Flores. Fayal. Pico (Brown, 304). Terceira (1081 ; 
Sampaio). San Miguel (Carreiro, 57). Sta. Maria 
(1081, a, 1090, a). 
The last-named number bears someresemblance to A. Cupaniana, 
Guss., but as a rule both flowers of a spikelet are awned, whereas 
in A. Cupaniana one should be awnless. 
*A. praEcox, L.—B. & H. 520. f. 1192. 
Sta. Maria (1081, 6). 
*Deschampsia foliosa, Hack. Cat. Rais. Gram. Portug. 
(1880), 383. D. argentea, Watson 243, (2) 612; 
Drouet 206.— Plate 57. 
Corvo (1082). Flores (1083, 1084, 1085). Terceira 
(1086). San Miguel (1087; Carretro, 66). 
Quite distinct from the Madeiran D. argentea, which, for com- 
parison is figured on Plate 58. 
*tAVENA BARBATA, Brot. A. hirsuta, Watson 245, (2) 
612; Drouet 206 ; Seubert 19; Seub. & Hochst. 10.—

* 7 ARRHENATHERUM AVENACEUM, Pal. Beauv. Watson 244. 
Avena elatior, Watson (2) 612. A. elatior, 2. bulbosa, 
and ;. precatoria, Drouet 206. ?A. brevis, Watson 244, 
(2) 613. ?A. brevis, var. uniflora, Seubert 19 ; Drouet 
206; Seub. & Hochst. 10. ?Arundo brevis, Watson 
(3) 396.— B. & H. 522. f. 1197. 
Flores (1091). Fayal (Brown, 288, 289). Terceira 
(1092; Sampaio). San Miguel (1093; Carreiro). 
The moniliform bulbous bases render the plant a bad weed in 
gardens.— Brown, 288 has the nodes glabrous, but all of the other 
specimens I have seen belong to the form with pubescent nodes. 
*GAUDINIA FRAGILIS, Beauv.— Corbiére, 663.— Rehb. 1. 
pl. 90. 
San Jorge (1088). Sta. Maria (1088, a).
