ENGLISH BOTANT. 
PHLEUM TENUE. Sch-ad. 
A weed in a bed of onions at Tbirsk, Yorkshire, found by Mr. J. G. 
Baker. 
PSAMMA BALTICA. Eom. & Sdultes. 
Ross Links, north-east of Belford, Northumberland. Mr. William 
Richardson in " Journ. Bot." Jan. 1872, p. 21. I have not seen any 
specimen, but the name is authenticated by Dr. Trimen, who, how- 
ever, judiciously says, " Further examination of the station wiU, 
however, be desirable before we publish a figure and full description 
of A(mmophila) Baltica as a British plant." 
STIPA PENNATA. Linn. 
Said to have been found in Ken (Caen) Wood, Hampstead, London 
(an impossible station) ; Rumbold's Moor, Yorkshire, by Samuel 
Gibson (an unreliable authority). Long Sleadale, about six miles north 
of Kendal, Westmoreland, Dr. Richardson and Mr. Lawson (from a 
garden?). Mr. J. Tathara says in a letter to Mr. H. C. Watson, that 
he has wild specimens gathered in Westmoreland by the late J. Gough, 
of Kendal, " Comp. Cyb. Brit." p. 593. So very conspicuous a grass 
could scarcely be overlooked by modem botanists, so that no doubt 
there has been some error or imposition in saying it occurred mid in 
England. 
AVENA SUBSPICATA. Lmk. 
"In Alpibus AngliiB." Andersson, Gram. Scand. p. C9. Unknown 
as a British plant by the botanists of this country. 
AVEISTA PLANICULMIS. Sdrad. 
Reported from Forfor through mistake of name— A. pratensis 
var. alpina^ bemg so called by Smith; Glen Sannox, on the ascent of 
Ooatfell from Loch Rannock in the Isle of Arran, Mr. Stewart Murrav; 
Ibut Dr. Balfour and others have searched for it there in vain. 
SCLEROCLOA DURA. Pal de Beauv. 
On ballast, Hartlepool, Durham, Prof M. A. Lawson ; but the 
Profes>or has sent to the Botrmicai Exchange Club specimens of 
Lolium perenne, with a contracted spike, collected at Gravesend, 
labelled Sclerocloa dura. Was the Hartlepool plant also Lohum 
perenne ?
