76 THE WILD FLOEA OF KEW (JAKDEN8. 



opposite end of smallest island on the Brentford side of lake. Another 

 in wood in company with Juncus squarrosus. 



Glyceria iiuitans, Brown. Lake and Strip. Common. 



G. aquatica, Sm. Strip. Abundant by moat. 



Poa annua, L. A large proportion of nearly every piece of turf is 

 made up of this plant. 



P. nemoralis, L. P. Here and there about lake. In Q it is very 

 abundant under trees, and in several places seems to form nearly the 

 whole of the turf. 



P. compressa, L. P. Here and there on the dry elopes near 

 Winter Garden, and in a dry spot or two in the wood. 



P. pratensis, L. Common in all the divisions. 



P. trivialis, Z. Not so frequent as last, if I have observed cor- 

 rectly. 



^>Toa sudetica, Hcenlce. In the shady parts of woods in P and Q, 

 the long, dark-green leaves and dense tussocks of this grass render it 

 very conspicuous. It seems to stand drought much better than many 

 of our British grasses. 



Briza media, Z. Pal. Frequent in turf before Palace. P. Com- 

 mon in the open part near locality given for Stachys sylvatica and 

 sparingly on the Richmond side of lake. Q. Here and there. 



Cynosurus cristatus, Z. Common everywhere. Forms a fair 

 share of most of the turf. 



Dactylis glomerata, Z. Yery generally diffused over the whole of 

 the ground included within the limits of our Flora. 



Festuca sciuroides, Roth. P. In diy beds and turf near Isleworth 

 Gate. 



F. ovina, Z. B, P, and Q,. In many dry places where the gravel 

 comes close to the surface, this grass is by far the principal factor in 

 the turf. 



F. rubra, Z., var. duriuscula, L. B. Pal, P, and Q. Frequent. 



F. elatior, Z. A single plant in wood behind Winter Garden. 

 Mr. J. M, Smith. Mr. Hemsley has specimens collected some years 

 ago between Winter Garden and Kew Boad, where, he says, it was 

 not uncommon. None exist there now. 



F. pratensis. Suds. P. Here and there in turf and beds near 

 river end of lake. 



Bromus giganteus, Z. Strip. Uncommon. 



*B. erectus, Huds. Pal. In hay-grass. Strip. About 150 yards 

 north of Isleworth Gate. A good tuft grows out of wall near this 

 place. • 



B. sterilis, Z. Common, particularly about Temperate House and 

 near Brentford Ferry. 



B. commutatus, Schrad. Pal. Hay-grass between Palace and 

 Brentford Ferry. 



B. mollis, Z. Here and there over the whole turf. 



Brachypodium sylvaticum, It. ^ S. P. In the turf skirting moat 

 Strip. Frequent. 



Triticum repens, Z. In every division. This seems to be the 

 principal ingredient in the rough parts of turf in some places in P. 



Lolium perenne, Z. Nearly everywhere both in long and short 

 grass forming a large proportion of the turf.
