8o THE BOTANICAL EXCHANGE CLUB OF THE BRITISH ISLES. 
Carex pseudo-divulsa. Field, Old Park, Warwick, June, 1879. — H. 
Bromwich. Professor Babington writes : “ What does Mr. Bromwich 
mean by pseudo-divulsa ? I call this divulsa.” 
C. saxumbra , Lees. Glen Phee, Forfar, August, 1882. — G. C. 
Druce. “ Certainly not Dr. Lees’s plant. I should call it an imma- 
ture specimen of ordinary C. pilulifera .” — J. T. Boswell. 
C. prcecox, Jacq. (?) (abnormal form). Hind Head, Surrey, 29th 
May, 1882. Betchworth Hill, Surrey, 27th May, 1883. Dr. 
Buchenau writes : “ Altogether prcecox ,” but afterwards suggests its 
being possibly a hybrid with panicea. Dr. B. was, of course, unaware 
that there was no panicea growing near the above plant, which is 
simply an abnormal form with the perigynium greatly inflated in the 
lower, and elongated in the upper part, thus resembling an acorn 
in shape. — W. H. Beeby. “ Seems to me to b z prcecox with abnormal 
fruit, or seems to differ considerably on' the same plant. Is it 
caused by a fungus, or an injury produced by an insect ? ” — J. T. 
Boswell. 
C. fiava. (?) Glen Phee, Forfar, August, 1882. — G. C. Druce. 
“ Is what I used to call speirostachya , Sm., and now HornschnchianaP 
— C. C. Babington. 
* Anthoxanthum Puellii , Sec. and Lam. Among clover, St. 
Weonard’s, Herefordshire. — A. Ley. 
Agrostis nigra , With. Hartshill, Warwick. — J. E. Bagnall. 
Whitmarsh, Warwick. — R. L. Baker and H. Bromwich. Cornfields, 
St. Weonard’s, Herefordshire. — A. Ley. Marycutter, Kincardine- 
shire. — J. T. Boswell. I send a few specimens of this as illustrating 
Mr. Bagnall’s paper in the “ Bot. Journ.,” 1882, p. 65. It is the 
common cornfield variety of this plant in this county ; it is an 
exceedingly troublesome weed on the light soils ; but is by no means 
confined to them. — A ugustin Ley. A few examples of this are sent 
for distribution. I believe it will be found to be fairly abundant in 
arable land throughout the country, and that close examination will 
show it too distinct as a variety from typical A. vulgaris. — J. E. 
Bagnall. Dr. Boswell writes : — “ I sent this to Mr. Bagnall, and he 
said it was the same plant as that figured in J ; of Bot. I think it 
merely A. vulgaris growing in cultivated ground. The A. nigra was 
abundant in the field, and the ordinary form of the A. vulgaris plentiful 
along the edges where the soil had not been ploughed.” 
Calamagrostis Hookeri. Gravelly lake shore, Scawdy Island, 
Lough Neagh, 30th June, 1877. — S. A. Stewart. 
Air a setacea , Huds. A. uliginosa, Weihe. Loch-an-Eilien, E. 
Inverness, 29th July, 1882. — J. Groves. 
A. flexuosa , mountain form. Braeriach, E. Inverness, at about 
4,000ft., 2nd August, 1882. — J. Groves. Professor Haeckel writes 
concerning this : “ Is b, montana , Wahlenb. ; I should prefer to write 
b, contracta , Neilr. FI. v. Nied-Oest., because the name montana was 
at first given by Linnaeus to another plant, probably A. botnica , 
Wahlenb.” — J. Groves. 
Poa nemoralis , var. glaucantha. Root from Snowdon, North 
Wales. Hort., Croydon, 1882. — A. Bennett. 
Poa Parnelliil High Force, Teesdale, So. Durham, July, 1882. 
G. C. Druce. “ True Parnellii .” — J. G. Baker.
