 plant on a hedge-bank near the Rectory-house at Calstock, 

 1879.

 right-hand side near to the entrance to Chelson Meadow^ ; Keys, 

 S. D. Lit. Chron. 385 ; Sal tram ! ; near Billacombe ! ; Plym- 

 stock ; id., Fl. iii. 279. Grows m many bushy and waste spots 

 on the limestone beds to the east of the Plym estuary, between 

 Pomphlet, Mount Batten, and Elburton. Here it is being 

 gradually reduced in quantity through increasmg cultivation of 

 the ground, Derriford, Egg Buckland ; a slight variety of a 

 pale green hue here, 1868 ; the grass occurs in two pastures. 

 Several plants on the bank of the Tavistock Railway, near 

 Shaugli Bridge, growing with Crepis biennis, and there is little 

 doubt originally introduced, 1874. 

 V. Two plants on a hedge-bank by a lane between Westlake and 

 Lee :\Iill Bridge, 1879. 

 First record : Jacob, 1835. 



816. B. minor, L. Small QuaJcing-Grass. 



Colonist ; in dry arable fields among corn or other crops. Very 

 rare and extremely local. July, August. 

 c. I. Over tw^o 'dozen plants, some very small, in the old and little- 

 frequented road between Polscove and Polbathick, gi'owing 

 with scanty vegetation for some yards, a quarter of a mile from 

 Tredrossel, August, 1875. 

 II. Fields betw^een Trevol and St. Johns ; Jacob, FL part viii., with 

 plate. Near Torpoint ; Hore, Phyt. i. 161, 1842. A single 

 plant in a field of wheat between Torpoint and St. Johns, 

 1865 ; several among wheat, 1869 ; many, 1872 ; in plenty in a 

 field of barley, a little north of this, by the lane from the field- 

 path between Antony village and Trevol, 1875. These records 

 have probably all reference to only one locality, as Trevol lies 

 between Torpoint and St. Johns. 

 IV. Five plants seen in a field of wheat between Wiverton and But- 

 lass farm-house, August, 1878. 

 The stations "Devil's Point, 1847 ;" "Catdown ; Banker, 1850," given 

 under this in Keys's Flora, belong really, I have little doubt, to B. media.
