REPORT FOR 1903. 
29 
that Mr. C. B. Clarke regards this, and not the inaritine plant, as 
the true C. distans of Linne. — E. S. Marshall. 
Carex extensa, Good. From the tidal mud of Three Cliffs 
Bay in Gower, Glamorganshire, July 1903. This is more luxuriant 
form than usual, and I suppose only that Sowerby allows for 2-4' 
fertile spikes ; these specimens show five or six as a rule ; they often 
have a spike near the middle of the stem, and the lowermost of 
the upper sessile spikes is sometimes compound. The stem is 
erect, and the bracts of great length, even reaching ten inches 
in extreme cases. The contrast with specimens I possess from 
Scotland (? var. minor of Syme, and pumila of Anders.) is most 
marked ; even in the latter the bract is on the average longer 
than is figured in E.B. — H. J. Riddelsdell. C. extensa, Good. — 
G. Kukenthal. 
Carex Jlava, Linn. var. Wet clay soil on Warnbreck Moor, 
S. Lancs. (59), 15 June 1903. C. flava is a rare plant in this 
neighbourhood. The present small form differs considerably in 
habit from the C. flava of our fell districts, and the C. Oederi 
(Ehrh.) so abundant on the shore here. It also differs from both 
of these in hardly showing any trace of the broad tawny-brown 
band on each side of the green midrib of the glumes. Is it C. 
flava, var. rnitior, Towns. ?— J. A. Wheldon. C. Oederi, Retz, var. 
oedocarpa, Anders. — G. Kukenthal. I take this name to be 
synonymous with C. flava, var. minor. Towns. We have another 
variety of C. flava in Britain, namely rectirostris, which I hope to 
allude to before long. The Rev. E. S. Marshall answers my query 
and uses the same name as the Pfarrer Kukenthal, but unless we 
give sub-specific grade also to lepidocarpa it would appear to be 
better placed as a variety of aggregate C, flava, especially since 
the name C. Oederi has been used to designate two different plants. 
— G. C. D. 
Carex rostrata, Stokes, var. elatior (Blytt.). {C. rhynchophysa, 
Lond. Cat. not of C. A. Mey.) Mullaghmore, Armagh, August 
1899. — G. Claridge Druce. 
Scirpus caricis, Retz. Chesham Moor, Bucks, July 1903, 
distributed for the first time for Bucks. Also from Kirkby Stephen, 
Westmoreland, for which county it is also a new record. August 
1903. — G. Claridge Druce. 
Paniciim Crus-galli, Linn. Rubbish heaps, Iver, Bucks, 
July 1903. The long awned form, — G. Claridge Druce. 
Phalaris aquatica, Linn. A casual on the rubbish heaps at 
Iver, Bucks, July 1903. — G. Claridge Druce. 
Anthoxanihum odoratum, Linn. This form grew in the gravel 
path at Abernant Park, Aberdare, v.c. 41, Glamorgan, October 1902,
