REPORT FOR 1884. 
II 9 
Kosleria cristata. Sea sands. — J. W. White. Varying much as 
this grass does, both inland and on the coast, I h^e not yet seen 
anything that can be certainly referred to the albescens of De Candolle, 
and in this Mr. G. Nicholson concurs, he having had the opportunity 
of seeing the types of the plant. 
Psamma baltica. Sandhills, Ross Links, Northumberland (Cheviot- 
land). — W. H. Brown. Very few specimens of this are contributed, 
and it still remains a desideratum with many members. 
Festuca “ glaucaP Uig, Skye, 6th Aug., 1884. — E. F Lintq-N. 
“Is a form of F rubra, L., which is not specially described in my 
Monograph Fest. europ. It comes nearest to F rubra , sub-v. juncea 
(Mon. p. 139), but differs by its very glaucous leaves, this colour being 
due to a thin stratum of vegetable wax. I call it F rubra , sub-v. 
pruirosa (nov. forma).” — Hackel in litt. “These seems to be creeping 
plants allied to rubraP — C. C. Babington. 
Also grows at Loch Aline, Westerness. — W. R. Linton- 
Athyriuiti rhceticum. Strome Ferry, 1884. — E. F. Linton. “ I 
think as labelled, rhceticum , rather than the typical form.” — T. R. 
Archer Briggs. “Yes.” — C. C. Babington. Mr. J. G. Baker passed 
it without comment. 
Nephrodium uliginosum, Newm. Delamere Forest, Cheshire, Aug., 
1884. — James Fraser. “Poor and doubtful.” — C. C. Babington. 
“ I think only spifiulosaP — J. G. Baker. 
Nephrodium dilalatum , Desv., v. glandulosum. Clova, Forfar, 21st 
July, 1884. — E. F. Linton. “ A slightly glandular form of dilatata , 
but not the glandulosa of Newman. — J. G. Baker. 
Nitella opaca . Old Bedford, Cambridgeshire, 3rd May, 1885. 
A. Fryer. “ As we have remarked in ‘Journal of Botany’ for March, 
1885, this is apparently a monoclinous state of N. opaca. We hope to 
see more of the plant during the coming season.” — Messrs. Groves. 
Char a vulgaris, L., v. crassicaulis. Ellington, Hunts, 3rd May, 
1884. — W. R. Linton. “Yes.” — Messrs. Groves. I should not 
name this so, and other specimens I have seen referred to this by the 
Messrs. Groves do not seem to me to agree with the true plant 
Chara vulgaris, L., v. longibracteata. Pinner, Middlesex, July, 
1884. — W. R. Linton. “ Chara fragilis, Desv., v. Hedwigii. ” — Messrs. 
Groves. 
Chara fragilis, Desv., v. fulcrata. Staines Common, Middlesex, 
28th July, 1883. — W. R. Linton. “ C. fragilis, Desv. v. Hedwigii, 
par.”— Messrs. Groves. 
Chara Braunii, Gmel. In the Canal, Reddish, near Manchester. 
Mr. C. Bailey sends a supply of good specimens of this species, 
which enabled me to supply all the members.
