years ago, in a low marshy meadow near Little Chelsea,
where it still grows, flowering in August and September.
It occurs in similar situations upon the Continent, and
is not likely to be confounded with any European species
of this genus, except the C. Jlavescens, which has, however,
spikelets wholly of a yellowish colour, shorter and broader,
and having only two stigmas to the flower.
Our specimens wex'e kindly communicated by the Rev.
Mr. Bree of Allesley, who gathered them in the place
above-mentioned.—W. J . H.
