30 THE BOTANICAL EXCHANGE CLUB OF THE BRITISH ISLES. 
It was dwarfed, closely tufted; had lax spikes and long awns. 
Perhaps only due to the late season and insufficient nourishment. 
Re-gravelling the path has improved it out of existence. It does 
not seem to agree with the descriptions of A. Puelii, Lecoq. and 
Lam. — H. J. Riddelsdell. This is A. Puelii, Lecoq. and Lam. — 
E. Hackel. An annual species. I have the same form from Bucks. 
The Rev. W. R. Linton and E. S. Marshall also refer it to Puelii. 
— G. C. D. 
Phleum phalarouies, Koel {P. Boehmeri, auct. angl.). Willjury 
Hill, in both Beds, and Herts., in considerable quantity ; usually 
growing in scanty turf and chiefly on ground which had been 
disturbed, i.e. on the sides of the earthwork of the camp, on the 
top of the mound by the road, &c., and a few plants were also 
observed grosving among corn. The purplish colour of the culm 
offers a ready means in the field of distinguishing it from forms 
of P. praiense. It was associated with Festuca ovina, Koeleria, 
and Carum Bulbocastanum, and also occurred in apparently abori- 
ginal turf and preferring full exposure to sun. I do not think 
it has been distributed from Bedfordshire before. Glareal and 
Pascual appear to best describe it. — G. Claridge Druce. 
Polypogon littoralis, Sm. Origin Littlesea, Dors., cult. 29 July 
1903. — Augustin Ley. Extraordinarily increased in size from the 
pretty almost prostrate plant of the sandy borders of Littlesea. It 
indeed appears probable that it is a hybrid of Agroslis alba with 
Polypogon mouspeliensis. — G. Claridge Druce. 
Gastridium australe, Beauv. Rough fallow field, near Copy- 
hold, Sussex, pointed out to me by Mrs. Davy, Sept. 1902. — G. 
Claridge Druce. 
A rrlieualherum avefiaceum, Beauv., var. nodosum, Reichb. Near 
Aberystwith, the prevailing form, v.c. 46, August 1903. — ^V. H. 
Painter. 
Arrhenatherum avcnaccum, Beauv., var. biaristalum (Peterm.\ 
Shingle, Dungeness, Kent, June 1902. — G. Claridge Druce. A 
new British variety. See ‘ Journ. Bot.,’ 408 (1903). 
Cynosurus echinatus, Linn. Alien, on ballast, Fleetwood Dock 
(60), July 1902. — J. A. Whkldon. 
Molinia coerulea, Moench, var. breviramosa, Parn. Cocker- 
ham Moss, W. Lancs. (60), 6 August 1902. — D. A. Jones and 
J. A. Wheldon. If cited as M. varia it would be var. brevira- 
mosa, Druce. Although not so extreme, I think this agrees sub- 
stantially with the South Lancs, jflants I distributed recently, 
which were confirmed by Hackel. — J. A. Wheldon. Yes. — ■ 
E. Hackel.
