Correct. — W. 0. Howarth. Yes ; the common British form 
of this species in cornfields and stackyards. — J. Fraser. 
Bromus pratensis Ehrh. ( B. commutatus Schrad.). Meadows 
near Egham, Surrey, v.c. 17, June 14 and 28, 1931. Ehrhart’s 
name is the oldest for this grass. The second date of collecting 
was rather too late for the spikelets to remain intact, though 
they are all the better for examination. — J. Fraser. Correct. 
— W. 0. Howarth. 
Bromus pratensis Ehrh. (B. commutatus Schrad.). In a 
sainfoin field, near Headley, Surrey, Sept. 26, 1931. — I. A. 
Williams. A secondary autumnal growth. This form of 
arable land, with usually large spikelets, looks rather different 
from the form which grows, for example, in Chertsey Mead, of 
which I distributed specimens in 1929. — I. A. W. I think it is 
B. pratensis Ehrh., but it is very abnormal. Gathered so 
late as Sept. 26, the secondary growths of spikelets were 
soft and got unduly spread out in drying. The stalks of the 
branches are too short, with other anomalies. I have a cut 
back plant that produced 15-20 stems, and was gathered on 
July 5. The spikelets are quite normal like those gathered 
in meadows in the Thames valley, by the middle of June. — 
J. Fraser. Yes ; this appears to be a secondary autumnal 
growth on arable land. I feel that these Bromes need very 
careful revision. — W. 0. Howarth. 
Bromus molliformis Lloyd. By the path to the Lighthouse, 
South Stack, Holyhead, Anglesey, June 11, 1931. [C 202 ]. — 
J. E. Lousley. Correct. — W. O. Howarth. Correct ; Coste 
says the stems are glabrous. None of my specimens on this 
occasion have them so, but one collected in Cornwall in 1929 
is wholly glabrous except some of the lowest leaves. — J. Fraser. 
Agropyron repens Beauv. var. lasiorachis Hackel. Fyfield, 
S. Essex, July 27, 1930. [C 36]. — J. E. Lousley. Correct. — 
W. O. Howarth. The spikes are denser than others from 
Jersey, otherwise they are the same. — J. Fraser. 
Lastrea Thelypteris Bory. Tall form, up to 3 feet 9 inches ! 
with (mostly) narrow fronds ; growing in water beneath 
bushy border of a peat drove. Shapwick Peatmoor, Somerset, 
Sept. 7, 1931. The longest specimen collected and sent to the 
Club was 23 inches to first pinna and the frond 22 inches, 
total 3 feet 9 inches. — H. S. Thompson. A sheet from Glamor- 
gan has the frond nearly twice as wide. — J. Fraser. Many 
examples growing on the Turfmoor last year had fronds more 
than twice as wide as the narrowest of these. — H, S. T,
