Hospital. See also ‘Botanical Exchange Club Reports ’ for 1876, 
1896. — A. B. Jackson. Sent also from a wood near Inkpen, Berk- 
shire. On p. 579 of the 4 Flora of Berkshire’ I have discussed the 
probability of this plant being native in some localities in Britain. 
Professor Hackel, to whom I described the Berkshire locality, thinks 
it may be native there. I think the early notices of it in Britain, which 
were localities in which it was evidently only of casual occurrence, 
may have unfairly prejudiced its claims to be considered as a native 
plant. Unless it can be proved to have been intentionally planted in 
the Border counties, its wide distribution there appears to give it 
great claims to be called native. — G. Claridge Druce. 
Poa angustifolia, Linn. Railway bank, Rugby, 10th June 1897. — 
S. T. Dunn. “Correctly named.” — E. Hackel. 
Panicularia plicata (Glycerio). Castlethorpe, Bucks. New county 
record. — G. C. Druce. 
Glyceria distans , Wahl. Waste sandy ground, Milverton, War- 
wickshire, 26th June 1897. Mr. H. Bromwich pointed me out this 
grass in this locality, where he has observed it for a number of years. 
I send a few sheets of it, thinking that some members may like to 
have it from an inland locality. — A. B. Jackson. “The type.” — 
E. Hackel. “Th e Panicularia distans, Kuntze.”— G. Claridge Druce. 
Festuca rubra , L. Conmon, Slough, Bucks. New county record. 
— G. C. Druce. 
F. fallax, Thuill. Prince Risborough, Bucks. New county 
record. — G. C. Druce. 
Festuca loliacea , Huds. Margin of Fetcham Millpond, near 
Leatherhead, Surrey, 26th June 1897. Occurring with F pratensis 
and Lolium perenne. In the specimens I examined all the spikelets 
were solitary.— J. Groves. “ This is the Festuca elatior x Lolium 
perenne of the ‘London Catalogue/ of which I send a few examples 
from the Thames side, near Godstow, Berkshire, 1896. — G. Claridge 
Druce. “Correctly named.” — E. Hackel. 
Bromus interruptus , Druce, in ‘ Pharm. Soc. Journ. Suppl./ 5th 
October 1895. See ‘Linn. Soc. Journal’ (1896), 426-430. Near 
Upton, Berks, 1895. — G. Claridge Druce. 
B. unioloides , Kunth. Ballast heaps, Aintree, Liverpool, September 
1897. This is a frequently occurring casual on ballast heaps on both 
sides of the Mersey. — J. A. Wheldon. Also from hillside above St. 
Aubyns, Jersey, 8th June 1897. An American species so well estab- 
lished in this locality as to look like a native. Unknown to Mr. 
Piquet, and perhaps therefore of recent introduction. But so many
