branched and A. odoratum not at all, continental specimens, 

 occur agreeing generally with the latter but distinctly 

 branched. The length of its awns also must not be lightly 

 used as a guide, as long-awned A. odoratum is not uncommon 

 in England in poor sandy ground. Mr. E. S. Salmon has. 

 pointed out to me that the split barren pale sometimes- 

 ascribed to A. Puellii (as in Trimen's fig. Journ. Bot. 1875, 

 t. 157) does not naturally occur in either species. Both have, 

 however, a hyaline line beneath the awn from the point of its 

 insertion to the apex of the pale and due presumably to the 

 pressure of the awn during development. The pale usually 

 splits along this line if handled. The present specimens are 

 correctly named. — S. T. Dunn. 



Alopecimis By Trent, Armitage, Staffs., June, 



1900. — H. P. Reader. Apparently geniailaUts, but glumes, 

 unusually in.) long. — E.S. and G.E.S. Seems to be a form 

 of A. crenicnlatiis with glumes very like those of A. hulbosus. 

 — E. F. Linton. This is tlie plant referred to as Alopecurus- 

 hybridiis, Wimmer {A. pratensi-geniculatus, Wichura), by 

 Mr. A. B. Jackson in Journ. Bot. 1901, p. 234. 



Agrosiis vulgaris, With., var. pumila, L. (1) Sandy 

 common, near Lake Bodorgan, Anglesey, v.c. 52, June 30, 

 1900. (2) Dry moorland pastures above Colwyn Bay,. 

 Denbighshire, v.c. 50, July, 1900. — C. Waterfall. As has been 

 pointed out before. A. pumila Linn, is nothing more than 

 A. vulgaris dwarfed by the Stinking Smut [Tilletia separata, 

 Kunze). — E.S. and C.E.S. 



Aira caryophyllea, L. var. multicaulis, Dum. (1) Dry 

 banks on moorland roads, above Colwyn Bay, Denbighshire, 

 v.c. 50, July, 1900.— C. Waterfall. (2) Dry ditch, Great 

 Malvern Common, Worcestershire, v.c. 37, July, 1898. — C. 

 Waterfall. (3) Sandy field, near Sandown, Isle of Wight, 

 June, 1900. — A. B. Jackson. (4) St. Aubins, Jersey, June 8, 

 1897. — J. W. White. The specimens well match a gathering 

 so named by Hackel and distributed to members last year. — 

 E.S. and C.E.S. 



Deschampsia discolor, R. and S. Waste ground, Lind- 

 nolme, Hatfield Chase, near Thorne, W. Yorks., v.c. 63, July, 

 1899.— C. Waterfall. No; D. flexuosa, Trin.— E.S. and 

 C.E.S. 



Poa hulhosa, L. South Denes, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, 

 May 30, 1895. Coll. G. H. Harris. The locality for this on 

 the South Denes at Yarmouth is fast getting spoiled ; it does, 

 not flower every year. — H. D. Geldart.
