REPORT FOR 1 887. 
193 
Carex glauca^ Murr., stictocarpa. Bog, Upper Lake, Killarney, 
Kerry, 25th Aug., 1887. — Augustin Ley. “My specimens are not 
glauca at all, but GoodenoviiP — W. H. Beeby. 
C. ericetorum^ Poll. Roadside between Mildenhall and Thetford, 
Suffolk, May, 1887. — Walter W. Reeves. 
C. panicea^ L. conferta^ Nils.? Near Idyn Cwn, Carnarvonshire, 
June, 1887, alt. 2,150 ft. — J. E. Griffith. “Plant is C. panicea^ 
L., var. conferta^ Nils.” — A. Bennett. 
C. extensa, Good., var. h. pumila, Anders. Near Four-mile Bridge, 
Holyhead, June, 1887. — ^J. E. Griffith. 
C. rostrata^ Stokes, form. Brandon, border of Norfolk, 15th 
June, 1887. — E. F. Linton. 
Spartina Townsendi^ H. and J. Groves. Mud Flats, Hythe, S. 
Hants, 9th October, 1883. — H. Groves. 
Agrostu palustris^ Huds. Aviemore, Easterness, July, 1887. — G. C. 
Druce. The specimens sent, I suppose, belong to Parnell’s var. 
(of alba). It occurred in a swamp by the Spey side, between Aviemore and 
Downe, Easterness, 96, and from the robust habit suggested at a distance 
a Digr aphis form. “Is A. alba v. coarctata, Hoffm.” — E. Hackel. 
“ Professor Hackel now considers that A. alba should bear the name 
A, stolonifera^ L. I have only the ‘Sp. Plant,’ ed. H. for reference, 
but in that work (p. 93) ‘FI. Suecica,’ ed. II. (1755) is quoted under 
the latter name ; while Nyman (‘ Sylloge,’ p. 408) quotes the ‘ Skanska 
Resa’ (1751) as the authority. Both of these works greatly antedate 
the first edition of ‘Hudson’s FI. Anglica.’” — W. H. Beeby. 
Deschampsia ccespitosa^ Beauv. var. brevifolia. Cliffs of Carnedd 
Dafydd, Carnarvon, 29th August, 1887. — Augustin Ley. “ Correct.” 
— E. Hackel. 
D . pseudo-alpina. Rocks above Cwm Idwal, October 1887. — J. 
E. Griffith. “ Is the viviparous form of D. ccespitosa var. alpina., 
Gaud, (non D. alpina., R. & S.).” — E. Hackel. 
D. ccespitosa, xzx. pallida, Koch. Wytham, Berks., June, 1887. — 
G. C. Druce. “ This is right, but I should not call it a variety, 
being only a shade-grown form.” — E. Hackel. 
D. discolor, Crepin {Air a setacea, Huds.) {A. uliginosa, Weihe). 
Near Forres, August, 1887. Loch near Altyre, Nairn, 95. A new 
county record. It was also abundant in Easterness, round Lochs 
Phihulais, Dallas, an Eilan, Gahmna, &c. The plant is easily 
distinguished from D. flexuosa, Trin., by the numerous asperities on 
the panicle branches, which give to them a dull appearance. In 
flexuosa the branches and branchlets are more or less shining. — G. 
C. Druce. “Crepin is not the author of the name,, but Roem. and 
Schult. Your specimen is exactly like those from Rambouillet, 
Roemer’s original station.” — E. Hackel. 
Dactylis glomerata v. congesta, Goss, and Germ. Great Orme’s 
Head, July, 1884. J- E. Griffith. A single specimen on which 
Professor Hackel reports — “Quite right. D. glomerata var. abbrrciata, 
Drej. = Z>. abbreviata, Bernh, ap. Link Hort. Ber. I. 153 may be an 
older synonym, but it seems to indicate a littoral form, not one of 
high mountains. The diagnosis agrees well.”
