 f. Intermediate in habit between d and e, but more 
rigid, subglaucous, and with the rather short dorsal 
awn inserted above the middle of the flowering 
glume ;— approaching var. Hispanica.— Plate 56. 
Flores (1064, at Coste). 
A careful examination of the many forms of this polymorphous 
species, which is the most abundant of the native grasses, makes 
it almost certain not only that it comprises Agrostis vulgaris and 
A. pallida of the Azorean lists, but that the reference of the two 
Deyeuxias of Hochstetter to A. pallida in the Index Kewensis can 
hardly be maintained. All specimens, especially those of form b, 
which in aspect resemble A. pallida, differ constantly in the pres- 
ence of a palet and in the characters of the flowering glume.
