* By a strang-e mistake, Linnfeus made this '* Gramen pra- 

 tense" of Sloane a synonym both of '^ Agrostis purpurascens" 

 and of *' Poa ciliaris,*' in which he has been followed by Miller 

 and Martyn in the Gardener's Dictionary, and by Willdeuow in 

 his recent edition of the Species Plantarum. The error seems 

 to have originated in Browne having" identified this Gramea 

 of Sloane with his Briza. Even in the recent work, now in 

 the course of publication, of Roomer, and Shultcs, this plate, 

 73./. 1. is twice referred to — once as a represcutation of Ai^rostis
