LOLIUM MULTIFLORUM Lam. Bridgeport (Eames). 
f L. MULTIFLORUM Lam., var. DIMINUTUM Mutel, Fl. France, iv. 139 
(1837). L. Boucheanum Kunth. Fields and roadsides: East Haven 
(Bissell), Bridgeport (Eames), Greenwich (Bissell & Weatherby). 
This has been confused with L. perenne. Forms intermediate between 
this and the typical form occur at Fairfield and Bridgeport (Eames). 
The above forms are difficult to distinguish in herbarium material 
by any clear characters, but are kept apart as sub-species or even as 
species by practically all recent European authors on the ground that 
one is annual and the other perennial. The specimens cited under the 
variety, except that from Greenwich, were referred to L. perenne in the 
Catalogue. 
The following key may help to distinguish these plants :— 
A. Unexpanded leaves folded; rachis usually smooth except on the angles; 
glumes of the upper spikelets exceeding the contiguous floret, usually 
more than half the length of the spikelet................. L. perenne 
A. Unexpanded leaves rolled in from each margin toward the mid-vein; 
rachis usually roughened; glumes of the upper spikelets not exceeding 
the contiguous spikelet. : 
B. Annual; spikelets 10-20-flowered; glumes of the lowest spikelets 
often exceeding the contiguous floret.......... L. multiflorum 
B. Perennial; spikelets 5-8(9)-flowered; none of the glumes exceeding 
the contiguous floret............ L. multiflorum, var. diminutum 
+ L. TEMULENTUM L., var. LEPTOCHAETON A. Br. Associated with 
the typical form, Bridgeport (Eames). 
+ HORDEUM TRIFURCATUM Jacq. Rare. Waste ground and fence- 
rows: Berlin and Southington (Andrews). 
_ İH. Caput-Mepusar (L.) Cosson. Formerly abundant along a 
roadside at Bridgeport, but the station has since been destroyed 
(Eames). Fugitive from Europe. 
+H. murinum L. Wall Barley. Way Bent. Waste ground:
