1847 FESTUCA PEATENSIS. 



yoking of the four names 

 (under 1346 and 1347) fails 

 to remove all the difficulties 

 in the nomenclature of the 

 grasses themselves. The 

 two names pratensis and 

 elatior are often used in- 

 terchangeably ; and I have 

 seen specimens so interme- 

 diate as to prevent me from 

 putting either of these two 

 names to them with any 

 confidence of being correct 

 in the choice. 



1348 Bromus giganteus. 



Counties all, except 5 42 46 

 47 60 61 71 72 74 78 97 

 104 to 112. It will be seen 

 that my notes fail to shew 

 any counties for this grass 

 to the north-westward of 

 Moray and Argyle. 



1349 B. asper. 



Counties all, except 42 43 48 

 60 71 74 78 89 96 to 99 

 102 104 to 112. The north- 

 ward limit is thus slightly 

 more restricted than that 

 of the preceding grass. 



1350 B. sterilis. 



Counties all the English, except 

 69 and 71. In Wales and 

 Scotland it has been recorded 

 as under : 



42 Brecon. Ley cat.

N.B. This grass, so abundant 

 in the southern counties, 

 must surely take rank among 

 the less common in Scotland. 

 Marked as " very common " 

 in the Edinburgh Catalogue.
