Poa trivialis, Linn., var. glabra, Doll. ‘Rhein. FI.,’ p. 92. In 
Bloxham Grove, near Banbury, Oxfordshire, June 1899. This plant 
is contained in the British Museum Herbarium under the name of 
P. pratensis, coll. A. French, 1878, but the specimens there suggested 
to me, at a cursory view, a form of P. nemoralis, but the ligule did not 
agree. French evidently saw that it was abnormal, and he remarks 
that it was the prevailing grass in the Grove. This grove is a circular 
spinney, planted probably in an old stonepit, but the trees have gone 
from the centre, and it is now open to cattle, who evidently make it a 
resting-place, since the grass was so trampled down as to render it 
impossible to obtain good specimens. Prof. Hackel agrees with me in 
referring them to this variety of P. trivialis. — G. Claridge Druce.

ed. 3, vol. ii., p. 181 (1872), observes: — ‘I suspect that T. repeats 
^ littoreiim, Bab., ‘ Man. Brit. Bot.,’ ed. 6, p. 424, ought also to be 
referred to T. pwigens, as the leaves being “involute” make it probable 
that there might be cartilaginous ribs on the upper side ; but I have 
not seen specimens named by Prof. Babington.’ Like Dr. Boswell, I 
have not seen specimens named by Prof. Babington, but if the sp.
