[Eriacline malouinensis Steud, a grass wholly imknown to me, is quoted by 

 Macloskie in Fl. patag. viii, p. 197. Apparently it was described on Falkland 

 plants, but is most likely identical with some other grass, as is the case witli other 

 Falkland grasses described by Steudel.) 



Aira L. 



100. A. antarctioa HoOK. (Airidium elegantulum Steud.) 



On moist sand or clay, on the sea-shore or by the edge of fresh water lagoons; 

 also in damp places in the meadows; apparently local and onl}" found by Hooker 

 before. E. F., Port Harriet! Lafonia, North Arm! Victoria Creek! iVrrow Har- 

 bour! — S. Patagonia to Cape Horn, South Georgia, Crozet I., Kerguelen and Heard 

 I., South Shetland I., west coast of Graham Land.

Only seen once: stony slope near the sea on New Island! — Fuegia. 



[Äim prcecox L. and caryo-phyllea L. have been introduced, and the former lias 

 spread rapidly, sometimes occurring abundantly in the meadow and heatli: E. F. 

 Port Stanley! Arrow Harbour! W. F., Halfway Cove!] 



Deseliainpsia Beauv. 



124. D. flexuosa (L.) Trin. 



Widely spread över the islands. E. F.: Port Stanley! Port Louis! Port 

 Harriet! W. F.: King George Bay, Roy Cove! Port Philomel, Halfway Cove! West- 

 point Island! Mostly on dry places in the heath, sometimes growing in great pro- 

 fusion. — N, temp. zone, Patagonia, Fuegia. 



[i). Martini Phil. is, I suppose erroneously, quoted for the Falklands by Ma- 

 closkie (Fl. patag. p. 202).] 



Trisetiiin Pers. 



69. T. .subspicatum (L.) PB. var. phleoides (d'Urv.) Hack. (Avena phleoides 

 d'Urv.) 



D'Urville states, that this grass is »in arenosis satis frequens», Hooker calls 

 it most abundant. Nowadays it is not so very common, I found it chiefly near the 

 shore. E. F.: Port Stanley! Darwin Harbour and Arrow Harbour in meadows! 

 W. F.: Port Howard ! Port Philomel, Halfway Cove! Hill Cove! Westpoint Is- 

 land! — S. Patagonia to Cape Horn, Tasmania, New Zealand and island S. of it.

929. C. pilosa (d'Urv.) Hack. (Arundo pilosa d'Urv.) 



The most important grass of the meadow on both islands. — Patagonia, Fuegia, 

 in the rainy region, but as far as I know not in the dry steppes.
