C.  capillaris  L.  Creag  Mhor,  Mid  Perth,  v.c.  88, 
Aug.  1908. — P.  Ewing. 
Phalaris  paradoxa  L.  Waste-ground,  Uxbridge, 
Middlesex,  v.c.  21,  Aug.  29,  1908. — A.  Loydell.  After 
years  of  great  scarcity  it  is  refreshing  to  see  this  grass 
reappearing,  especially  with  specimens  so  well  grown  and 
preserved. — E.F.L. 
Agrostis  alba  L.,  var.  armata  Celak  (fide  Prof.  Hackel). 
Waste  place  in  garden  at  Ivy  Bank,  Southampton,  S. 
Hants.,  Aug.  1908. — J.  F.  Rayner.  This  is  A.  vulgaris , 
var.  aristata  Tausch,  and  quite  different  from  A.  alba , 
var.  armata  from  the  same  station  sent  in  1906  [to  the 
B.E.  Club,  see  Kept.  1906,  p.  248.]  Compare  the  ligules, 
the  form  of  the  panicle,  the  proportion  of  the  palea  to 
the  fertile  glume  in  both.  As  to  the  right  citation  of  this 
name  I  am  not  quite  sure ;  I  am  not  aware  that  Tausch 
himself  published  his  var.  aristata  (of  which  I  saw  the 
type  specimen  in  Herb.  Prague),  but  it  is  quoted  by 
Stebber  v.  Schroter  (1899).  There  is  also  an  A.  vulgaris , 
var.  aristata  Griset  published  in  Verh.  Naturen.  von 
Presburg.  N.F.  II.  (1874),  which  may  be  the  same.  In 
my  herbarium  I  have  a  British  specimen  from  Mr.  Bennett, 
quite  like  yours,  labelled  in  his  handwriting  A.  vulgaris , 
var.  aristata  Parn.  If  this  is  correct  his  would  be 
perhaps  the  first  published  name.— E.  Hackel.  The 
specimens  sent  by  Mr.  Rayner  this  year  include  both 
the  forms  mentioned  above.  Will  members  kindly  note 
which  they  have  received.- — A.B.J. 
Cynosurus  cristatus  L.  (Small  form).  Dry  place  by 
the  sea,  Brown’s  Bay,  Island  Magee,  Co.  Antrim,  June, 
1905.  This  seems  to  be  a  remarkably  dwarf  form  of  the 
common  Dog’s  tail.  I  suppose  owing  to  situation  and 
season— C.  H.  Waddell.  C.  cristatus,  dwarf  form,  no 
variety _ E.  Hackel. 
Koeleria  gracilis  Pers.,  var.  britannica  Dom.  Stough¬ 
ton  Road,  Leicester,  v.c.  55,  June  1908 — W.  Bell.  I 
believe  this  to  be  sub-sp.  britannica  Dom — E.S.M.  K. 
gracilis  Pers.,  var.  typica  Dom — E.  Hackel. 
K.  cristata  Pers.,  var.  gracilis  (Bor.)  ?  (1)  On  lime¬ 
stone,  Ballynort,  near  Askeaton,  Co.  Limerick,  June  1908. 
— C.  H.  Waddell.  K.  gracilis  Pers.,  var.  typica  Dom.,
