SHORT NOTES. 



West Cornish Plants. — In May, 1886, Rev. R. P. Murray and 



myself gathered under trees at Antron House, near Helston, some 



specimens of a Poa, which Mr. Beeby inclined to name swletka 



Haenke. Prof. Hackel now reports on it: — "Poa Chai.vi Vill. 



(1785), var. remote. P. remote Fr. P. sudetica Haenke (1791), var. 



remota, auct. pi." I brought away from the Lizard coast a turf 



containing Scilla autumnalis, &c. Last summer a Festuca flowered 



in it, which differed from the forms I had previously seen. Through 



Mr. Beeby's kindness I have the following definition from Prof. 



Hackel: — " F. ovina var. vulgaris Koch, subvar. hispidula." It is 



remarkably glaucous and broad in the flower. — Pohjtjala vuU/aris L. 



(fide Ar. Bennett), from the south shore of the Looe Pool, and Curex 



resienria L., from Gunwalloe, are additions to the records for v.-c. 1 



in Top. Bot., ed. 2.—Scirpm paueijhrus Lightf., queried there, 



occurs above Kynance Cove and in Kynance Vale. — Edward S.

Carkx trinervis Degl. in Ireland. — In the summer of 1885 

 (August 12th) I gathered a Can • in the neighbourhood of Rouud- 

 stme, Co. Galway, which I took for a form of C. GoodenoW, but 

 thought at the time a peculiar form. It grew in a damp part of an 

 extensive seaside field, which was in grass, and for the most part 

 was of a sandy character. There was not much of the Caress to be 

 seen, and it was only noticed by me in one spot. I had not at that 

 time seen the English form of C. trinervis, and the specimen in 

 question was laid aside among other remnants of my Irish gatherings 

 till the autumn of 1887, when, looking out Irish plants for a friend,
