128 NOTES ON THE DORSET FLORA. 



restricted to the E. coast of England, came to be reported by 

 Pulteney for Dorset. No botanist has confirmed the discovery. 

 Miss E. Armitage wrote to me a very pertinent suggestion some 

 time back, viz., that Agrostis setacea, which is abundant on heaths 

 round Poole Harbour, is deceptively like C. canescens in the 

 earlier stage before its panicle opens out in flower, and might 

 easily be mistaken for it. It is true Pulteney mentions A. stlacea 

 for Dorset, viz., for Puddletown and seacoasts near Weymouth ; 

 but not, I believe, for any part of Poole Harbour, though it is so 

 abundant.

 heath near Wallis Down. Koeleria cris/a/a, Pers. Under this 

 familiar name several fresh stations for Koeleria might be given ; 

 but the genus has lately undergone some revision, and we have 

 three species in the London Catalogue (Ed. 10), instead of one. 

 The commonest form, to which most of our Dorset localities will 

 go, is now placed under K. gracilis, Pers., as var. britannica, 

 Domin. All my specimens of this genus have gone to Dr. 

 Domin to be determined afresh, and have not come back. I 

 have received specimens of two gatherings by the Rev. H. J. 

 Riddelsdell from Smallmouth Sands, Weymouth (C), one of 

 which is named by Dr. Domin K. graitlis, Pers. ; the type, that 

 is, and not our common British form, and the other K. aibescens,
