Flora of Australia. 67 



Fe.-*tuca rubra, L. " Red Fescue." (Gramineae). 



Neerim Junction, Gippsland, Victoria, H. S. Wheeler, Dec, 

 1910. 



This naturalised alien has only been recorded previously in 

 Tictoria from the North-East. 



Gastrolobium trilobum, Benth. (Leguminosae). 



The only localities for this West Australian species given in 

 Bentham's Flora Australiensis, vol. II. p. 101, are: — 



SAvan River, Drumniond ; near Williams, Preiss, No. 825. The 

 former specimen was the only one represented in the National 

 Herbarium, Melbourne, but now the following additional locali- 

 ties may be reported : — Cut Hill, York, West Australia, 0. H. 

 :Sargent, 1908; Mt. Caroline, Miss Sewell, 1890; Sources of the 

 :Swa.n River, Miss A. Eaton, 1889 ; Bunkin, near Lake Wagin, 

 Miss M. Cronin, 1890. 



The specimens from the two latter localities are in fruit, 

 which may now be described as follows : — 



Pod 6 mm. long, 3 mm. broad, elongate — ovate, with a short 

 blunt terminal upwardly bent beak, on a distinct stalk 4 mm. 

 long, projecting beyond the calyx. 



'Glycbria Fordeana, F. v. M. (Poa Hackeli, F. M. Reader). 

 (Gramineae). 



County of Borung, Victoria, F. M. Reader, Sept. to Nov., 

 1903-4. 



This is the type specimen of Poa Hacleli, F. M. Reader, de- 

 scribed in the " Victorian Naturalist," Vol. XXIII. , page 89 

 (1906). 



As a prior P. HaclieJi already existed the name could not 

 -stand in any case, but as the only difference between this plant 

 and the type Glyceria Fordeana, lies in the fact that the 

 ;spikelets of the latter are usually 8 to 12 flowered, and those 

 of the former usually 6 to 9 flowered, the species may safely be 

 suppressed. 



In all other respects there is complete agreement with 

 Glyceria Fordeana, and the number of flowers in the spikelets 

 may vary from 6 to 12 on the same specimen.
