A SUPPLEMENT TO THE ' FLORA VECTENSIS.' 205 



G. vvlgaris, Fries. At Alverstnne Lynch, in Sandown Marshes, 

 and at Easton, Freshwater, T have found a tall form which 1 believe is 

 the plant mentioned by Dr. Bromfield as " C. stricta,'" which latter has 

 not come under my notice. The " variety ^. of C. acuta,'' gathered by 

 Dr. Bromfield, in Alverstone Lynch, belongs also to C. vulgaris. 



C. distans, L. Frequent in meadows and marshy places near the 

 sea. Bembridge, Springvale, Wootton, Freshwater, etc. 



C. fulva, var. /3. C. Hornschichtmui, Hoppe. Very rare. Sparingly 

 on heathy ground near Lynn Farm. Plentiful at the upper end of (^ol- 

 well Heath. These are the only two stations where I have seen it. The 

 marshy meadows at Easton, Freshwater, produce a variety of C. distaus, 

 with glumes less mucronate than usual. (See ' Report of Botanical 

 Exchange Club,' 1862.) 



G. pallescem, L. In Firestone Copse with C. lavigata. Ningwood 

 (Dr. G. R. Tate). 



C. pendula, Huds. Plentiful under the cliff at Foreland, Bembridge. 

 In Steyne Wood, sparingly. 



C. Pseudo-cyperus, L. Centurion's Copse, sparingly. Copse between 

 Alverstone and Sandown (A. J. Hambrough). By the stream at Monk- 

 ton, near Ryde. 



C. palndosa, Good., var. KocJdana, De Cand. Ditches by the causeway 

 running across Sandown Marshes, close to Sandown. This has frequently 

 two stigmas. I have found some fruits bearing two, with others bearing 

 three stigmas upon the same spike. 



[^Eclihiochloa Crus-galli, Beauv. A single plant, on rough ground near 

 the shore at Freshwater, 1869 (F. Stratton).] 



\_Setaria virldis, Beauv. Many plants in a sandy stubble field near the 

 path leading from Sandown Cliurch to Pan Common, 1857.] 



[_S. glauca, Beauv. One plant at Alverstone, Whippingham ! 1869 

 (J. Pristo).] 



XGastridlum lendlgerum, Beauv. Frequent in cornfields about Bem- 

 bridge. At Brighstone, etc. Whippingham 1 (J. Pristo). A colonist. 



Agrostis vulgaris, L., var. A. pumila, liightf. Plentiful all over the 

 warren at Alum Bay. 



A. alha, L., var. A. marilima, Lara. Frequent, especially on wet, 

 slipped banks along the coast. 



\_Puh/pogon nionspeliensis, Desf. Very sparingly on salt-marsh ground 

 above the bridge at Norton, close to Saltern Copse, 1868 (Dr. G. R. 

 Tate). Mr. Stratton has not succeeded in finding this rare Grass in the 

 above-named locality, and until the circumstances of its occurrence are 

 more closely examined I prefer to exclude it as introduced by some 

 accident.] 



Calamagrosiis lanceolata. Roth. Plentiful in a small boggy thicket at 

 Knighton, growing with Lastrrea Thchjpteris (1857). 



Catabrosa aquatica, Beauv. Pond near St. Helen's. Pan fields, near 

 Newport (F. Stratton). In a little stream north of Freshwater Farm. 



Kceleria cristoia, Pers. Sparingly on St. Helen's Spit. This is ntjar 

 to K. albescens, De Cand., but the stem is not pubescent. 



Poa nemoralis, L. In a (k>ep, sandy lane between Brook Church and 

 Compton Farm, sparingly (1862). 



P. compi'essa, L. On the walls of the garden at the Chantry House, 

 Newport (Dr. H. Trimen).
