REPORT FOR 1914. 



175 



Bromus erectus Huds., var, glabrifolius Borbas. Railway side, 

 Seascale, v.-c. 70, June 5, 1914. I am not sure that the varietal 

 name is correctly applied to these plants. — D. Lumb. " Yes." — G. C. 

 Druce. 



Bromus unioloides H. B. K. Waste ground, Hythe Quay, 

 Colchester, v.-c. 19, June 2, 1913.— G. C. Brown. "Yes."— G. C. 

 Druce. 



Bromus secalinus Jj., va,r. hirtus A. (k G. Ivor, Bucks, July 1903. 

 — G. C. Druce. 



Bromus sp. Mud wall top, Wigginton village, Oxon, June 23, 

 1914. Closely related to B. racemosus, but the compact panicle 

 apparently separates it from that species. — H. J. Riddelsdell " A 

 curious, capitate form of B. hordeaceus L. ; less hairy than the type, 

 thus approaching var. leptostachys (glabratus).^^ — E. S. Marshall. 

 hordeaceus L., forma congestus.'' — G. C. Druce. 



Bromus arvensis L. In sainfoin, Pur well, Hitchin, Herts, v.-c. 20, 

 July 16, 1914. In the early state the palea is about 5 mm. shorter 

 than the flowering glume. Later, in fruit, it equals or slightly exceeds 

 it. — J. E. Little. Also [Ref. No. 89] from farm roadway, Holme 

 Hall, v.-c. 28, August 27, 1914. — F. Robinson. "Yes; Rouy puts it 

 in the genus Serra/alcus, which also contains secalinus, commutatus, 

 racemosus, hordeaceus (mollis) and my Bromus interruptus = Serror- 

 falcus interruptus mihi = S. pseudo-velutinus Groves." — G. C. Druce. 



Agropyron 2^u7igens R. & S. Shoreham, Sussex, June 1891. — 

 G. C. Druce. 



Agropyron pungens R. & S., forma cristatum. Teste Hackel. [Ref. 

 No. 50]. Albecqand Vazon Bay, Guernsey, August 16, 1912. This 

 form occurs in some quantity on the shingle inside the sea wall 

 between Albecq and Yazon Bay. The plants seem to bear the same 

 relation to the type as Lolium peratne, var. cristatum Doell, to type. 

 Of this I sent some specimens last year, and have since noted some 

 normal plants of Lolium perenne developing this cristatum form of 

 spike, apparently as a result of damage through being trodden upon. 

 However, these Guernsey plants are not in any sense damaged, though 

 they very probably are starved. The type was plentiful thirty yards 

 further inland. — W. C. Barton. "Yes, Prof. Hackel so named 

 similar specimens which I collected in the same locality in 1906." — 

 G. C. Druce. 



Agropyron junceum x repens Beauv. Keyhaven, S. Hants, v.-c. 

 11, August 1914. — J. Comber. "Not in the least like any of my
