reo-ret this error, due to a misunderstanding and my gross 
negligence. — H. S. T. It is Festuca pratensis x Lolium 
perenne. — J. Fraser. 
Bromus interruptus Druce. [Ref. D 3]. Near Headley, 
Surrey, June 4 and July 2, 1932.— J. E. Lousley. Right.—

Agropyron repens Beauv. Creeping underground stems of 
Couch Grass. Garden, Clifton, W. Glos., Aug. 18, 1932. 
H. S. Thompson. 
Agropyron pungens R. et. S. (and two of var. aristatum 
Hack.). Avon bank, Rownham Ferry, N. Somerset, Sept. 11, 
1932. — H. S. Thompson. I admit “A. pungens R. and S.” 
as correct : but what is A . 'pungens ? Ascherson and Graebner 
give T. repens X junceum ( T . pungens), and following them 
the above grass would come under that name, and more 
strictly in the section T . acutum , which = T . acutum DC. I 
should place 2242 d. “ A. pungens R, and S. var. aristatum 
Hack.” under T. repens, eu repens, glaucescens Engler, or 
possibly T. repens, eu-repens dumetorum Doll. — W. 0. 
Howarth. 
Agropyron repens X pungens ? [2676], Waste ground, 
near Rownham Ferry, N. Somerset, Sept. 11, 1932. The 
leaves seem too broad for true pungens. — H. S. Thompson. 
Similarly L.C. 2240 X, “A. repens X pungens ” I regard 
T. repens eu-repens, var. aristatum Doll, sub-var. subulatum 
(Schreb.) Asch. and Graebn. — W. O. Howarth. 
Hordeum europaeum All. Hedgerow in lane near Ranmore 
Common, Surrey, July 19, 1932. — E. C. Wallace. Yes. — 
E. Drabble. 
Polypodium vulgare L. var. Garden of the late R. V. 
Sherring, Hallatrow, near Bristol, Feb. 27, 1932, after severe 
frost. He once said the origin was “ Scotland, collected by 
Fraser.” Is it a large and extreme form of var. cambricum ? 
— H. S. Thompson. Messrs. Drabble and Wilmott say var. 
cambricum Lightfoot. Mr. Pugsley says var. cambricum 
Willd. Mr. J. Fraser's note is more likely to fit the case : — 
This is the Irish Polypody ( P . vulgare L. var. semilacerum) , 
first found in Ireland, but elsewhere by several people. It 
was cultivated in Scotland 1860-1878 or longer. Bipinnatifid 
below, fertile in the upper half. — J. Fraser. 
Equisetum palustre L. var. polystachyum Weigel. Swamp 
by the Wey at Shalford, Surrey, Aug. 14, i932. — E. C. 
Wallace. Frequent in this part of Surrey. . . . Apparently a 
very striking “ state,” perhaps induced by excessive moisture. 
— J. E. Lousley.
