smaller form - "with shorter peduncles, and remarkably hairy fruit", "In one of the Potter's Hill pools."
Ranunculus floribundus Bab.
Ranunculus pseudo-fluitans "Bab." Hiern. - "There are no floating leaves" - "Notwithstanding Hiern's separation, R. pseudo-fluitans Bab. and R. penicellatus Dum. are usually considered to be the same - one without and the other with, floating leaves." - Arthur Bennett, 1905.

Axillary bulbils - "not of very rare occurrence with us."
var. incumbens F. Schultz. - "rather rare about Bristol, and seems to be confined to moist shaded situations on low ground, where the plants are luxuriant.", "Luxuriant plants on damp shaded hedgebanks develop these bulbous bodies or aerial tubers in the axils of foliage leaves at the end of April. I have specimens from a sheltered lane at Barrow Gurney with stems a foot long carrying at least three leafy nodes, the lower ones with bulbils. The central node on these stems has produced tufts of from four to six opposite long-stalked leaves, and the upper node usually two much smaller ones. Many of the leaves on these plants are conspicuously angular or ivy-shaped. The tubers of its fasciculate root together with those borne upon the stems, any one of which can produce a new plant, render this species quite independent of fruit for its propagation."
abnormal form - "possessing 13 to 18 petals and five sepals. These were collected at Shirehampton in March, 1868, by the Rev. W. W. Spicer."

Somerset, a form of different aspect from the common plant - very strong, with scapes approaching a foot in length - that produces a kind of tap root from which the neck fibres are entirely absent. In some respects, therefore, the specimens simulate the Continental T. hispida Roth., from which, however, they are at once distinguished by the normal shortly-beaked fruit.

Symphytum peregrinum Ledeb., S. asperrimum auct. non. M. Bieb., S. uplandicum Nyman, pp., S. orientale Fr. non Linn. (Prickly Comfrey)
S. asperrimum - "There is good evidence that the two species once grew together in the Oakford Valley near Bath. Specimens exist, collected by Mr. French, which closely approach asperrimum. He sent plants to Dr. Boswell Syme, who cultivated them at Balmuto. In 1879 Dr. Syme distributed specimens, derived in all probability from Oakford Valley plants, through the Bot. Exch. Club, and these clearly belong to asperrimum. With them he sent the following note: - "I have examples [of asperrimum] from Bath, collected by Mr. French more than 30 years ago, but it appears to be extinct there now; though the dubious plant S. uplandicum Nyman, (S. peregrinum Baker), still grows there"."
hybrids - "Mr. Bucknall has observed that when S. peregrinum occurs alone it develops no characters in the direction of S. officinale; but where the two species grow together, as on the banks of the Land Yeo stream and in the Oakford Valley, he finds easily recognisable hybrids. The hybrids having mixed characters. A low stature and leaves more or less decurrent show the influence of S. officinale; while the campanulate, blue-tinted corolla comes from S. peregrinum. On the margin of a wood in the Oakford Valley some unusually tall plants with the yellowish-white corolla of f. ochroleuca may perhaps owe their increased stature to an admixture of S. peregrinum."

He considered that if Rostkoviana and curta were present at the place, Mr. Bucknall's specimens must be the hybrid. The former was certainly at the spot, but we could find nothing to be referred to curta. It seems not unlikely that the latter had been nearly or entirely replaced by the hybrid, which is shortly pubescent as in typical E. curta, while the large flowers and some glandular hairs are indications of Rostkoviana."

Mentha piperita L. (Pepper-Mint)
var. vulgaris Sole
a. officinalis
intermediate between officinalis and vulgaris - "having the elongated leaves of the former with the capitate spikes of the latter."
A very remarkable Mint - "differing from any form of M. piperita hitherto described as British, was found by Mr. Fry on Worle Hill near Weston-super-Mare in October, 1884. This was of dwarf habit with numerous small (1 1/4 by 3/8 in.), narrow ovate-lanceolate sharply serrate leaves of rather thick and coarse texture, subglabrous above and hairy on the veins beneath; and spikes cylindric, short, slender and extremely dense in inflorescence. The corollas had fallen at the date of discovery. Although the glabrous peduncles and subglabrous calyces, hairy only on the teeth, would unquestionably place it under an aggregate M. piperita; yet in the opinion of Mr. Arthur Bennett, who kindly reported on it, the characters as a whole separated the plant from both the recognised British forms. A plant almost identical had been gathered by Mr. Beeby in Surrey. Probably this would be represented among the series of forms named by continental botanists; but as it unluckily disappeared from Mr. Fry's locality shortly after he noticed it, and has not been detected elsewhere, he has been unable to pursue the investigation."

