REPORT FOR 1907.

Alopecurus fuhnis, Sm. f. bearing anthers, first whitish, then 
dull orange. Pool side, Sellack, Herefordshire, 20th June 1907. — 
Augustin Ley. A. fiilvus, Sm. — E. Hackel. i.e. A. cequalis, 
Sobol. — H. J. R. 
Phleum pratense, L., var. stolofiiferum, Bab. Kewsholt, N. 
Lincoln, loth August 1907 . — Augustin Ley. 
P. nodosum, L. Sand dunes at Meols, Cheshire, 7th August 
1907, Ref. No. 1641. This is, I think, our usual Phleu 77 i of dry 
barren places, and is perhaps not worth distributing. — A. H. 
Wolley-Dod, Correct; but it is a variety of P. prate 7 ise, L., not 
a species. — E. S. M. 
Agrostis vulgaris. With., var. pu 77 iila (Linn.). On the disused 
roadway and refuse heaps at the Swithland Quarries, Leicestershire, 
7th August 1907. This is a new County record for this pretty form 
of Agrostis. When conducting the Botanical Excursion of the 
British Association on Charnwood Forest, I noticed a few plants 
at Bardon Hill ; and subsequently a good patch or two were found 
in Swithland Wood. — W. Bell. Correct ; but it is not a genuine 
variety, only a diseased (fungoid) condition. Rev. W. R. Linton 
tested it in his garden at Shirley, and it at once reverted to type. 
It is accordingly omitted from the new edition of ‘ Lond. Cat.' — 
E. S. M. A. te 7 iuis, Sibth. — H. J. R. 
A. tc 7 i 7 iis, Sibth., var, piwiila (Linn.). Yeldersley fields, S. 
Derbs., wild 1906, the same cult. August 1907. It is, I imagine, 
well known, since Mr. E. S. Salmon’s investigations, that A . p 7 i 77 iila 
is merely a state of the type caused by the attack of a fungus. I 
brought some of the variety into the garden, and the result is well 
seen in the specimens sent. It appears to have quite got rid of 
the fungoid invader. A. p 7 i 77 iila, therefore, as a variety falls. — 
W. R. Linton. 
Deyeuxia, sp. This is the plant which appears in our lists 
ViS JDeyeuxia si 7 'igosa, Kunth. = Cala 77 iagrosiis sirioosa,'iH^nm. This, 
or allied forms, occur in several localities in Caithness. Robert 
Dick first found it by Loch Duran, which has since been drained. 
At first I believe it was named C. lapponica, but afterwards it was 
referred to C. stricta {^Deyeuxia 7 iegkcta), until Mr. Arth. Bennett 
named it in after years as C. strigosa. Subsequently Professor 
Hackel named some plants collected by me from Loch Duran-side, 
the locality being a small marsh (a relic of the Loch), which will 
soon be destroyed. This year I have sent Prof Hackel specimens 
from Grant’s original locality near Loch Duran, some from my own 
locality about half a mile away, as well as specimens identical with 
these which were gathered near Loch Watten (where it is abundant),
