MACLOSKIE I REVISION OF FLORA PATAGONICA. 57 



W. Patagonia, in the Rio Aysen valley on sandy shores at the border 

 of the forest, Lago Argentine at the border of the beech forest, abundant ; 

 E. Fuegia in bushy steppe ; S. Fuegia at the border of the beech forest 

 near Rio Grande ; N. Europe. 



All my specimens from Fuegia and W. Patagonia previously referred 

 to Poa nemoralis L. are without doubt identical with P. glauca Sm. as 

 quoted above. C. Lindman, who is preparing an explanation of the N. 

 European Poaceae, has been so kind as to determine my specimens. D.
