Koeleria vallesiana from Uphill and Purn Hill, 1931. — 
H. S. T. Excellent specimens ; agrees well with the Swiss 
material sent by Dr. Walo Koch. — E. Drabble. 
Boa Balfourii Earn. Ben Creachain and Ben Dothaiclh, 
Argyle, May 26, 1893, Aug. 2, 1898. — W. A. Shoolbred. 
Comm. Nat. Mus. of Wales. 
Glyceria distans Wahlb. Salt Marsh, Littlehampton, West 
Sussex, Aug. 3, 1931. Of interest in view of Mr. Salmon’s 
paper in Journ. Bot. 1929, 243. — E. C. Wallace. Correct. — 
W. 0. Howarth. Correct, with its spreading and declining 
main branches of the panicle. — J. Eraser. 
Glyceria distans (L.) Wahl. Bank of R. Rhymney, Cardiff, 
Glamorgan, Sept. 6, 1931. — A. E. Wade. Good examples of 
this grass, poorly described in many floras. The ligule is 
usually given as ‘ short and truncate ’ ; it is short but often 
2mm. in length, tapering to a rounded apex having a sub- 
acute and apiculate point. In older leaves the ligule becomes 
lacerate and truncate at the summit. The spikelets are ciliate 
at the base, with the outer pale slightly longer than the 
inner, oblong-oval, ciliate at the back and strongly denticulate 
at the apex with the dorsal vein slightly excurrent. The 
inner pale also is denticulate but the mid- vein not excurrent. 
— W. H. Pearsall. Correct. — W. 0. Howarth. 
Festuca Myuros L. and F. bromoides L. for comparison. 
About railway siding, Portishead, N. Somerset, June 25, 1931. 
— H. S. Thompson. Correct. — W. 0. Howarth. 
Festuca capillata Lam. Sandy soil, Mitcham Common, 
Surrey. [C 20]. June 27, 1931. — J. E. Lousley. Correct. — 
W. 0. Howarth. Yes. — J. Fraser. 
Festuca rubra, ? var. pruinosa (Hack.) Howarth. [2699], 
On and at foot of low Lias Cliffs, South of Battery Point, 
Portishead, N. Somerset, June 25, 1931. Very variable. 
This seems to agree with what Mr. Howarth named pruinosa 
from Weston-s-Mare, 1924 (H. S. T.), Report, W.B.E.C., 
p. 319 ; but to me they both appear nearer a form of F. 
ovina ! — H. S. Thompson. Correct. — W. 0. Howarth. The 
awns are too short for F. ovina, and the specimens have the 
short stolons of F. rubra. — J. Fraser.
