Shouldham, W. Norfolk, v.-c. 28, June 24, 1914.— J. E. Little. " Yes 

 (C. cmiescens Druce)." — E. S. Marshall. 



Deyeuxia neglecta Kunth, [Ref. No. 7541.] Near Loch Watton, 

 Caithness, July 1907.— G. 0. Druce. Also from [Ref. No. 71] shady 

 marshland, Shropham Hundreds, Norfolk, v.-c. 28, July 11, 1914. — F. 

 Robinson. Also from [Ref. No. 37] Loch Scarmclett, Caithness, July 

 1907. These are typical plants which are locally plentiful there. — 

 G. C. Druce. 



Deyeuxia neglecta Kunth, var. scotica. [Ref. No. 36.] Loch Wat- 

 ton, Caithness, July 1907. This has more acuminate glumes and is the 

 plant which was recorded as strigosa by Mr Arthur Bennett in Journ. 

 Bot. 1885, p. 253. I went to visit Dick's locality for the plant which 

 was called lapponica in Smiles' Life of Robert Dick, and found only 

 this form growing there. Afterwards I saw it near Loch Scarmclett. 

 It really approaches strigosa in appearance, but does not agree with it 

 in the length of the callus hairs, which are of the length of the floret 

 in strigosa, which has also a broader and laxer panicle. D. strigosa, 

 Prof Hackel thinks, is probably a hybrid of epigeios and neglecta, and 

 he is quite confident in rejecting these as strigosa. It is sufficiently 

 distinct from normal neglecta to warrant a varietal name, var. scotica, 

 characterised as " Panicles larger and more diffuse than type, glumes 

 longer, and more longly acuminate. — G. C. Druce. 



Gastridium ventricosum Sch. & Th. Copyhold, Sussex, September 

 1902. Once again the name must be changed in order to comply with 

 the Actes. The trivial lendigerum dates from Sp. PL, ed. ii., 1762 or 

 1763, but prior to that it was published as Agrostis ventricosa by 

 Gouan, and must stand as G. ventricosum (Gouan) Thellung. — G. C. 

 Druce. 



Apera Spica-venti Beauv. By River Orwell, Freston, v.-c. 25, 

 July 13, 1913.— G. C. Brown. 



Apera interrupta Beauv. [Ref. No. 79.] Oatfield, Tottington, 

 v.-c. 28, July 31, 1914. — F. Robinson. Apera Spica-venti '^QdiW.Y. 

 — J. Cryer and W. G. Travis. " This is A. Spica-venti Beauv., var. 

 purpurea Rouy, distinguished not only by its purplish tint, but by the 

 outer and inner glumes being longer and more acuminate. Compare 

 Mr G. C. Brown's Apera Spica-venti Beauv., from Freston, v.-c. 25, 

 which has paler, shorter glumes (especially the inner), and is the 

 sub-var. viresceiLS Rouy." — C. E. Britton. " Surely this is A. Spica- 

 venti. Panicle large, broad, brownish, not interrupted." — E. S. 

 Marshall. Also from sandy wayside, near Barnack, Northants, v.-c. 

 32, July 5, 1914. — G. Chester. "I am afraid only adventitious in 

 Northants, and of course so in South Lanes." — G. C. Druce. Also
