water in various localities in the county of Borung. Sept.-Nov., 1903—1904. 
F. M. Reader. f 
Professor Hackel, to whom this grass was submitted for verification, 
confirms that the plant is a new species, but on account of the rhizome 
in the specimens being imperfect, and the -mode of innovations being 
thereforme doubtful, he considers it difficult to ascertain to which of 
the known species it is most closely related. It may belong to the 
.Nemorales* (Hook., J., ,Flora Brit. Ind.“), where the culm, when flower- 
ing, is not surrounded by developed innovation-shoots (surculi) as in 
Poa caespitosa 'Forst., but only by buds or leafless stolons. In the ,Ne- 
morales“ group there are also species with compressed culm (P. com- 
pressa) and with long ligule (P. palustris and P. sterilis, but none of 
them is nearly related to this plant. Nor is this species of Indian origin, 
there being no described Indian Poa to whieh it could belong; neither 
is there any near relationship to Poa caespitosa, or to any of the New 
Zealand species.
