Bromus liordeaceus, L., var. d. nanus, Weig. Exposed coast, 

 Lancresse Common, Guernsey, Aug. 14, 1912. — W. C. Barton. 

 "Merely a starved state of the glabrous plant, var. leptostachys = 

 glahratusr — E. S. Marshall. hordeaceus, L., var. leptostachys^

 — E. Hackel. 



Lolium temulentum, L. Amongst oats, Askham, v.-c. 69, Aug. 2, 

 1912. Mr Hodgson, in his Flora of Cumberland, has a very interesting 

 paragraph concerning the association of Lolium temulentum and 

 Raphanus sativus. It seems very strange that after forty-two years, 

 and in practically the same corner of the country, the same unusual 

 plants should be growing together. The Raphanus was the lilac- 

 coloured form ; most of that growing in the adjoining gardens was 

 nearly, if not quite, white. Among the same oats were growing 

 Hordeum hexastichum, H. distichum, H. jubatum, Secale cereale, 

 Triticum vulgare, var. barbatum, T. vulgar e (with densely hairy 

 spikelets), Lolium arvense, one plant of Folypogon monspeliensis, 

 Avefia fatua, 'd,nd A. sterilis. — D. Lumb. "Yes."— G. C. Druce and 

 E. Hackel. " Yes ; var. macrochaeton, A. Br." — J. A. Wheldon. 



Lolium temulentum, L., var. arvense, With. Growing with the 

 type among oats, etc. Askham, v.-c. 69, Aug. 2, 1912. — D. 

 Lumb. " I suppose so, altliough with rather more numerous flowers 

 in the spikelets, and sterile basal shoots. It is in good fruit, or these 

 latter might suggest intercrossing." — J. A. Wheldon. "Yes; but 

 Withering described 'it as a species." — G. C. Druce. "Correct." — 

 E. Hackel. 



Lolium mid tiflorum, Lam. Waste ground, Askham, v.-c. 69, Oct. 1, 

 1912. Is this type'? The young leav^es, for some time after emerging 

 from the sheaths, seem to be convolute, one edge being free. Ltalicum 

 is frequently so too. — D. Lumb. " Rooting at nodes and looks as 

 though perennial. Is it not a state of L. italicum, although so untypical 

 looking 1 " — J. A. Wheldon. " Correct." — E. Hackel. 



Agropyron C?). [Ref. No. 126.] Inveresk, July 8, 1911. — 



McT. CowAN, jun. " A. pungens, R. and S."— E. Hackel.

 abundance at the mouth of the small river Kerr, Carnforth, v.-c. 60,
