428 THE BOTANICAL EXCHANGE CLUB OF THE BRITISH ISLES. 
Shoolbred. “ P. communis , var. nigricans , Gren. & Godr.” — E. 
Hackel. 
Sesleria coerulea , var. flavescens , Moore. Rocky sandy pastures, 
Shores of Galway Bay, Co. Galway, and rocky limestone pastures, 
Gort, Co. Clare, May, 1891. One-half of the specimens sent are from 
shore of Galway Bay, about two miles below the city, on sand. The 
others are from Gort, Co. Clare. I collected it also on Arranmore. 
This var. grows intermixed with the type, though not so abundant. — 
S, A. Stewart. Confirmed by Prof. Hackel. 
Kceleria cristata , Pers., var. Shoebury Common, S. Essex, 4th 
June, 1893. — A. H. Wolley Dod. “A dwarf form, but not a well 
distinguished variety.”— E. Hackel. 
Poa glauca , Smith. Alpine cliffs, Ben Dothaidh, Argyll, 3rd 
August, 1893. — E. S. Marshall and W. A. Shoolbred. Confirmed 
by Prof. Hackel. 
P. Balfouri , Parn. Root from Cam Chreag, M. Perth, garden, 
Milford, 31st May, 1893. Cultivated for two years, this keeps quite 
distinct from P. glauca. Both come true from seed, and their diver- 
gence from P. nemoralis is, if anything, accentuated by culture. The 
present plant seems fairly intermediate between P. nemoralis and 
P. glauca, and I think that it belongs to P. Balfouri. — E. S. Marshall. 
“ The characters of inflorescence are much altered, those of the foliage 
and culm are almost unchanged.” — E. Hackel. 
P. Balfouri, Parn., var. monlana , Parn.? Alpine cliffs, Ben 
Creachain, Argyll, 2nd August, 1893. — W. A. Shoolbred. “Surely 
a form of P. Balfouri, but whether it be really var. monlana, Parn., 
I cannot decide.” — E. Hackel. 
P. nemoralis, L., var. A slightly glaucous variety, growing at 
about 2,000 ft. in sheltered rock crevices on Ingleborough, W. Yorks., 
June, 1891. — J. A. Wheldon. “Typical P. nemoralis .” — E. Hackel. 
P. ?iemoralis, L., var. Parnellii, H. & A. High Force, Teesdale, 
Durham, July, 1892.— H. E. Fox. From same locality, 17th Juty, 
1893, — W. PL Painter. Confirmed by Prof. Hackel. 
Glyceria dcclinata , Brebisson. Pease Marsh, near Guildford, 
Surrey, 2nd Sept., 1893. In great abundance on the mud of a dried- 
up pond. I believe that this plant will be found to be not uncommon 
in such situations. — E. S. Marshall. Confirmed by Prof. Hackel. 
G. Borreri , Bab., var. Near Grain, W. Kent, 28th June, 1893. 
Gathered in company of the Rev. E. S. Marshall, who pointed out 
the plant to me and who, I believe, intends to describe it as a variety. 
— A. H. Wolley Dod. “ The type.” — E. Hackel. 
Bromus commutatus , Schrad. Stour meadows, near Shapwick, 
Dorset, 20th May, 1893. This plant, which has been named by 
Hackel, is sent on account of the trouble which it has given to more 
than one botanist. For some time Mr. A. Bennett was inclined to 
refer it to B. patulus , M. K., while another name suggested was B. 
secalinus, L. Fruiting specimens certainly show a curious approach 
to this latter species by their decidedly loosely imbricate appearance. 
The plant is exceedingly abundant for some miles in the valley of the 
Stour, and is unquestionably native. — R. P. Murray,