(Bergamot Mint) - "The Mendip plant is practically glabrous throughout - corolla included - the calyx only being hairy on the upper portion ("glabra, calycibus tantum ciliatis"; Koch, Syn.) The flowers of the wild plant form an oval or oblong spike exactly as described by Grenier and Godron in the Flore de France, instead of a globular head as in M. aquatica. The foliage is purplish green, a darker tint than that of the last species, and when fresh exhales a sweet scent, recalling verbena or lemon-thyme, which is quite distinctive."

var. hircina Hull. = M. piperita var. sylvestris Sole.
Mentha sativa L. (Marsh Whorled Mint)
var. paludosa Sole.
var. subglabra Baker.
Mentha rubra Smith. (Tall Red Mint) - "Our rubra is a big strong plant running to 4 or 5 feet high, almost glabrous, with conspicuous bright red flowers and dark purplish foliage. Its scent is coarse and disagreeable, very unlike that of the kindred species."
Mentha gentilis L. (Bushy Red Mint) - "usually differs much from M. rubra by its humble branched growth; by the pure green of its leaves, and by the comparatively bluish tint of its flowers; the reddish tint of the stem, leaves and flowers of M. rubra being absent. In approximating forms, the coarse scent of M. rubra will (always ?) distinguish them."
Mentha gracilis Sm. var. cardiaca Baker. (The Basil or Cardiac Mint) - "used to be extensively grown for its mild stimulating and antispasmodic properties, and it still has a place in cottage gardens at Stoke Gifford, etc. It is a pretty, bright-flowered plant, intermediate between M. spicata and M. rubra."

Melissa officinalis L. (Common Balm)
Sideritis montana L.
Scutellaria galericulata L. (Common Skull-cap)
Scutellaria minor Huds. (Lesser Skull-cap)
Prunella vulgaris L. (Self-heal)
white-flowered form - "with pale foliage (permanent) has been noted (G.) in a peaty field near Filton, 1852; Herb. Cundall; near Siston; Misses Cundall; near Patchway and between that place and Over; by Oldbury Court on the left bank of the Frome; Miss Roper; on Tytherington Hill; and on hillsides above Hillsley; and (S.) in the short turf of the coast downs between Clevedon and Walton Bay; and in Greyfield Wood, Hallatrow. The corolla in this variation is snow-white, never cream-coloured as with the next species."
Prunella laciniata L.
α integrifolia Godr. - "Some of my specimens have their leaves entire save for two teeth at the base of each upper one."
β pinnatifida Koch. - "stem leaves are deeply pinnatifid, with narrow segments."
bluish-purple flowers - "Mrs. Gregory, who is familiar with P. laciniata on the Mendips, has found growing with the type a small patch of plants bearing bluish-purple flowers which do not show the least difference in structural characters. Although frequent with the common Self-heal, a colour variation with laciniata appears to be quite rare. Gremli (Fl. der Schweiz), and Koch (Syn. ed. 3.), assume that flowers of the latter are always cream-coloured; but Grenier and Godron (Flore de France) say that they may be "rarement purpurines." Mr. Bucknall possesses some fine specimens of this colour-sport gathered at 600 mètres in Liguria by Mr. Clarence Bicknell. These are labelled "Brunella intermedia Link, = B. vulgaris x laciniata." I see in them pure P. laciniata without trace of hybridity, and decidedly no "intermediate" in a structural sense. The flowering of this species is practically over by the end of July, but secondary shoots develop later from axils of leaves towards the base of the withered stems, and these bare flowers as late as the beginning of November in a mild autumn. Their leaves are commonly undivided, as are usually the lower leaves of the plant from the axils of which the shoots spring."
Nepeta Cataria L. (Cat Mint)
Nepeta Glechoma Benth. (Ground Ivy)
A form - "with pinkish-white flowers marked with red is on the high ground by Blaise Castle."
var. parviflora Benth. - "Differs from the type in its much smaller flowers, the corolla tube only equalling the calyx; the smaller and more deeply incised teeth. The flowers are often functionally unisexual on account on account of abortive anthers."
Lamium amplexicaule L. (Henbit Dead-nettle)
A luxuriant form - "with much larger leaves and the upper internodes very short, in appearance approaching L. intermedium, has occurred on high ground near Hutton and under Cadbury towards Clevedon."

