[134. P. pratensis L. is common on both islands, especially round human 

 dwellings; I siippose it was originally introduced. P. oligeria Steud. is a dubious 

 species.] 



Atropis RupR. 



123. A. Proslii Hack. var. hreviculmis Hack. 



Sandy sea-shores, rare. E. F., Port Stanley! SW. of Port Stanley (Birger! 

 probably = the following locality), Port Harriet! — Fuegia, Observatory Island near 

 Staaten I. 



Festiica L. 



51. F. aronaria Lam. 



Not uncommon in sandy places: E. F., Port Stanley! near Cape Pembroke ! 

 Port Harriet! North Arm! W. F., Port North! Roy Cove! Fox Island! Beaver 

 Island, on »floating» soil! New Island! — Fnegia, Staaten 1. 



132. F. erecta d'Urv. 



»Pascuoriim in his insulis praecipua basis > d'Urville expresses himself (p. 

 601). I hardly believe, that his opinion was right even 90 years ago: he did not 

 see very much of the islands, and in the eastern part of East Falkland, where he 

 botanized, there is still much of it, so in the vicinity of Port Stanley. On W. F., 

 I have seen it once, near Port Howard. It grows on dry camp. — Fuegia, South 

 Georgia, Kerguelen. 



118. F. ma^ellanica Lam. (F. ovina L. var. magellanica Hack.) 



Rocky and stony places, mostly near the sea. E. F. (d'Urville, Hooker), 

 Port Louis! W. F. (Vallentin, Nichol ex Wright), Port Philomel, Halfway Cove! 

 Roy Cove! Hill Cove! Mount Adam! Westpoint Island! Beaver Island! New 

 Island! — S. Patagonia, Fuegia, nearly confined tho the steppe. 



[Triodia antarctica Hook. fil. is quoted for the Falklands (Hooker) by Wright, 

 but the latter does not seem to have seen specimens and Hooker makes no sta- 

 tement in Fl. ant. as to its existence in the islands.] 



Agi^opyriini J. G.^rtn. 



111. A. magellaniciim (Desv.) Hack. (Triticum glaucum Lam.? T. repens Ij. 

 quoad plantani magellanicam, Agropyrum n. sp.? Hack. ex. Skottsb. 14, p. 41.) 



Frequent on sandy and stony sea-shores. E. F., Port Louis! Port William 

 (Hooker ex Wright), Port Harriet! Port Darwin! Victoria Creek! North Arm! 

 W, F., Port Philomel, Halfway Cove! Roy Cove (Vallentin), Hill Cove! Shallow 

 Bay (Mrs. Vallentin 80!) Westpoint Island! Vallentin (ap. Melvill) remarks: 

 »Once common, now scarce. Very rare in Roy Cove, W. Falklands, hardly found 

 except in unstocked islands». My list of localities shows, that his statement is wrong, 

 though the plant may of course have been more common still in older times.
