the flava parent authoritatively named as yet. Both parents were 
growing freely around in each case. The ground, of course, was wet, 
and rather boggy. — E. F. and W. R. Linton. “ The plant may be 
C. fulva , Good. I do not see the suggested hybridity.” — Arthur 
Bennett. 
Carex flava , Linn., var. lepidocarpa , Tausch? Bog, Great Doward, 
Herefordshire, 7th June, 1889. — -Augustin Ley. “I should strike 
out the lepidocarpa — Arthur Bennett. 
C. flava , Linn., var. lepidocarpa (Tausch). Glen Fiadh, Clova, 
Forfar, 13th July, 1889. — W. R. Linton. “ If we consider this as a 
variety of flava its proper name is C. flava, Linn. var. elatior, 
Schlecht, in FI. Berol. I. 477 (1823) fide Bailey, who saw a specimen 
in Herb. Betol. : if a species it is C lepidocarpa, Tausch, Flora, 1834, 
p. 129. Mr. Linton’s plant agrees in the pedunculated male spike, 
but the stem is not scabrous enough, and the spikes are too long, 
they cannot be called ovate.” — Arthur Bennett. Boggy wood, near 
Fownhope, Herefordshire, 26th July, 1888. The name was confirmed 
for me by the kindness of Mr. Arthur Bennett. — Augustin Ley. 
C. paludosa, Good. var. Kochiana , Good. Near Penrhyn Lake, 
Valley, Holyhead, June, 1889. Confirmed by Mr. Arthur Bennett. 
New record for Anglesey. — J. E. Griffith. 
Anthoxanthum odoraluin , Linn., var. villosum, Dumort. Shirley 
and Bradley, S. Derbyshire, July, 1889. This is a wood form. 
A similar plant from a roadside was thus named for me by Mr. A. 
Bennett. — W. R. Linton. “Not var. villosum , only the typical 
form.” — E. Hackel. 
Agrostis canina, L., var. scotica, Hack, in lit. Quarzite screes of Ben 
Eay ascending to summit, West Ross, August, 1889. I first noticed 
form in 1887 and hoped it might be A. rubra , Wahl., but having this 
sent a good series to Professor Hackel he says “the plant is in some 
degree intermediate between A canina and A. rubra. The existence 
of such intermediate forms has already been- mentioned by Berlin, 
‘ Ofvers. Stock. R. Akad. Forhande,’ 1884, P- 76, but he gave no 
name to any of them. I should like to name your Agrostis A. canina 
var. scotica and like A. canina genuina it offers two sub-varieties, 
aristata and mutica. The true A. rubra differs from it by its flat 
radical leaves, strongly tufted growth without runners, etc. From 
A. canina genuina your A. canina scotica differs by the lower culm, 
much greater spikelets, depauperate panicle, etc.” The plant was 
very abundant on the mountain descending from the summit to about 
900 feet, when a large flowered form of A. canina, which also occurred, \ 
replaced it as the moorland plant. On the neighbouring mountain ' 
Ben Slioch it also occurred, but much more sparingly; perhaps the 
latter being a sheep farm may account for its apparent scarcity. 1 do 
not remember having noticed it on the Cairngorm range. But I 
believe in £ Parnell’s Grasses ’ there is a similar specimen from 
Forfarshire called A. canina L. var. alpina , Parnell. — G. Claridge | 
Druce. 
A. vulgaris, With. var. pumila, (Linn.) Near Maelog Lake, j 
Anglesey, June, 1889. — J. E. Griffith. Confirmed by Prof. Hackel.