Lamium Galeobdolon Crantz., Galeobdolon luteum Huds. (Yellow Archangel, Weasel-snout)
Leonurus Cardiaca L. (Mother-wort)
Galeopsis Ladanum L. (Red Hemp-nettle) - "So far as my observation goes, the Bristol plant is all G. angustifolia Ehrh., with hairs of the calyx closely adpressed; differing markedly, however, in breadth of leaf from the Continental angustifolia, which has the leaves much narrower. The less common English plant (G. Ladanum auct. mult.; a normalis Rouy & Fouc.; G. intermedia Villars) - not yet met with in this district - has a shaggy calyx and a differing habit. Surrey specimens of it, gathered by S. T. Dunn in 1894, agree perfectly with G. calcarea Schönheit."
Galeopsis Tetrahit L. (Common Hemp-nettle)
white-flowered variation; f. alba - "frequent along the line of the G. W. R. between Brislington and Keynsham. I have seen it also by the Frome near Stapleton, at Northwards."
var. nigrescens Brébisson - "besides the purplish-black calyx-lobes, etc., another point distinguishes this variety - its preference for untouched ground rather than cultivated land."
var. bifida Boenn. - "a much smaller plant, under a foot high, with a much smaller and shorter corolla, has been noted near Shapwick Station (Fl. Som.). It is but a slight modification and may not be uncommon."
Galeopsis speciosa Mill., G. versicolor Curtis. - "A solitary plant, now in the possession of Miss Livett, was found on the border of a cultivation at Ebbor by Miss G. Harte in Sept. 1849."

Teucrium Chamaedrys L. (Wall Germander)
Ajuga reptans L. (Bugle)
white-flowered plant - "In Gloucestershire I have seen it by Over Lane, and in Westridge Wood above Wotton-under-Edge; and on the Somerset side in Leigh Wood, in a wood between Abbotsleigh and Failand, and in Weston Big Wood between Portishead and Clevedon. Miss Livett has it from Ebbor on Mendip; and Miss Roper from Limeridge Wood in 1905."

Pure white, and purplish varieties - "in woods near Temple Cloud."
calyx converted into leaves - "found in 1883 by Miss M. Mayow, near Easton; Fl. Som.; and near Shepton Mallet, 1900, by Miss Roper."
monstrosity with three flowers raised upon a stalk - "On the border of a field under Backwell Hill at the end of March, 1905.", "Each flower consisted of a corolla of the ordinary size and colour, but out of its tube grew a second corolla in all respects similar. This sort of duplicate or hose-in-hose flower is said by Masters to be due apparently, not so certainly to the formation of a second corolla within the first, as to the presence of an inner series of petal-like stamens which by their cohesion form a second pseudocorolla. A sport of this sort was known to Gerard, Herball (1597), p. 637.
var. caulescens Koch. - "I take this to be merely a state in which the flower-umbel, instead of being sessile and radical, is raised upon a stalk."
HYBR. acaulis x veris = P. variabilis Goup. - "Distinguished by its richly coloured flowers of deeper yellow, variable in size but always intermediate in form and tint between those of the parents. The Scape seems to be taller or shorter in proportion to the degree in which the specimen favours the cowslip or primrose respectively. These hybrids are commonly miscalled ‘‘ Oxlips,’’ but the true oxlip of the eastern counties is a distinct species (P. elatior Jacq.)."

Lysimachia vulgaris L. (Great Yellow or Common Loosestrife)
var. grandiflora - "The plant in the Saltford railway cutting.", "so named by Backhouse of York, who stated that the variety was well known to nurserymen. The difference between this and ordinary vulgaris appears to be that the panicle is terminal, instead of axillary and terminal; whilst the flowers are more showy, being larger and suffused with red at the bases of the petals; D. Fry. I have seen this in Bristol gardens and heard it called "Yellow Phlox. A little colony has been for some time established by the roadside on Marchant's Hill, below Old Down."

Anagalis arvensis L. (Scarlet Pimpernel)
Anagalis caerulea Schreb., A. femina Mill. (Blue Pimpernel)
mauve or flesh-coloured Pimpernel (var. carnea Schrank) - "has occurred several times about Bristol, either among corn or as a garden weed. Hitherto this has been rather generally regarded as a hybrid between the blue- and. scarlet-flowered plants, but the more probable view is that it is merely a pale variety of the latter."

