Spartina Townsendi H. & J. Groves. Estuary, Milford-on-Sea, 
Hants., Aug. 19, 1922. — A. J. Crosfield. Yes. — A.B. 
Alopecurus bulbosus Gouan. Mud flats, Rumney, Mon., v.c. 35, 
June, 1922. — A. E. Wade. Comm. Nat. Mus. of Wales. Correct, 
I believe.— C.E.S. Yes.— A.B. 
Agrostis setacea Curt. Hills above Porlock, at about 1000 ft., 
Somerset, v.c. 5, July, 1922. — H. S. Thompson. Seems an 
additional station to those given in the “Flora of Som.” and 
“Suppl.” — A.B. It is, however, locally common on the moors 
in the west of the county. Not found in Wilts, nor Glos. ; and 
apparently confined abroad to Belgium, France, Spain, and 
Portugal.— H.S.T. 
Gastridiwm australe Beauv. Limestone slope of Durdham 
Down, Bristol, v.c. 34, July 28, 1922. — H. S. Thompson. Yes; 
the proper name is G. ventricosum (Gouan) Schinz et Thell. — 
G.C.D. Various opinions have been expressed by authors as to 
its nativity in Britain. Mr. Thompson’s record seems to read 
like a native. — A.B. The same doubt appears to exist on the 
Continent. In White’s “FI. of Bristol” its status in that area is 
well expressed as “Native on the Carboniferous Limestone at 
Clifton : sporadically on waste ground about Bristol ; and more 
rarely still inland.” I am grateful to Dr. Dr.uce for pointing out 
its correct name; and observe that it was in 1768 that Gouan 
named this grass as Agrostis ventricosa in his “ Hortus Monspel.” 
—H.S.T. 
Molinia ccerulea Moench, var. major Roth. Wimbledon 
Common, Surrey, v.c. 17, Sept. 1922. Coll. W. R. Sherrin and 
St. J. Marriott. Roth’s name, “FI. German.” 1788, seems much 
earlier than Link’s var. altissima which is quoted by Koch in 
“Syn. FI. Germ. et. Helv.” ed. 3.— A.B. 
Glycerin Borreri Bab. (1) Cley, v.c. 27, Aug. 19, 1922. 
( 2 ) Wells, v.c. 28, Aug. 22, 1922. — J. E. Little. Additional 
stations to those given in the “Flora of Norfolk,” 1914. — A.B. 
I found G. Borreri growing in a dyke at Holkham near the coast. 
It was confirmed by Mr. Ar. Bennett, who said that it had not 
been reported so far north before. — F. Long. If this is Borreri, 
the rigid apiculus on the lower pale (so emphasized by Babington, 
and so conspicuous on my examples from our South Coast) is 
not very obvious. — C.E.S. In both cases these plants, with 
G. distans, were colonising bare mud. The Cley plants were 
on a marsh formerly embanked and drained, but now reached 
by heavy tides over the broken wall behind the shingle beach.
