5^4 GRAMINACEAE 



C. lanceolata is recorded in Top. Bot. for Hants, and with some doubt for 

 Surrey. 



It would appear to be in accordance with the rules of nomenclature, as 

 followed by British botanists who adopt the law of priority, that the plant 

 here called C. epicjeios, Roth, should be called C. lanceolata, Stokes, while 

 C. lanceolata, Both, should be C. epigeios, Huds., but I have not ventured to 

 raake such a perplexing change.
