(48) THE BOTANICAL EXCHANGE CLUB OF THE BRITISH ISLES. l88 
now is most plentiful, and evidently is rapidly increasing. I traced 
it as far as Keyhaven to the north, but there it is not so abundant 
at present. — J. Cosmo Melvill. 
S. Townsendi, Groves. In some quantity by the Fever 
Hospital, Poole, Dorset, v.-c. 9, with Salicornia, radicans and Stiada 
frtiticosa, Oct. 1905. I cannot find a record for Dorset in ‘Top. 
Bot.’ — H. J. Riddelsdell. “Nor is the genus mentioned in the 
‘ Flora of Dorset.’ ” — Ed. I have no doubt a recent introduction 
to the Dorset coast. I did not see it near Poole when I carefully 
worked the coast some years ago. — G. C. Druce. 
Alopeciirus goiiculatus, L., forma. In Brading salt marshes, 
Isle of Wight, Sept. 1905. — G. Claridge Druce. “The normal 
form.” — Dr. Hackel. 
A. hybridus, Wimmer. Banks of the Soar, Belgrave, Leics., 
July 1905. The plants now distributed come from the third known 
locality in this county and exhibit a closer relationship with A. 
pratensis than to A. genicidatus. The converse is seen in specimens 
recently sent to the Club from Birstall, Leics., by Mr. A. B. Jack- 
son. — A. R. Horwood. See ‘ Reports B. E. C.’ 1900, p. 650, 
and 1902, p. 61. — Ed. “From the habit and narrowness of the 
inflorescence I think that this is probably (as suggested) A. geni- 
culatus X pratensisP — Edw. S. ^Marshall. 
Agrostis palustris, Huds., forma. Road-side, near Shirley, 
Derby, August 1905. If rightly named this plant departs from 
the type in the somewhat open panicle, which remained open till 
in October the roadman cleaned all away. The ligule also did 
not appear to be exactly acute, as according to the books it should 
have been. Possibly a form of 7 iigra, but the lower panicle 
branches are compound, and the colour pinkish, not ‘blackish- 
brown.’ — W. R. Linton. '•‘‘Agrostis alba., L., Sp. PI. i, 63, 1753. 
A. palustris, Huds., FI. Angl. i, 27, 1762. I have no specimens 
to compare, but this plant seems in the direction of var. limosa, 
Asch. and Graeb. S)m. FI. Mit. Europ. 174, 1889 .” — Ar. Bennett. 
“ No peculiar form.” — E. Hackel. 
Koeleria splendefis (Pourret), Druce. K. vallesiaca, Gaud. 
Uphill, North Somerset, June 1905. Flowering specimens to 
supplement the examples sent last year. See ‘ Report B.E.C.’ 
1904, p. 37, and ‘Journ. Bot,,’ November 1905. — G. Claridge 
Druce. — A series of specimens also from Uphill and Worle Hill, 
N. Somerset, 7 th July 1905. — Jas. W. White. See ‘Journ. Bot.,’ 
March 1906, p. 103. — Ed. K. valksiana, Asch. and Graeb. — G. C. 
Druce.
