Agropyron pungens var. aristatum Hack. Alluvial ground 
by R. Avon, close to Clifton Bridge station, N. Somerset, 
Aug. 3, 1933. See last Report. — H. S. Thompson. Yes. — 
C. E. Hubbard. 
Agropyron [acutum (DC) = junceum X repens ?]. Strongly 
awned ; the repens parent was probably the var. Leersianum 
S. F. Gray, with which it was growing. Leaves very broad. 
Neiv Passage, W. Glos., July 20, 1933, with J. E. Lousley. — 
H. S. Thompson. A. pungens R. & S. var. aristatum Hack. — 
C. E. Hubbard. Mr. Hubbard doubts whether A. acutum 
(of England) is a hybrid between A. junceum and A. pungens. 
Last year he and Dr. Turrill found it in several places on the 
N.W. coast of Norfolk, but though it was growing between 
junceum and pungens , he thinks we should have experimental 
proof before definitely stating it to be a hybrid. — C. E. 
Hubbard in litt. 
Cryptogramme crispa Br. Near Thirlmere, Cumberland, 
Aug., 1864. Ex. Herb. Thos. Rylands. — Comm. Dept. Bot., 
N. Mus. of Wales. 
Lastrea aemula Brack. Combe above Holford Combe, S. 
Somerset, Aug. 10, 1933. A second locality recently discovered 
by Mr. H. Corder. — H. S. Thompson. My specimen is 
L. dilatata Presl. — H. W. Pugsley. I fear one, or perhaps two, 
small dilatata got into this parcel. — H. S. T. 
Polypodium vulgare L. var. semilacerum Link. Miss 
Sherring’s garden at Hallatrow, near Bristol, Aug. 1, 1933. 
See last Report. — H. S. Thompson. Right ; but the fronds 
lack the sori which those distributed last year had, on their 
apical and shallowly lobed portion. In this state it resembles 
the var. cambricum., which is barren. The variety was plentiful 
in Scotland in the sixties and seventies of last century, but it 
was originally found by the late Mrs. Delves in Co. Wicklow, 
and named the Irish Polypody. — J. Fraser. 
Equisetum sylvaticum L. var. capillare (Hoffm.). Fruiting 
spikes from Holmwood Common, Surrey, May 6, 1933. — E. C. 
Wallace. 
Equisetum liyemale L. Cat’s Clough (sic.) Ex. Herb. Thos. 
Rylands. Comm. Dept, of Bot., National Museum of Wales. 
I agree. Many of the sheaths at the nodes are notable for 
having lost the black ring at the base. — J. Fraser.