Williams (Prodr, Fl. Brit., part 7, 1910) on a specimen from Steep Holm in the Bristol Channel. Mr. Bucknall and I have searched for it on Brean Down, where are some broad-leaved forms of P. Coronopus, but we found nothing that would do for P. Serraria."
Plantago maritima L. (Sea Plantain)
Plantago lanceolata L. (Ribwort, Rib-grass)
curious proliferous form or monstrosity - "with several heads and leafy bracts upon the scape, is of rare occurrence. I found one on a railway bank at Montpelier Station many years ago; and another at Avonmouth in 1900. The latter had developed a tuft of leaves at the top of its spikes. In 1905, on waste ground in St. Philip's Marsh, Bristol, there were two large plants each with several scapes. On one plant a single scape only bore an umbel of five or six heads : on the other all the stalks were similarly monstrous. A "rose" variation of this species was noticed by Miss Roper at Stoke Bishop in 1903."
Plantago Timbali Jord. - "found occasionally in crops of sown grasses, clover, etc. It is a large, tufted plant, with heads of a silvery-white appearance from the nature of the scarious bracts."
Plantago Lagopus L. - "Casual in Portishead Station-yard, S. 1907! Miss Roper. And on a fowl run under Ashley Hill, G. in 1911."
Plantago media L. (Lamb’s-tongue, Honey Plantain)
Plantago major L. (Greater Plantain, Way-bread)
Schlechtendal enumerates - "Two only have come under my notice in the wild state. (1) This occurred on both sides of the way in the Cheddar and Wedmore road a short distance south of Shipham on Mendip, in 1906. The plants bore either one, two, or three subrotund leaves, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter with a flower in the axil of each, upon the scape a short distance below the spike, which presented no other peculiarity. I judged these leaves to be foliaceous bracts, and find that Dr. Maxwell Masters speaks of such bracteate developments as being frequent with P. major. In the Flora of Hampshire, ed. ii, a precisely similar observation is recorded from Brookwood by Mr. Pryor. (2) A variation akin to that described by Masters (p. 108) as "roseate; bracts leafy in tufts or rosettes, without flowers, as in the so-called Rose Plantain, common in oldfashioned gardens in this country.” One plant of this, with four or five stems all similarly affected, was growing under a wall near the top of North Road, Bath; Sept. 1910; in association with and under the same conditions as a number of other plantains, all of which were normal. Each scape bore at the summit, instead of the usual spike, a close tuft or umbel of some thirty leaves of varying sizes. Examination showed, however, that some of these had a fruit in the axil: it was evident therefore that they were in reality monstrously developed bracts, brought into close apposition by a suppression of the internodes. Consequently this does not fit into that "class of cases wherein there is a complete substitution of one structure for another without any indication of transition between the two, or admixture of flowerbuds with the leaves" as suggested in Vegetable Teratology, p. 165. The fact that, as I am informed, the sport known as Rose Plantain can be reproduced by seed, makes the point abundantly clear."

Humulus Lupulus L. (Hop)
barren plant - "much less common than the other as it is the more graceful. It is, however, plentiful in the lanes about Rodney Stoke in Somerset, and along the hillside north of Horton in West Gloucester."

genuina (or type fragilis) - "is decidedly scarce.", "catkins; genuina having them dense-flowered with stamens much longer than the scales and an ovate-lanceolate ovary", "leaves do not furnish any marked characters, but appear to be broader and more suddenly acuminate."
britannica - "by far the more abundant plant in this country, and comprising the bulk of the fertile trees about Bristol.", "the catkins are lax-flowered, the stamens scarcely longer than the scales, and the ovary lanceolate-subulate."
Barren trees - "extremely rare in this district. There are four small ones on the right bank of the Chew just above Pensford, and Mr. Bucknall tells me of another not far away on the left bank of the river. Mr. D. Fry reported a large barren tree by the Avon near Grosvenor Suspension Bridge at Bath. I believe that these all belong to type fragilis, which is represented further by a small number of trees in the Frome valley near Stapleton and Frenchay, and one or two near Clevedon, in Walton withy-bed and by Walton Drove."
var. decipiens Syme. - "possibly the hybrid triandra X fragilis."

