REPORT FOR 1913. 



511 



Poa trivialis L. [Ref. No. 7918.] Woodland form. New 

 Bridge, Berks. Prof. Hackel puts it under the type. The plants 

 grew three to four feet high. M. Rouy gives a var. effusa with very 

 large panicles. — G. C. Druce. 



Poa nemoralis L., var. caesia Gaud. ? [Ref. No. 3821.] Plentiful 

 on cliffs above Fortingal, v.-c. 88, Mid Perth, at 1,000 to 1,200 feet, 

 July 9, 1913 ; intensely glaucous. Mr Arthur Bennett writes: — "I 

 do not know Gaudin's plant, but, judging by description, I should 

 think your specimens must be very near it." — E. S. Marshall. " This 

 seems to agree with Ascherson and Graebner's description of var. 

 glauca Gaud. ( = var. caesia Mert. and Koch) rather than var. 

 glaucantha Reichb. The latter should have, apparently, 5-6 flowered 

 spikelets, not tinged with violet. In these examples the spikelets 

 (violet-tinged here and there) are two, or, at most, three-flowered." — 

 C. E. Salmon. " P. nemoralis var. vulgaris Gaud., forma spiculis 

 majoribus. In the dried specimens nothing is to be seen of the 

 ' intensely glaucous ' colour. The plant sent as P. nemoralis f. 

 glaucantha by Mr Shoolbred is the same thing." — E. Hackel. 



Poa nemoralis, var. coarctata Gaud. Walls, Grey Abbey, Co. Down, 

 July 17, 1913. — C. H. Waddell. "The inflorescence is spreading, 

 not contracted, except in one weak specimen on my sheet. Type, I 

 think." — E. S. Marshall. " P. nemoralis L., var. vulgaris Gaud." — E. 

 Hackel. 



Poa nemoralis L , 1 var. subnniflora Reichb. The Billings, Dalton, 

 v.-c. 69, June 24, 1913. — D. Lumb. "This looks to me like starved 

 type nemoralis. I understand var. suhunijlora Reichb. ( = unifiora 

 M. and K.) should have only about six spikelets (which sliould be 

 one-flowered) to the panicle. Mr Lumb's plants show neither of these 

 features" — C. E. Salmon. "Yes, var. suhunijlora Reichb.'^ — G. C. 

 Druce and E. Hackel. 



Poa compressa L., var. Langeana Koch == P. suhcompressa Parn. 

 Top of wall, Cambridge, July 19, 1913. — R. S. Adamson. "I do not 

 know Parnell's suhcompressa, but these specimens do not agree with 

 Koch's description of his var. Langeana nor Ascherson and Graebner's 

 view of the same. These authors indicate a much larger and coarser 

 plant, 2 feet high, with leaves 5 mm. broad, spikelets 8-11 flowered, 

 (fee " — C. E. Salmon. " Poa compressa L., var. typica Aschers. and 

 Graeb." — E. Hackel. 



Glyceria '? [Ref. No. 55.] Sandy coast. Dog's Bay, Gal way 



W., Aug. 13, 1913. — W. C. Barton. Poa pratensis L., var. suh- 

 coerulea (Sm.), I believe. A frequent plant of sandy shores." — C. E. 

 Salmon. " Is not this a small P. pratensis var. suhcoerulea Sm., forma
