Festuca  rubra ,  L.,  var.  vulgaris,  Hack.  Sandy  shore, 
Skegness,  N.  Lines.,  v.c.  54,  June  13,  1905. — A.  R.  Horwood. 
Fide  Prof.  Hackel.  If  Prof.  Hackel  has  named  this  there 
is  no  need  of  further  comment.  The  specimen  sent  me 
seems  correct. — E.F.L. 
F.  arenaria  (Osbeck).  Sand-hills,  Skegness,  N.  Lines., 
v.c.  54,  June  13,  1905.  Coll.  A.  R.  Horwood.  Comm. 
H.  P.  Reader.  Naming  confirmed  by  Prof.  Hackel.  This 
should  have  been  collected  so  as  to  shew  the  root- 
character,  which  is  important. — B.S.M.  Festuca  rubra, 
L.,  var.  arenaria  (Osbeck)  of  our  Catalogue. — E.F.L. 
F.  elatior  x  Lolium  perenne.  Aylestone,  Leics.,  v.c. 
55,  July  1,  1905. — A.  R.  Horwood.  I  see  little  sign  of 
Lolium  here,  and  think  it  is  pseudo -loliacea,  Hackel,  a 
subsimple  form. — E.F.L.  Does  not  look  like  the  hybrid, 
and  seems  nearest  F.  pratensis,  Huds. — C.E.S. 
Bromus  madritensis ,  L.  Planta  rarissima  in  pascuis 
calcariis  prope  Bristolium  habitat,  v.c.  VI.,  Julii  xiv., 
1903. — J.  W.  White.  Very  fine  specimens. — E.F.L. 
B.  racemosus,  L.  Hallen,  W.  Glos.,  v.c.  34,  June  9, 
1905. — J.  W.  White.  Sides  of  the  lower  pale  seem 
angular,  so  this  should  be  (by  Syme)  B.  commutatus ; 
strangely  enough  the  pale-characters  of  B.  commutatus 
and  B.  racemosus  in  Babington’s  Manual  are  exactly  the 
opposite  of  those  in  Syme’s  Eng.  Bot. !  Continental 
authorities  agree  with  Syme’s  diagnosis. — C.E.S. 
Agropyron  pungens,  R.  &  S.  Brading  Marshes,  I.  W., 
v.c.  10,  Aug.  2,  1905.  Coll.  Miss  C.  Bickham.  Comm. 
S.  H.  Bickham.  Right. — E.F.L. 
Hordeum  marinum,  Huds.  Kelling,  E.  Norfolk,  v.c. 
27,  June  13,  1905. — C.  B.  Headly.  H.  murinum,  L. — 
E.F.L. 
Athyrium  alpestre,  Milde.  Ben  Lawers,  Mid.  Perth, 
v.c.  88,  July,  1905. — E.  Cleminshaw.  I  don’t  profess  to 
know  Ferns  well ;  but  the  habit  is  that  of  a  Lastrcea, 
rather  than  that  of  A.  alpestre . — E.S.M.  Certainly  not  : 
I  think  Lastrcea  dilatata ,  Presl,  which  I  have  from  Ben 
Lawers. — E.F.L.
