Kiikenthal queries as C. gracilis), C. alpina, Swartz, instead of 
C. Halleri, Gunn, (an identification which he also queries), C. Bux- 
baumii, Wahl., instead of C.fusca, All. (which is also queried), 
C. glauca, Murray, instead of C. flacca, Schreb. (but Kiikenthal has 
overlooked the fact that in Murray’s ‘ Prodromus ’ the name glauca 
is not given). Car ex lepidocarpa, Tausch, is kept as a distinct 
species. Under C. Ocdcri, Retz, is put C. flava, var. minor, Towns. 
C. rostrata, Stokes, is given instead of the earlier C. inflata, Huds., 
C. echinata, Murr., is used in the sense of C. Pairaei, Schultz (but 
see ‘ Journ. Bot.’ p. 163, where Britten shows that C. echinata, 
Murray stellulata, Good.). C. Leersii is put under this as a 
variety. C. Hortischuchiana, Hoppe, instead of C.fulva, Host, and 
C. contigua, Ploppe, instead of C. muricata, L. 
Several additional varieties to the British Flora (already in the 
Desiderata list) are described, the chief of which are the follow- 
ing 
Carcx flava, var. pygmaea, Anders. ‘Culnius humilis. Spicu- 
lae subglobosae parvulae confertae, Utriculi minores.’ (Lange by a 
lapsus calami named my specimens var. pumila, Anders., as given 
in my List.) C. extensa, var. Ecklonii, Kiikenth,, p. 667 (antedated 
by var. latifolia, Boeck.). ‘ Culmus robustior. Folia ad 5mm. lata. 
Spiculae omnes approximatae, terminalis non raro gynaecandra. 
Utriculi subovati 4-5 mm. long,’ from Wigton C. Bailey and 
Strangford Lough, Co. Down ! C. binervis, var. alpina, Drejer.
