192. A. repens (L.) Beaiiv. 



Not rare at inhabitcd piaces, partly in cncloscd fields and partly 

 on the sea-shore. 



San do: Sands (R., !); Str. : Tjornevig (Landt), Torsvig (!), Thorshavn 

 (L.,'R.,!), KirkeboO); Syd.: Porl^ere (R.); Vaago: Midvaag (R., !), Sande- 

 vaag (!), Sorvaag (L.); Ost.: Næs (!). Appears to be absent from the 

 Nordreoer. 



Fl. end of July. No fruit noticed as late as the end of August. 



193. Agrostis canina L. 



Conimon in Iowlands, in meadows and pools; also rather widely 

 distributed in the hills on bare stony ground. The hill-form with its 

 dcnse growth in tafts somewhat resembles A. borcalis Hartm. (A. riibra 

 Whbg.) and must properh' be referred to var. monlana Hartm., e. g. Kalso: 

 Blankeskaalefjæld, at some 600 m.(!); Kuno: hill-plateau at some 650 m.(!); 

 Ost.: Rejafjældstinde, 765 m. (!); Hesto (R.). 



An awnless form (var. miitica Gaud.) occurs, e. g. at Str.: Thors- 

 havn (!); Syd.: Kvalbo. Pale yellow specimens {{. pallida Rchb.) often 

 occur side by side with normal ones. Finally, to this species must be 

 referred a viviparous grass which \ve gathered on Str.: Vardebakken at 

 some 300 m. 



Fl. July. 



194. A. canina L. X vulgaris L.; Murbeck, De nord-europåiska 



formerna af slagtet Agrostis, Botaniska Notiser 1898, p. 10. 



A specimen, gathered by C.Jensen on Ost. at the pass »Bredaskard«, 

 180 m., when examined, showed that it must be referred to this hybrid. 

 The poll was quite barren. 



195. A. stolonifera L. ; A. alba, Rostr. p. 69. 



Common in the lowlands, especially in enclosed fields; the var. 

 maritima Lam. occurs liere and there on the sea-shore, e. g. Str.: Tors- 

 vig (!); Sando: Sands (R.); Syd.: head of Trangisvaagfjord (!); Vaago: 

 Midvaag (R.). 



Fl. July. 



196. A. vulgaris L. 



Common in the lowlands, especially in enclosed fields, but also 

 some way up the hill sides and then often attacked by Tilletia decipiens. 

 Fl. July. (Some specimens were still flowering as late as the 

 end of August). 



197. Aira caespitosa L. 



Common outside enclosed fields in the lowlands, but rare in en- 

 closed fields. It is also common as var. brevifolia Hartm. on the hill- 

 plateaux; leaves short and rather broad, spikelets large-flowered. At the 

 latter station, it is often vivaparous (A. alpina L.) and this form follows 

 the small streams down to the lowlands, where it occurs in gravel 

 and in damp ravines. 

 Fl. July.
