6o4 the botanical exchange club of the BRITISH ISLES. 
freely produced ; but, on comparing them with those of ordinary 
C. vesicaria, I found them to be smaller and somewhat differently 
shaped. I am still not free from doubt; but Rev. E. F. Linton 
writes that it seems thoroughly fertile, and thinks it only a form of 
C. vesicaria. — Edward S. Marshall. C. vesicaria^ L., forma 
utriculus oblongo-lanceolatis. — G. Kukenthal. 
Carex inflata, Huds. x vesicaria, L. [ref. No. 2740]. Banks 
of the Teith, Callander, Perth W., July 1910. Growing with both 
parents, and a good intermediate. = x C. Panne%vitziana, Figg. — 
G. Claridge Druce. C, rostrata x vesicaria. — G. Kukenthal. 
I feel sure that Mr. Druce is right. — Edward S. Marshall. 
Spartina Toivnsendi, H. and J. Groves. Salt marshes between 
the “ Sturt ” Pond, Milford-on-Sea, and Hurst Castle, South Hants., 
September 1910. — J. Cosmo Melvill. “Yes; I had the Spartina 
Towtisendii from the same locality from Professor F. W. Oliver not 
long ago.” — Otto Staff. Dr. Stapf informs me that this interesting 
plant has recently been found on the opposite French coast. — C. E. 
Moss. Correct. — E. Hackel. 
Savastana odorata, Scribner {^Hierochloe borealis, R. and S.). 
Kirkcudbright coast, very rare. May 23, 1910. So very restricted 
here as to make one doubt its indigenity ; but there were no alien 
species near. I think this is the first time specimens have been 
distributed from this locality. It is so rare that I dare not take 
roots. — G. Claridge Druce. Correct. — E. Hackel. 
Phleum pratense, L., a bracteated variety. The Cairs, Prescot, 
S. Lancashire, v.-c. 59, August 1910. — Rev. M. Tookey. A 
variety with a long bract at base of panicle, bract variable in length, 
sometimes nearly as long as panicle. Is this an abnormality, or 
some recognized variety? — W. G. Travis. Phleum pratense, lusus 
(not var.) bracteatum, A. Br. in Aschers. and Graebn. ‘ Syn.’ ii. 142. 
— E. Hackel. 
Miboj’a verna, Desv. Wall-top, near St. Brelade’s, April 1910. 
^A rather unusual locality for this local species. I brought a tuft 
home, and it continued flowering in my garden till the end of 
August. — G. Claridge Druce. Correct. — E. Hackel. 
Agrostis alba, L., var. Sandy shore, Kildonan, Arran, v.-c. 
100, July 1910. — W. G. Travis. Apparently var. inaritima, Meyer, 
or between that and var. coarctata, Hoffm. I question, however, 
whether this and several other so-called varieties are more than 
accidental states, due to situation. -Edward S. Marshall. A. 
alba, var. condensata, Hackel, mcd., var. coarctata auct. plur. non 
A. coarctata, Erh. — E. Hackel.
