of Drumochter (Drum Uachdar ?) as to those seen in Glen Fiadh, 
Forfarshire; the latter being called alpina, so should be the 
former ; all of them wide away from planiculmis. 
Avena planiculmis, Schrader. 
Provinces - 15 16. Forfar, by misnomer. Arran, by error? 
Error. Cyb. iii. 186. The garden plant, which I received under 
this name from W. Borrer, has a tufty and spreading root, cer- 
tainly not a “widely creeping root.” As remarked above, it is 
quite unlike the Linnean pratensis or Smithian alpina. 
Avena subspicata, Link. Trisetum subspicatum. 
Provinces...? ‘In Alpibus Anglis. Anders. 69.” 
Ambiguity. ‘Should be looked for. I cannot obtain information 
from Sweden”; Bab. man. ed. 4 to 6. An error?

Poa sudetica, Haenke. 
Prov. -- 8-5. Kewgrounds; Dr.Hooker! Warwick; Mr. Kirk! 
Casual. Introduced with foreign hay or seeds? It is somewhere 
recommended to agriculturists, and perhaps is occasionally sown by 
them. 
Poa (pratensis) subcerulea, Smith. 
Provinces - - - - - - 7--10-12--15. Elsewhere also? 
Syn. 1831. Some other states or varieties of Poa pratensis appear 
in our books, under distinctive names; but I have not collected 
notes about their localities apart from those of the type. 
Poa (nemoralis) Parnellii, Bab. man. 
Provinces - 1011. York; Baker! Durham; Hort.! Gibson!

Provinces - - - - - - 7--1011---1516. Carn, to Westerness. 
Syn. 1834%. Cyb. iii. 207. Journal of Botany, iii.157. I received 
living plants labelled “‘ Balfourii” and ‘“ Parneilit” from Mr. 
Borrer’s garden for cultivation. The former, very glaucous, was 
soon lost; while the latter, rather green than glaucous, established 
itself in a weed-like manner, as much at home in the Surrey 
garden as the Poa nemoralis might become. 
Poa (glauca) cesia, Smith. 
Provinces - 1516. Perth. Forfar. Aberdeen. Argyle. 
Syn. 1384*, Cyb. iii. 208. “ Poa glauca, Sm.” has varied appli-
