Deyeuxia 7 ieglecta, Kunth. {Ca/amagrostis stricta, Nuttall). Near 
Lochside, Castletown, Caithness, August 1902. The Rev. H. J. 
Riddelsdell and myself made an expedition in search of D. strigosa, 
of which I had not seen flowering specimens, and did not know the 
locality. We found the above-named grass associated with Galium 
nligifiosum, etc., in a small marsh which was in the neighbourhood of 
Loch Durran, whence Robert Dick found his Ca/amagrostis lapponica 
(which subsequently Mr. N. E. Brown identified as D. strigosa). It 
strongly reminded me of the Deyeuxia borealis which I discovered by 
Loch Tay in 1888, see ‘ Journal of Botany,’ 1888, p. 117, wherel 
described it as Deyeuxia fieg/ecta, Kunth., var. borealis (Laestad). 
Professor Hackel assures me that my Caithness specimens are fairly 
ty[)ical D. neglecta, which it may be remarked was discovered by 
George Don in 1807, in the White Mire Marsh, Forfar, and was 
shortly after destroyed by drainage. My variety borealis met with a 
similar fate about 1895, so that it is my great pleasure to add one of 
Don’s discoveries again to the Scottish flora, and a pleasing coinci- 
dence was the fact that on leaving Caithness I was going to Dundee 
to give a paper on the ‘ History of Scottish Botany,’ in which special 
attention was given to the work of George Don. I may say that the 
marsh in Caithness in which it grows is of very small extent, so that 
care should be taken not to eradicate it in this, its only known 
station in Scotland. — ^G. Claridge Druce. 
D. neglecta, Kunth. Type plant, near Thurso, Caithness, vice 
county 109, 4th August 1902. New county record for county 109. 
Mr. Druce, in whose company I collected it, writes that this is 
Hackel’s determination. Found near Thurso in the course of a 
search for D. strigosa. There should be enough in Mr. Druce’s 
gatherings and my own to supply all the members with this rare 
plant. — H. J. Riddelsdell. “Sent also by Mr. Druce, who .says 
Dr. Hackel doubts the occurrence of D. strigosa in Scotland.” — Ed. 
Avena flavescetis^ var. variegata, Gaud. ? Pagham, West Sussex, 
1 2th July 1902. I do not know whether this is correctly named. It 
appears to be connected by insensible gradations of colour with the 
type. 1 saw what appears to be the same form abundantly on the 
chalk downs at Graffham. — A. H. Wolley-Dod. “71 /lavescens, 
Beauv., approaching var. variegatiwi, Gaud., but not so dark-coloured 
as this.” — Ed. 
Kivleria cristata, Pers., var. gracilis, Boreau. Portskewett, Mon- 
mouthshire, county 35, 3rd July 1902. — W. A. Shoolbrkd. 
K. cristata, var. gracilis. Ref. No. 2674. This grew abundantly 
on a limestone hill not far from the railway station; the type occurs 
about a mile away. The species is not recorded for Monmouth in
