370 GRAMINA. 



Y. Efford, near Lynham. Between Plympton and Brixton. Meadow 

 near Ford cottages. 

 VI. Ringmore, near the end of a vale opening on Bigbury Bay 

 (extreme genuina). Ermington. Between Strood and IMod- 

 bury. Caton. 

 I have never seen typical G. joUcata in the unenclosed or cold moorland 

 tracts. Tliere is a form of Glijceria common in the area which I do not 

 as yet, without further study, venture to assign positively to any one of 

 the named species or varieties. 



Different forms of Glyceria often grow intermixed, so considerable care 

 is sometimes requisite in collecting examples for specimens.
