only on the outside of the tufts ; 
and as the long slender barren stems overhang to a noticeable 
extent, the impression first produced is that there is nothing else 
there. On turning aside the overhanging ends, however, it is found 
that the fertile stems are there in lair quantity, though still in 
a decided minority. It is a very beautiful and interesting form 
of the sedge. — H. J. Kiddelsdell. Carex Goodenowii., var. fxda 
(Fleischer;. — G. Kukenthal. Referable to vex. j micella, I believe. 
— E. S. Marshall. 
Carex distans, Linn. Stony embankment of the R. Wyre, 
near Knoll End, W. Lancs. (60), 25 July 1902. This is a ro- 
bust form of our plant which passes (according to Mr. Clarke) 
as C. distans, L. If it is not that species which should it be called I

Carex distans, L. non C. distans, var. maritima, auct. = C. 
neglecla, Degl. Wet meadows in Parish of Tredington, Wbrcester- 
shire (an inland station), 9 July 1903. — Fredk. Townsend. C. dis- 
tans, Linn. — G. Kukenthal. 
Ca 7 ’ex, Ref. No. 2718. Roadside, Cold Harbour, near Keevil 
(subsoil limestone), v.c 8, S. Walts., June 2, 1903. This is, I believe, 
what we have called inland distans ; it certainly comes much nearer 
to the coast plant than to either C. hinervis, Sm. or C. Hornscliuchiana, 
Hoppe. Unfortunately, the specimens are rather young 3 on re- 
visiting the spot I found that all the stems had been cut oil.— E. 
S. Marshall. C. distans, Linn. — G. Kukkn'i hal. I understand
