glumes are shorter and less accuminate. — E. S. Marshall. Seems 
to me C. cojitigua, Hoppe, our former C. muricata^ Auct. Angl. — 
Jl. F. Linton. I do not accejit the statement that Pairaei is the 
C. muricata of the ‘Species Plantarum,’ although it represents 
C. muricata in the Linnean Herbarium. — G. C. Druce. C. coji- 
tigua, Hoppe, “ utriculos inferne valde spongiosos et ligulam elon- 
gatum.” — Kukenthal. 
Carex muricata^ L. Bank, roadside. Saffron Lane, Knighton, 
Leicester, v.-c. 55, June, 1909. One very large tuft of this sedge was 
growing high and dry on a sandy bank by the roadside. I took the 
enclosed specimens intending to obtain fruiting ones later ; but 
when I went to the place again it had all been cut or eaten off. 
I have named it C. muricata with some misgivings, as the foliage 
is much finer and considerably longer proportionately than our local 
common form. — W. Bell. Gathered much too early to shew the 
decisive fruit-characters ; hardly even in good flower. I think, 
however, from the habit, glumes, foliage, and very long ligules, that 
it is true C. muricata (I>inn. Herb, and Spec. Plant.) = C. Pairaei, 
F. Schultz, rather than C. contigua, Hoppe {muricata, Koch, and 
Auct. Angl.). — E. S. Marshall. 
Carex revwta x vulpina = C. axillaris. Lydney, \V. Glos., 
V--C. 34, June 17, 1909; Hailes, E. Glos., v.-c. 33, July 19, 1909. 
The Hailes plant is a good intermediate; the Lydney plant is 
nearer C. remota. — H. J. Riddelsdell. remota x vulphia. — 
Kukenthal. 
Carex elata, All. {C. siricta. Good.). Spring-head, near 
Tickenham, North Somerset, v.-c. 6, June 16, 1909. — J. W. White. 
Yes. C. Iludsofiii, Ar. Benn. — Kukenthal. Right ; the three 
flowering-stems submitted to me have each only two female spike- 
lets, the male being sub-solitary — an unusual condition, I believe. — 
E. S. Marshall. 
Carex aquatilis, Wahl. Bank of the Spey at 685 ft., E. Inver- 
ness, v.-c. 96, July, 1909. — Albert Wilson and J. A. Wheluon. 
C. aquatilis, Wahl., typica. — Kukenthal. Two most interesting 
specimens showing the .species in two conditions — (i.) Var. vires- 
ceus, Anders., with short broad fruit and shorter glumes arranged 
very regularly. (2.) Var. nearly typical as to floral characters, exceiit 
that the type of Wahlenberg is about four times as high — probably 
this comes near the var. mitwr of Boott. — A. Bennett.