Salix triandra L., S. amygdalina auct. (Almond-leaved Willow)
amygdalina - "Saltford withy-bed, one ♂ and several ♀ bushes; the fertile ones show a slight approach to fragilis in the shape of the leaves, but none whatever in that of the capsules. They were considered to be amygdalina by the Rev. E. F. Linton."
var. Hoffmanniana Sm.
Salix purpurea L. (Bitter Purple Willow, Rose Willow)
var. Woolgariana? - "Nailsea Moor; at first (1884) supposed to be the var. Woolgariana and published as such in my earlier book; subsequently it was judged by Mr. Linton to be nearer type purpurea; discovered by Mr. D. Fry."
broad-leaved form (? the Boyton willow) - "has been known many years on a sandy bank near Berrow Church, and also close to the water-lily pond near Brent Knoll Station. This plant was named Forbyana Sm. by Dr. Buchanan White, and was cultivated at Bournemouth by the Rev. E. F. Linton, who said the naming was evidently correct. I have distributed it very widely, at home and abroad.", "S. Forbyana Sm. is believed to be of hybrid origin, and to have in it a recognisable - though certainly not a prominent - strain of viminalis."
var. Helix - "Riverside, Bath; Fl. Bathon. Suppl."
Salix viminalis L. (Common Osier)
Salix stipularis Sm. - "was recorded early in the last century from "osier-beds at St. Philip's Marsh" by Dr. H. O. Stephens, and ranked in his time as a distinct species with most salicologists. It is now classed as a complex hybrid that has arisen from crosses between viminalis and some uncertain members of the Capreae section, and in which the former is the predominant and only undoubted factor. The St. Philip’s osier-beds were eradicated long since, and no willow at present known to me in the district could be placed with certainty under stipularis."
Salix Smithiana Willd. = S. viminalis X the Capreae. (Silky-leaved Osier) - "An aggregate group, comprising several more or less distinct hybrid plants, all having viminalis as one of the parents, and all inseparably connected by intermediates that are likely enough to be secondary or ternary crosses. "These segregates of S. Smithiana pass one into the other, and it is often impossible to refer a specimen certainly to either. I have failed to find such a permanency of characters as would serve to definitely separate one form from another." - Dr. Buchanan White. I am not aware that any local form can be considered "typical" Smithiana."
var. S. rugosa Leefe. - "Specimens from many of these localities have been submitted at various dates to Mr. A. Bennett, Mr. J. G. Baker (then at Kew), and Dr. Buchanan White. On some from Walton the last-named botanist commented: "Would, I dare say, be called S. rugosa Leefe; which is often near, and sometimes inseparable from, S. velutinus; and is probably a hybrid with cinerea.”"
var. S. ferruginea G. And. - "This is a dubious item. The Ashton plant was referred to ferruginea on good authority, but another referee would have placed it with rugosa. Its leaves are rather smaller and narrower than those of our other Smithiana plants."
var. acuminata Sm. - another ambiguous form of doubtful parentage, which is perhaps best left under the aggregate Smithiana, though it stands as a distinct species in Babington's Manual. It is conjectured to have sprung from a union of viminalis and Caprea, modified possibly by a second hybridization with Caprea.
Salix cinerea L. (Grey Sallow)
bushes bearing both pistillate and staminate flowers - "On the brink of a quarry near Conham I once found two bushes bearing both pistillate and staminate flowers on the same branch."
var. S. aquatica Sm. - "With broader obovate leaves, somewhat rugose and glaucous, usually with whitish hairs beneath; generally bushy, seldom becoming a tree; appears to be made up of a series of hybrids with Caprea (commonly) and aurita (more rarely).", "Dr. Buchanan White (Journ. Linn. Soc. xxvii, p. 388) had little doubt that a plant collected at Clevedon was Caprea x aurita = S. capreola J. Kerner. Another Salicologist, equally eminent, held that it was cinerea x aurita = S. lutescens A. Kerner."
var. S. oleifolia Sm.
Salix aurita L. (Wrinkled-leaved Sallow)
Salix Caprea L. (Great Sallow)
forms with pointed leaves - "Some orms with pointed leaves, tending towards aquatica or cinerea and suggesting the idea that they may be hybrids between Caprea and one or other of those willows, as described in Fl. Heref., are found also in this district."

