DEAR SIR, | : 
Mr. Crowe has this autumn discovered a grass « on his estate at 
Saham, Norfolk, about twenty-six miles from Norwich, which 
is new to our British Flora, and indeed very little known to bota- 
nists in general, the Bromus triflorus of Linnus, first mentioned 
by him in the 2d edition of Species Plantarum, 115. 
. No specimen of this grass is to be found in the Linnzan herba- 
> mum. d appears to have been described on the authority of 
zs Forskahl, as being found:in Denmark. The only synonym is 
that of Scheuchzer, p. 511. t. 5. f. 19, from which authority it 
should seem to have been that Germany was also mentioned as 
its place of growth. Linnzus in his oe has added a 
guanti of Fl. Danica, t. 440. 
T 2 adn. Danish specimens, collected by my late fend Mr. | 
ephen Delessert, jun., which exactly accord with the above- 
and descriptions, and which, are doubtless 
rus. Mr. Crowe's specimen no less exactly agrees 
| bape. to be able another season to obtain a supply 
stion of the Linnean Society and my.friends. —
