REPORT FOR 1906. 
247 
C. Oederi, Ehrh. Shore of Llyn Helyg, Flintshire, 25th Aug. 
1906. Leg. A. A. Dallman. New to v.-c. 51 (?). It is confined to 
a very small portion of the shore and occurs in a very dwarf state 
only. — J. A. Wheldon. I should name this C. cyperoides^ Marss. 
= C. chrysites, Link — W. R. L. C. Oederi^ Ehrh.— G. C. Druce. 
C. hirta, L., var. hirtcBpormis (Pers.). Edge of damp shrubbery, 
Malvern, Worcester, 8th July 1906. — S. H. Bickham. “This is 
var. spinosa, Mortensen, having long-awned glumes. In other 
respects it comes near the state called var. hirtcepormis ; but some 
of the leaves are thinly hairy. — E. S. Marshall.” — I am responsible 
and not Mr. Bickham lor the name on the label ; in the distinguish- 
ing characters of C. hirtceformis it comes very close to that form, in 
fact it combines the features of two vars. — W. R. L. 
C. rostrata, Stokes, var. involuta (Bab.). Abundant by Lake 
Fawnog, near Colwyn, N. Denbigh, June 1906. — C. Bailey. 
“ Babington’s C. involuta is, I believe, C. rostrata x vesicaria ; the 
present plant being a narrow-leaved form of C. rostrata^ which 
grows plentifully at Wybunbury Bog, Cheshire, and was mistaken by 
me for C. involuta^ — E. S. Marshall. C. anipullacea, about 
typical. For a description of C. involuta see ‘ Flora of Cheshire,’ 
P- 337 -— W. R. L. 
Panicum sanguinale, L. On the rubbish heaps at Iver, Bucks, 
Sept. 1906. — G. Claridge Druce. 
Phalaris canariensis, L. Sewage Works, Leicester, v.-c. 55, 
July 1906. H. P. Reader and W. Bell. These fine plants had 
cylindrical spikes, 2 in. and over in length. The usual form of the 
infloresence is ovate. The glumes are rather narrower than type. 
Is it a special form or only slightly off type ? — W. Bell. “ I 
believe that Phalaris 7 ninor comes very near P. canariensis. This 
may be the former, but I do not properly understand them.” — E. S. 
Marshall. “ I think this must be referred to P. canariensis since 
the wing to the glume is entire, not, as in P. minor, toothed. 
I have seen similar plants with the cylindric panicle from cornfields 
in Devon. — G. Claridge Druce. 
P . minor, Retz., Obs. iii., p. 8, 1779 — 91. In cultivated 
ground and in waste places, St. Luke’s. Jersey, June 1906. Also at 
La Perelle, Guernsey. I should have only called it a colonist in 
either Island. In Dalla Torre’s ‘ Farn-und Blutenpflanzen von 
Tirol,’ the plant is called P. brachystachys, Lihk, but in Richter 
‘ PI. Europ.,’ and in ‘ Index Kewensis,’ P. f?iinor, it is kept distinct ; 
In ‘Nyman Conspectus,’ p. 791, brachystachys is also kept distinct, 
and canariensis put under it as a sub-species, even if synonymous 
P . minor is the earlier name. — G. Claridge Druce.
