CALAMAGROSTIS 563 



A. pumila has been kept as a separate species on the authority of 

 General Munro, who says, ' I think it a good species, although included. 

 by Kunth and others in A. vulgaris.' At any rate it is as distinct from 

 A. vulgaris as that plant is from A. alba. It occurs doubtless in all the 

 bordering counties, but I have not seen it in E. Gloucestershire.

 The panicle is usually of a purplish-brown colour, but sometimes, as 

 in Bagley, I have found it -with a wholly green inflorescence.

 the Road going from the Lodge to Virginia Water, by side of a Wood, in 

 a wet boggy place out of the direct Road, Dr. LigMfoot, MSS. 1762. This 

 probably means the preceding species, although the note is written opposite 

 to * 3 p. 401 in Ray's Synopsis.
