Anthoxanthunt-Airistatum  Boiss.  West  Wood,  near 
Hitchin,  Herts.,  v.c.  20,  June  5,  1915.— H.  C.  Littlebun  . 
Correctly  named. — C.E.S. 
Mibora  verna  Beauv.  Maelog  Sands,  Anglesey,  v.c.  52, 
March  1915. — J.  E.  Griffith. 
Agrostis  alba  L.,  var.  maritima  Meyer.  (Ref.  No.  145). 
On  shore  track,  Harlech,  Merionethsh.,  v.c.  48,  Aug.  11, 
1915.  W.  C.  Barton.  All  the  panicles  on  my  sheet  are  far 
too  dry  and  “  gone  to  hay  ”  to  examine  with  any  degree  of 
satisfaction. — C.E.S. 
Ammophila  baltica  Link.  Sand  dunes  north  of  Yar¬ 
mouth,  E.  Norfolk,  v.c.  27,  June  26,  1915.  The  last 
edition  of  the  “  Lond.  Cat.”  treats  Ammophila  baltica  as 
an  undoubted  hybrid  of  A.  arenaria ;  and  as  such  a 
hybrid  is  included  in  the  Chib’s  List  of  Desiderata  these 
specimens  are  contributed.  The  status  of  A.  baltica  was 
presumably  determined  in  Northern  Europe,  where 
possibly  it  occurs  in  company  with  both  its  reputed 
parents.  In  this  country,  however,  on  the  coast  of 
Norfolk  at  least,  Mr.  C.  E.  Salmon  and  I  have,  during  the 
past  summer,  carefully  noted  the  range  and  associations 
of  A.  baltica ,  without  perceiving  anything  suggestive  of 
a  hybrid  origin,  and  we  did  not  meet  with  a  single  plant 
of  Calamagrostis  epige'ios  whilst  botanising  in  the  countv.

Koeleria  vallesiana  Ascii.  &  Graebn.  Limestone  rocks 
near  Bleadon,  N.  Somerset,  v.c.  6,  July  5,  1915.  ( See  “  Jl. 
Bot.,”  1905,  p.  818). — H.  S.  Thompson. 
Catabrosa  aquatica  Beauv.,  var.  (Ref.  No.  4152). 
Wet  sands,  Dunnet  Bay,  Caithness,  v.c.  109,  Aug.  3,  1915. 
It  seems  to  come  under  var.  subtilis  Hooker  “  Engl.  PL,”  ed. 
4,  p.  86  (1838)  [var.  littoralis  Parnell  (1842) ;  var.  minor 
Bab.  (1843)] .  Mr.  F.  J.  Hanbury  and  I  gathered  it 
hereabouts  in  1886,  but  much  stronger;  Prof.  Hackel  then 
named  it  “  forma  grandi flora ,”  but  it  is  more  than  a  form. 
Prof.  Babington  identified  it  as  his  var.  minor.  Perhaps 
owing  to  the  long  drought,  this  year,  it  was  remarkably 
small,  and  appeared  to  be  annual ;  as  a  rule,  several  plants 
grew  matted  together;  prostrate. — Edward  S.  Marshall. 
I  believe  this  to  be  var.  uniflora  Gray  (Nat.  arr.  II.,  133,