Orchis ustulata L. (Burnt-stick Orchis)
Orchis maculata L. (Spotted Palmate Orchis)
HYBR. maculata x latifolia. - "has the leaves of maculata, but approaches latifolia in its hollow stem, much broader and less deeply cleft labellum with the lateral lobes ultimately reflexed and marking confined to the centre (not scattered over the whole surface including the middle and lateral lobes as in typical maculata); in its much thicker spur, longer and stouter germen, more reflexed lateral sepals, and much larger and more conspicuous bracts. The general colour of the flowers is purplish, whereas in maculata type they usually have a nearly white ground."
Orchis latifolia L. (Broad-leaved Marsh Orchis)
Orchis incarnata L. (Marsh Orchis) - "characterised by its erect, narrow, bright green leaves broadest at or close to the base, never spotted but slightly hooded at the tip. Bracts markedly incurved (Sherring) and usually all longer than the pale-coloured flowers, which vary much in tint from white to rose or light purple."
Orchis pyramidalis L., Anacamptis pyramidalis Rich. (Pyramidal Orchis)
Gymnadenia conopsea R. Br. (Fragrant Orchis)
white-flowered variety - "About forty, of the purest white and very fragrant, were found with the ordinary form near Mells some years ago by Mr. W. Withers. I have heard of a solitary specimen on Quantock."

Habenaria chloroleuca Ridley., H. chlorantha Bab. (Common or Greater Butterfly Orchis) - "A much taller plant than the preceding, with flowers perceptibly broader and of a purer white. The anther cells, wide apart at the base and inclined together upwards, are characteristic."
Ophrys apifera Huds. (Bee Orchis)
forma albida - "the foliage is pale, the sepals are pure white, and the remaining floral organs light yellowish green with not a trace of the customary brown and purple variegation."
var. Trollii Reichb. fil. (Wasp Orchis) - "The central lobe of the labellum, viewed in front, presents a long triangular outline four times as long as broad, tapering from the base into an attenuate, little-reflexed point. The tinting of the lip is paler and more yellow than in the type; and the sepals are rather longer and more acuminate."

Epipactis latifolia All., Helleborine latifolia Druce. (Broad-leaved Helleborine)
Epipactis media Bab. non Fries. (Narrow-leaved Helleborine) - "wiry and slender plant, narrower and more elongated in all its parts, with flowers in a lax raceme and few in number. The flower is more decidedly greenish than that of E. latifolia. The basal bosses or "hunches" of the text books are the two tubercles at the base of the terminal portion of the labellum; and when well developed - which they are not always - they should be distinctly rugose in media and smooth in latifolia."

Tulipa sylvestris L. (Wild Tulip)
Fritillaria Meleagris L. (Fritillary, Snake's-head)
F. praecox - "The pure white flowers that are dotted about among the purple Snake’s-heads are mere albinos, and not a distinct variety as might be inferred from the name."

var. bracteata - variation with extremely long bracts - "A curious variation with extremely long bracts (up to 2 in.), permanent in cultivation, was found by Mr. Arthur E. G. Wray in Pillgrove Wood near Long Ashton, S. and is preserved in his garden."
Muscari racemosum Mill. (Grape-Hyacinth or Starch-Hyacinth)
Colchicum autumnale L. (Meadow-Saffron)
white-flowered plant
Colchicum flowering in Spring - "The flowers were small with narrow segments, pale and sickly in tint, and their anthers were shrivelled and pollenless. This no doubt was merely a temporary state of the plants, induced by adverse climatic conditions. It is probable that the young corms were seriously impeded in their development by the remarkably early and severe cold of the previous autumn, coming after a cold and wet summer. Some of them, therefore, were not prepared to flower when the first frosts arrived and had to postpone that function."

Juncus diffusus Hoppe. (Diffuse Rush) - "Now regarded as a hybrid between effusus and inflexus, and is found always in company with those species.", "The stems are rigid, green, with continuous pith, stouter and smoother (much less striate) than those of J. inflexus; panicle erect; fruit small, narrow, usually ill-developed. It appears to be absolutely barren; although capsules are formed they produce no seed."
secondary hybrid - "In Berrow dune-marsh; Fl. Som. and Rev. E. S. Marshall. I have been introduced to the plant in this locality; and, as Mr. Marshall pointed out to me, it is not entirely satisfactory. It favours J. inflexus too closely, and may perhaps be a secondary hybrid on that side."

Sparganium erectum L., S. ramosum Huds. (Branched Bur-reed)
var. microcarpum Neum. - "A smaller plant, with smaller fruit, less angular and less abruptly narrowed into a longer beak."
Falfield plant - "very puzzling, inasmuch as it had an unusually close resemblance to neglectum in stature and appearance. At first I thought we certainly had got neglectum; but Mr. Beeby, the author of the species, decided otherwise, the fruits being too small and too numerous."
Sparganium simplex Huds. (Unbranched Bur-reed)
Sparganium minimum Fr., S. natans Sm. (Small Bur-reed)
Acorus Calamus L. (Sweet Flag)
Arum maculatum L. (Cuckoo-pint, Lords and Ladies)
Italian Cuckoo-pint (A. italicum)? - "a larger and stouter plant with a yellow spadix, and deeply cordate-sagittate leaves appearing at the beginning of winter, the basal lobes of which are very long and divaricate. It has been found in Britain only in the immediate neighbourhood of the sea on the south coasts. Here and there on the south-eastern side of our district I have met with luxuriant specimens of the common Arum that approach italicum rather closely. Their broad, membranous spathe falls in front as a flaccid flap, and the large leaves have stalks of a foot or more long. But they are vernal, and the lamina is not of the right shape. Moreover, the club of the spadix is purple."

