FLOWERING PLANTS. 201 
as recorded in /. Sarn., in a ‘marsh at the Bouet near St. Peter’s 
Port.’ The locality has no doubt been built over long ago, or, at 
any rate, drained. 
Sclerochloa distans, Bab. Reflexed Meadow Grass. 
Native. First record: Marquand, 1891. 
Very rare. Plentiful in a small marsh on the north side of 
Bordeaux in 1889 and for some years after. The plant is now lost 
at this station owing to the marsh having been filled up with quarry 
rubble. 
Sclerochloa rigida, Link. Hard Meadow Grass. 
Native. First record: Marquand, 1891. 
Rare. In sandy fields and roadsides here and there at Les 
Sablons and Lerée; also in similar places at Cobo. 
Sclerochloa loliacea, Woods. Dwarf Meadow Grass. 
Native. First found: Gosselin, 1788. 
Rather common, especially near the sea. Occurs in all districts, 
but is more frequent in the lowlands than in the south. It is the 
Poa loliacea of Gosselin’s list and herbarium. 
Briza minor, L. Small Quaking Grass. 
Colonist. First record: Gosselin, 1815. 
Rather rare generally, though found in every parish in arable 
fields among corn and other crops, on roadsides and waste heaps, 
and occasionally in old quarries. 
(Briza media, L., occurs in Alderney.) 
Briza maxima L. 
Alien. First record: Marquand, 1891. 
Rare. Thoroughly naturalised in a few places: mostly dwart. 
Plentiful on a rocky eminence between King’s Mills and Mont 
Saint. Cliffside east of the valley below Le Casrouge (1v.) in 
considerable quantity, growing amongst furze. Also growing 
amongst furze in the Talbots Valley, near the quarry. Sparingly 
on the rubble above the pool at Pulias: in this spot apparently a 
garden outcast. Roadside and cliff near the White Tower at 
Fermain (Andrews). 
Catabrosa aquatica, Beauv. Water Whorl Grass. 
Native. First found: Gosselin, 1788. 
Rare. Plentiful in one part of the marshes near Ivy Castle. 
Marshy ground near Les Arguillers (1x.). This is the Azra aquatica 
of Gosselin, and the locality given for it in his herbarium is ‘ Douit 
de la Vrangue, facing gate of Long-camp.’ |
