Var. F. trachyphylia, Hack. Mon. Fest. p. 91. 
This well-marked plant occurs on wall-tops and dry banks in districts 
on the great oolite, as at Bretch, in Swere district, Brize Norton, Burford, 
etc., in Isis. Its rigid narrow leaves, with scabrid lamina, and scaberulous 
culms, well distinguish it. Gramen incog. spica sparti foliis reflexis glaucis 
striatis radice fungosa of Dillenius from Brean Down is probably the same 
thing, as is the Gramen foliolis junceis oblongis radice alba of the synopsis 
from Wootton Heath, Berks. It occurs also in Gloster and Wilts.