Potamogeton heterophyllus Schreb. (Various-leaved Pondweed)
Potamogeton lucens L. (Great Pondweed)
? Potamogeton decipiens Nolte. - "probably not a true species, but an aggregate of hybrids between P. lucens and P. perfoliatus.", "Mr. Fryer states that the plant never produces any pollen, the anthers being quite empty; and he finds the fruit to be always abortive."
Potamogeton perfoliatus L. (Perfoliate Pondweed)

var. tenuissimus Koch.
Potamogeton flabellatus Bab., P. interruptus Kitaibel. (Fan-like Pondweed)
var. scoparius Fryer. - "A slender, submaritime form with setaceous leaves.", "this form certainly has a superficial resemblance to the latter plant in its slender growth, and finely setaceous leaves; but these leaves have the structure of P. flabellatus, and the fruit is absolutely identical in character with that of the latter species."

Carex Davalliana Sm. (Tufted Dioecious Sedge)
Carex pulicaris L. (Flea Sedge)
Carex disticha Huds., C. intermedia Good. (Soft Brown Sedge)
f. minor Peterm. - "is abundant on the peat moors, and was known until lately in Berrow Marsh. It has slender, elongated spikes somewhat interrupted at the base, in this wise simulating weak and simple states of C. paniculata, with which it often grows."
similar but more striking form - "was gathered in a marsh on Itchington Moor, 1910, and deserves further study. In this plant the stems are nearly a yard high; the inflorescence is remarkably long, narrow and interrupted, without any enlargement in the centre and with no developed fruit; and the glumes are much paler than usual. Mr. A. Bennett tells me he has seen specimens that come near to it from Belfast and Forfarshire, and he queries it as a hybrid or sterile variety of the species."
Carex arenaria L. (Sea Sedge)
Carex divisa Huds. (Bracteated Marsh Sedge)
var. chaetophylla Daveau (C. chaetophylla Steudel)? - St. Philip's Marsh - "This is an extremely slender plant with unusually small spikes, and may be the var. chaetophylla Daveau (C. chaetophylla Steudel), but does not quite agree with Continental specimens."
Carex vulpina L. (Great Sedge)
var. nemorosa Rebent (C. nemorosa Lumn.) - "with longer interrupted spikes and long bracts, is not rare. I regard it as little more than a luxuriant "state,""
Carex muricata auct. plur., C. contigua Hoppe. (Greater Prickly Sedge)
Carex Leersii F. Schultz., C. muricata var. pseudo-divulsa Syme. - "differs from C. contigua Hoppe inter alia by the glume, which is broader than long (in C. contigua it is longer than broad), by the lowest bract, which is linear-lanceolate (in contigua it is ovate), by the shorter, broadly ovate perigynia, narrowed into a short beak (in C. contigua they are longer, and narrowed into a longer beak), and by the nut being sessile on the base of the perigynium (in C. contigua it is placed far above the base)."
Carex divulsa Stokes. (Grey Sedge)
Carex teretiuscula Good., C. diandra Schrank. (Lesser Panicled Sedge)
Carex paniculata L. (Greater Panicled Sedge)
var. simplex Peterm. = var. simplicior Andersson. - "Weak, late-flowering plants of this species, with small, narrow, nearly simple spikes, are not uncommon on the peat moors; and in an extreme state may be mistaken for C. elongata or C. Boenninghauseniana."
Carex axillaris Good. (Axillary Sedge) - "A hybrid between vulpina and remota", "A curious feature of this hybrid deserves attention. While both vulpina and remota are stiff enough to stand erect until they wither, the much longer stems of axillaris are too weak to sustain their heads, and so bend over to the ground until the panicles rest upon and are hidden among the adjacent herbage. In consequence, the hybrid may not be noticed unless closely looked for wherever the parent sedges are seen to be growing together."
secondary hybrids - "There have appeared to be secondary hybrids on the remota side associated with axillaris in some instances, but of this I am not sure."

