﻿Tlie Flora of Newfoundland. 29"- 



*G. LAXA, Scribner. Whitbourne. 



*G. NERVATA, Trin. Shoals Harbour (156), as if intro- 

 duced. 



*HoLCUS LANATUS, L. Whitbourne ; rare. 



*LoLiUM Italicum, a. Br. Introduced about railway 

 station Clode's Sound ; distributed as L. temulentiim. 



*MuHLENBERGiA GLOMERATA, Trin. Exploits Eiver (196).-. 



Nardus stricta, L. Well established upon rocky banks 

 of Rennie's River (209). Although forming a turf with 

 native grasses and sedges, the specimens were too near 

 the city of St. John's to argue strongly for an indigenous ^ 

 character. The species, however, is native in Greenland, 

 and might not improbably extend down the north-eastern 

 coast of America. We have been able to find only one 

 previous record of the occurrence of this grass in America, . 

 that being by Prof. Edw. Tuckerman, who- reported it as 

 present in his lawn in Massachusetts — doubtless intro- 

 duced in foreign grass-seed. 



Panicum boreale, Nash. (Bull. Torr. Club, xxii. 421.). 

 Exploits River (222) ; distributed as a small-flowered 

 variety of P. commutatum. 



Phleum pratense, L. Cultivated, and often escaping, 

 upon roadsides, St. John's. 



PoA ANNUA, L. St. John's. 



P. COMPRESSA, L. On railway ballast, Placentia Junc-- 

 tion (225) and Whitbourne. 



P. PRATENSis, L. St. John's (219). With this number 

 a small quantity of another species of Poa was inadver- 

 tently distributed. It had larger spikelets and white- 

 margined glumes, and is undoubtedly new to the island.. 

 Unfortunately, the material is too scanty to permit a 

 satisfactory determination.
