596 86. GRAMINA. 
Festuca (elatior) arundinacea, Schyeber ? 
Provinces 123. §. Devon! Isle of Wight! Kent; Syme! 
Syn. 1346. Cyb. iii. 222 and 519. A large state of F. elatior? 
Festuca (pratensis) loliacea, Huds. 
Provinces 1 to 15. Devon to Perth! 18 Orkney; Neill Tour. 
Syn. 1847. Cyb. iii. 223. I can still see in this nothing but 
pratensis with the panicle reduced to a raceme or “ spicate raceme.” 
Impossible as it is to confound together the two extreme segregates, 
arundinacea and loliacea, yet they appear to be only states of the 
intermediate elatior and pratensis; two species which botanists 
cannot always distinguish with certainty, and the names of which 
appear to have been frequently misapplied or interchanged. 
Bromus rigidus, Roth. 
Province - 15. Fifeshire; Graham excurs. 
Casual. yb. iii. 232.—(B. maximus, Desf. casual in Surrey.) 
Bromus tectorum, Linn. 
Provinces - 23-5. [15. Forfar; G. Don.] 
Casual. Cyb. iii. 232. Introduced among corn and flax seeds, 
also perhaps with other merchandize or ballast. 
Bromus (asper) serotinus, “ Beneken.” 
Provinces - 8-10-15. Derby. York. Fife. 
Syn. 1349. Exchange Club report, 1867. 
Bromus (secalinus) velutinus, Smith. 
Provinces - 23. Sussex! Surrey; Syme! Midkx. flo. 
Syn. 1854. Cyb. ili. 229. Several mis-records omitted. 
Bromus (commutatus) racemosus, Anglor. 
Provinces 1 to 16. By the name, as it is loosely applied in books. 
Syn. 1355. Cyb. 11. 231. Two grasses haye been thus labelled 
by collectors. Usually racemosus is simply a synonym, intending 
commutatus ; the plants so designated being one same species. 
The name racemosus has been also given instead to a non- 
pubescent state of mollis. I do not know that there is any other 
racemosus in England, except as a mere set of words in books, 
which are only supposed to represent something different in living 
nature. 
Bromus arvensis, Linn. 
Provinces 1234---8-1011---15. Excluding commutatus. 
Casual. Cyb. iii. 232. Of Jate years this has been met with by 
collectors more often than formerly; being sown among imported 
lucerne or clover seeds. But formerly specimens of commutatus 
were frequently mis-labelled as arvensis, while this latter was a 
grass known to few. 
Bromus patulus, Mert. & Koch. 
Provinces--3-5----10. Surrey. Gloucester. York? 
Casual, Cyb. iil. 282. Among us, confused with arvensis 2