Carex leporina L., C. ovalis Good. (Oval-spiked Sedge)
Carex elata Allioni., C. stricta Good., C. caespitosa Gay. (Tufted Sedge) - "C. elata appears to have been always a little difficult to recognise and understand, from its bearing some resemblance to C. acuta and C. Goodenovii. It is best distinguished by the large tussocks which it forms when free to do so on the edge of a pool; by the shining leaf-sheaths at the base of the stems being split and filamentous on the margins; and by the fruit close-ranked in about eight regular rows. It is the delicate edge of the upper part of the sheaths that becomes filamentous, as stated by Hooker in the Student's Flora - a better definition than that given by Babington. When dispersed among the rank vegetation of a swamp the caespitose character is not so conspicuous. ‘The leaves have recurved (revolute) edges, especially when dry, while those of Goodenovii are involute."
Carex acuta L. (Slender-spiked Sedge)
var. prolixa Fries - "On the banks of the Boyd this sedge is densely caespitose, with narrow foliage, long bracts, and long tapering glumes. The upper fertile spikes have a few male flowers at the top."

Carex panicea L. (Pink-leaved Sedge)
curious monstrosity - "Mr. S. Gibson (Phytol. I, p. 462) mentions a curious monstrosity of C. panicea met with at Bristol in 1842. It had double perigynia, the second or upper one with its peduncle passing through the orifice in the lower one."

var. minor Towns.= oedocarpa Andersson = C. Oederi Liljebr. - "Our common form", "with stem equalling the leaves or even shorter; fruit with a straight beak or but little deflexed; and female spikes usually distant."
The type (eu-flava) - "very scarce."
var. elatior
C. lepidocarpa Tausch - "to which we formerly placed the bulk of our plants, proves to be more frequent in North Britain than it is in the West. A plant labelled lepidocarpa from a lower slope of Dundry Hill was agreed to by Mr. Briggs."
remotiuscula Schur.? - "specimen from Max meadows Mr. A. Bennett commented as follows. "Tausch insists on the scabrous stems 'culmo subfiliformi scabro'; (C. flava = ' culmo laevi’). Your specimen has the smooth stem of flava, with the long, exserted male spike of lepidocarpa. The bracts, however, are not of flava genuina which exceed the male spike. It is clearly a flava form, not an Oederi one, and if we keep to Tausch’s own description not his lepidocarpa. I can find no name to exactly fit it."

hybrid between this species and C. flava (C. xanthocarpa Degl.) - "I have gathered on Blackdown the hybrid between this species and C. flava (C. xanthocarpa Degl.); and Mr. Bucknall had it on Shapwick Moor several years ago."
Carex distans L. (Loose or Distant-spiked Sedge)
coast plant - "is as a rule much smaller than that growing far from the sea, and there are some slight structural differences between the two. Miss Livett has drawn my attention to specimens from the Channel shore near Clevedon which have the short beak of the fruit very nearly smooth."
very luxuriant inland form - "was confidently submitted as C. laevigata with the approval of a practised botanist, who subsequently owned to having been sleepy when he passed it !"

Carex filiformis L. (Slender-leaved Sedge)
Carex hirta L. (Hammer Sedge)
var. hirtaeformis Persoon - "with glabrescent leaves and glumes, merges imperceptibly into the type and seems to be of little importance. Miss Roper has shown me a dense mass of it, several sq. yards in extent, on some gravel brought from the Severn to the stone works at Tytherington. A good deal also in the meadows between Kelston Station and the Avon, pointed out to me by Mr. D. Fry. And along the canal-side near Bathampton ! Miss Peck."

The plant is figured and described as having very short, cordate triangular fronds of fragile texture; thin, soft and sterile", "Lobel saith that he found on Saint Vincents Rocke not farre from Bristow in a hollow cave or hole, a smaller kinde whose leaves exceeded not the breadth of three fingers, nor hard nor rough but smooth and gentle, and without any markes on the backside of them, yet with a hollow roundnesse at the bottome of them, and besides somewhat unevenly dented about the edges: the roots were very small and threaddy, quickly withering. Clusius saith that Lobel having sent him some of those plants, after hee had kept them in a pot two years because of their tendernesse, they changed their forme into the jagged Harts-horne, where-of he much mervailed, for afterwards as he saith when he came into England, hee gathered with his owne hands in the same place the like plants, which there held the forme of Hemionitis."
