tember 2, 1875.” — Tom Drummond. This is, E believe, the first un- 
doubted native station recorded for this plant. Mr. Drummond has 
found it also in Glen of Sorrow, about three miles above Dollar, Clack- 
mannanshire. — J. T. Boswell. 
Bromus mollis, Linn., var. Lloydianus, Mullion, Helston, W. 
Cornwall, July, 1875.” — J. Cunnack. Certainly the plant intended 
by that name in E. B., cd. 3. — J. T. Boswell. 
Bromus mollis , Linn. ; coast form. “ By Bigbury Bay, S. Devon, 
May 17, 1875.” — T. R. A. B. This seems to me a form allied to 
B. Lloydianus. More glabrous than usual, and with the panicle 
rather less compact, though much more so than in ordinary B. mollis. 
The awns are recurved when dry, but less so than in B. Lloydianus , 
but more so than in B. hordeaceus , Fries, which it approaches. — 
J. T. Boswell. 
Triticum acutum, DC. “ Sandy bank of the river Dee, near 
Heswell Point, Hundred of Wirrall, Cheshire, September 25, 1875, 
Few to Cheshire.” — Robert Brown. 
Triticum “ acutum , DC.” “ Littlehampton, West Sussex.” — J. 
L. Warren. This is T. punyens, var. a. genuinum, E. B., ed. 3. — 
J. T. Boswell. 
Lolium perenne , Linn. “Seashore, Bognor, Sussex.” — H. E. 
Fox. A few specimens of a plant with spikes slightly branched. 
Equisetum hyemale, Linn. “ Linmill, Clackmannan, August, 
1875.” — -T. Drummond. New to v.c. 87. 
Chara hispida, Linn., var. polyacantha, A. Br. “ Very abundant 
in a small lake near Thirsk, N. lArkshire. New to Yorkshire. From 
the copiousness of the spines on some parts of the stem the specific 
characters are difficult to determine ; but where the stem is less 
covered the spiral arrangement of the furrows and the position of the 
spines on the tubes are better seen. December 23, 1875.” — Fred. 
Addison. 
Chara frag ills, Desv. “ Pool on Lizard Downs, W. Cornwall, 
July, 1873. I sent specimens of this to Professor Babington, who 
kindly examined them for me, and said that he considered them ‘ C. 
fragilis; very fine and slender. ’ ” — W. H. Beeby.
