Druce. “A rush accepted by Buchenau may well pass.” — Ar. 
Bennett. “ True, yet Mr. Bagnall suggests that this is possibly 
a state of J. compressus with unfertilized flowers. He has found 
closely similar plants in Warwickshire.” — Ed. “ Probably J. Ger- 
ardi, but too immature for certainty. I have seen Gerardi from the 
Thames Valley near Staines, Middlesex.” — Edw. S. Marshall. , 
Arum italicum^ Mill. Thickets on the Underclifls, Ventnor, 
I. of Wight, i8go — 1893. Coll. Capt. Steuart. — J. A. Wheldon. 
Potamogeton alpinus, Balb. Canal at Odiham., N. Hampshire, 
1 8th August 1904. — C. E. Palmer. 
Scirpus cernuus, Vahl., var. pygmceuSy Kunth. Fairwood 
Common, July 1903, and Jersey Marine, July 1905, both v.-c. 41. 
This is the only form of the species that we have in the county, 
so far as I know; single and double spiked heads occur side by 
side. The specimens distributed represent the normal local growth. 
— H. J. Riddelsdell. “The proper name for this plant appears 
to be 6". cernuus^ Vahl., var. monostachys, Hook. fil. It is mostly 
submaritime, and I believe it to be quite a good variety.” — Edw. S. 
Marshall. 
Eriophorum ? Trebiskin Moor, Cubert, West Cornwall, 
31st July 1905. Mr. A. Bennett reports that this “may be the 
var. triquetrum^ Anders. {E. triquetrum^ Fr. non Hoppe).” He 
has the plant in hand. I hope to send him further specimens next 
year, when he may be able to give a definite opinion. It flowers 
much later than typical E. polystachion, and occurs also in Mr. 
Davey’s district, in Gwennap parish. — C. C. Vigors. “ To me this 
seems to be E, polystachion in a young stage with the bristles not 
fully developed. The glabrous peduncles of course exclude 
E. triquetrum^ Hoppe.” — C. Bucknall. 
Carex divisa, Huds. Saltmarsh, Clifle-at-Hoo, West Kent., 
30th May 1905. — J. Groves. “A good series of a much-wanted 
Sedge.” — E d. 
C. paradoxa, Willd. In a small marsh near Denham, Bucks, 
but likely to be destroyed by preparations for a new railway. 
A new county record, but only a slight extension of its known 
range. May, 1905. In the young stage the panicle recalls C. 
elongata rather than C. paniculata, as the scarious margins to the 
glumes are practically absent. B'lowers earlier than C. paniculata . — 
G. Claridge Druce. “ It is remarkable how of late years the 
comital distribution of this Carex has been increased. It is now on 
record for 8 counties in Britain.” — Ar. Bennett.
