| notes: | J. tenuis Willd. Footpath through peaty arable land, Lady Hall, S. Cumberland, Oct. 7, 1924. I waited till late in the year before gathering this, in the hope of securing more mature fruits. Unfortunately, the season was so wet that few were produced and, moreover, the plants dried so badly as to be only useful as a record. I believe the species has been once recorded for the north of the County, but not for the south. The plants were in great quantity, growing with J. bufonius, in particularly tenacious party soil above estuarine sand, near the R. Duddon.-W. H. Pearhall. J. tenuis Willd. Abundant on stone paving by farmhouse, Rosemorran, near Gulval, W. Cornwall. Aug. 5, 1929 (later specimens received Aug. 30,). A new locality for this plant, still rare in Cornwall, H. S. Thompson. It was rather rare in Surrey before the war, but since much of the timber was cut sown this Juncus appeared in several of the Commons and along the canal banks.-J. Fraser. |
