Bromus commutatus Schrad. ? Border of new road, Street, 
Somerset, July 13, 1930. Though the panicles are mostly 
simple, some have two spikelets, and the one that has three 
spikelets has also three stems from the same lowest node. 
— H. S. Thompson. Yes ; the form with hairy spikelets, 
which is, I imagine, the variety pubescens Watson. — I. A. 
Williams. 
Bromus britannicus I. A. Williams. Origin near Lyming- 
ton, Hants, 1929. Sown 18-8-29. Taken 24-6-30. Hort, 
Parkstone, Dorset. Grown in sandy peat. These plants 
retained all the characters of the species under varied 
conditions of soil and lighting. The only result of better 
conditions was the production of much larger and more 
branched panicles. — L. B. Hall. See Journ. Bot., 1931, 
p. 57. — E. C. Wallace. 
Brachypodium pinnatum Beauv. var. pubescens Gray. 
Hackhurst Downs, Surrey, July 27, 1930. These specimens 
are not very extreme, but I think they justify the name 
given.- — E. C. Wallace. Yes, with unusually short spikelets. 
— E. Drabble. Correct, but not extreme. — J. Fraser. Yes, 
and much better examples than many distributed under 
this name. All the spikelets are pubescent, and not a few 
only as is sometimes the case ; both the outer and inner 
pales are markedly so, especialty on the margins. The awns 
vary in length, even in the same spikelet, but are always 
shorter than their pales and strongly pubescent. — W. H. 
Pearsall. Are the spikelets sufficiently pubescent for the 
var. ? The plant is variable, and even in the same patch 
one can find degrees of pubescence, and spikelets straight 
like the type or curved like the form corniculatum. The var. 
pubescens from Malvern, A. J. Crosfield (Report 1912, 416), 
passed by Bennett and Salmon, has much more pubescent 
spikelets. — J. E. Little. 
Agropyron junceum Beauv. St. Helen’s Spit, Isle of Wight, 
June 21, 1930. [Ref. B 11], — J. E. Lousley. Correct. — J. 
Fraser. 
Lastrea aemula Brackenridge. Woodabay, N. Devon, July 
17, 1930. — H. W. Pugsley. 
Phegopteris Robertiana Braun. Goblin Combe, N. Somerset, 
Aug. 6, 1930. — H. S. Thompson.
