of it as a montane form of C. flava. Mr. H. C. Watson, to whom 
some years ago I sent similar specimens from Glen Callater, also 
called it C.flava, and told me the late Professor Balfour once sent 
him similar specimens labelled C. saxatilis. I think it may be worth 
distinguishing as variety alpina, since it is quite as distinct from 
ordinary lowland flava as that is from the var. argillacea and minor of 
Townsend. C.flava shows a somewhat similar gradation of form as 
C. vesicaria. — G. Claridgk Druce. 
Alopecurus ge?iicnlatus, var. promts, Mitt. Bradwell Old Moor, 
Derbyshire, 27th August 1896. I do not know the variety, but these 
specimens answer the description, being long, prostrate, and rooting at 
the nodes. Gathered at an altitude of about 1200 feet. — W. R. Linton.

apparently quite at home in two widely-separated spots on the bank

West Highland Railway, between Tulloch and Loch Treig, West

been known to establish itself inland, as at Kew Green (Brewer’s ‘Flora 
of Surrey,’ p. 272), and is said to be a troublesome alien weed in light 
soil in the United States. — S. T. Dunn.

Hungerford, Berkshire, June 1896. This handsome grass has been 
considered by British botanists to be an introduction. How far this 
opinion has been influenced by its inclusion in the ‘ Compendium of j 
the Cybele Britannica,’ part third, among the “ Introductions and 1 
Casuals,” I am unable to say. Of course, I am not imputing any 
incorrectness to the author of that work, since the locality given diere 
of ‘Kew Grounds’ assumes an undoubted introduction. Mr. Bagnall, 
in the ‘ Flora of Warwickshire,’ speaks of it only as an alien or casual 
weed. This refers to a locality mentioned in the ‘ Exch. Club i
