| notes: | Carex filiformis, L. Very abundant but usually barren, a fact which may account for its not having been previously observed in this locality (and county). The fruit is so scarce that on the first occasion I detected only one spike with female spikelets. It is odd that the other prevailing Carex in this extensive bog should be one which has a similarly curious distribution: C. limosa, Dorset, Hants, East Anglia, and from Salop northwards: C. filiformis, Devon to Hants, East Anglia, and from Stafford, &c, northwards. - Edward F.
