Elatine hexandra in Warwickshire. —An interesting result of the long 
continued drought was the rediscovery of this rare and minute water-plant 
on August 26th, at Coleshill Pool, where I found it growing in some abund¬ 
ance on the dry, black bed of the pool, which is usually covered with a con¬ 
siderable quantity of water. This plant was first found at Coleshill Pool in 
1835, by the late Dr. George Lloyd, who sent specimens to Mr. Watson, but 
it has not been seen there for many years. Although this species of Elatine 
has been recorded from only eighteen counties, its range in Britain extends 
from Cornwall and Surrey in the south to Perth in the north, and we may 
therefore expect to hear of fresh localities for the plant, which is one of 
those which have been much overlooked, both on account of its minute size, 
and from the fact that it usually grows under water. It forms little matted 
tufts of green and red, not unlike those of Peplis Portula, with which at 
Coleshill it was freely intermingled, and it may be distinguished from the 
still rarer Elatine Hydropiper by having three petals and six stamens, and 
turbinate capsules divided into three cells, while the latter species has its 
organs arranged in fours or multiples of four.
