REPORT FOR I903. 
31 
Brha maxima, Linn. Casual on rubbish heaps at Iver, 
Bucks, July 1903. Remarkably handsome spikelets. — G. Claridge 
Druce. 
Poa nemoralis, L., var. angustifolia (Parn.)? Under beech 
tree, Thurcaston, Leicester, 12 July 1903. — A. B. Jackson. 
P. nemoralis vulgaris. — E. Hackel. The Rev. E. S. Marshall 
points out that it is only a shade-grown state of P. fietfioralis. 
Poa Parnellii, Hook, and Arn. Origin, Brecon Beacons, 
Cult. 24 July and 10 August 1903. I believe that this is the same 
form as that sent by me in 1896 (from the same locality), and 
in 1897 from Taren-y-Esgob. See Report, 1897, p. 576. — Augustin 
Ley. P. nemoralis. — E. Hackel. I could only name this plant P. 
7 iemoralis, and in answer to my question as to whether it was 
not the same plant which he distributed in 1895, as P. nemoralis, 
var. rigidula, the Rev. A. Ley tells me that is the case, the name 
rigidula being suggested by Mr. Arthur Bennett. Specimens 
were at that time submitted to Prof. Hackel, who referred them 
certainly to P. nemoralis. This year Mr. Ley says he was struck 
with the similarity of the plant to the Poa from Black Mountain 
Brecon (Taren-y-Esgob), sent by him to the Club in 1897. and 
pronounced by Prof. Hackel to be Parnellii. See Rep., 1897, 
p. 576. Mr. Ley adds, these plants, when growing on the 
mountain cliffs, look very unlike P. nemoralis. Prof. Hackel 
names the plant distributed this year as P. nemoralis, Linn. — 
G. C. D. 
Glyceria distans, Wahl., var. tejiuijlora, Gren. and Godr. 
{PanictUaria distans, var. Brigantiaca). See ‘ Journ. Bot.,’ Dec. 
1903, p. 408. This plant was first named as Aira h 7 -igantiaca 
by Chaix, in Villars’ ‘ Plantes Dauph.’ i. 378 (1786), but afterwards 
described by Villars under the name Ah'a jjiiliacea. Grenier and 
Godron, in ‘ Flore France, ’ iii. p. 536, reduced it to its proper 
position as a variety of G. distans, but unfortunately did not 
retain the original name, so that Richter in ‘ Plantae Europaeae ’ 
names it Atropis distans var. brigantiaca (Chaix). Briancon is 
the only locality given for it by Richter. These specimens 
are from a mud flat near New Romney, Kent, where it was 
locally common, growing with normal G. distans. and also with 
a robust form. I have also seen it near Shoreham, Sussex. 
These are the first British specimens distributed. — G. Claridge 
Druce. 
Glyceria Borreri, Bab. Mud flats. New Romney, Kent, 
July 1903. G. Claridge Druce. Yes. — E. Hackel. 
Festuca. Sea-shore near Fleetwood, S. Lancs. (6o). July 
1^02. — J. A. Wheldon. F. rubra genuina, v. grandiflora, Hack.
