One of the earliest colonising grasses, doubtless a legacy of 

 Trade, but in light soils now perfectly denizened in 34 or 35 

 County divisions, and be it remembered from 200 to 100 years 

 ago some dozens of species now accepted as of our Flora, were 

 in like case with Setaria, in the act of coming into their inheri- 

 tance. How else, with so many gradual extinctions, should 

 the ranks of Britain's floral forces be maintained ? (F. A. 

 Lees).

 Dewsbury.

 duction with wool, generally. Native on the S. E. Coasts ; 

 Norfolk, Essex, Kent, Hants., where it is a rare grass, ' But 

 extending its range,' Mr. Lees adds.
