to size of the glumes than in the type, and curving outwards. See 
Sinclair, ‘ Hort. Gram. Woburn.’ pp. 195 — 197. Mr. Sinclair grew 
both this var. and the type together, and found the distinctive 
characters constant. The plants sent were in full flower, as several 
shew, on Aug. 15th this year. — L. Cummings. Only a robust 
specimen of typical P. pratense, L. — E. Hackel. 
Anthoxafithiun aristatuvi, Boiss. Hedge-bank, Leatherhead, 
Surrey, 8ih Aug. 1908. Usually not persistent in its habitats in 
England, and chiefly occurs, I believe, in jiastures. May it not 
spread to hedge-banks and become permanent, as it certainly seemed 
to be in this station? — C. E. Salmon. Yes. — E. Hackel. 
Agrostis nigra (?). South Knighton, Leicester, Aug. 1908. 
This has been referred to the above, in its general characters it 
agrees with specimens I hold under that name, but in habit it is 
much more procumbent. — \W Bell. Not A. nigra, Will., but a 
form of A. alba, L.— G. C. Dkuce. A. alba, L., var. prorepens, 
Koch. — E. H.\ckel. 
Calamagrostis canescens, Uruce. In considerable quantity, for 
some distance, in marshy places along the bottom of Raincliff Wood, 
Scarborough, July 1908. — J. Crver. = C. lanceolata, Roth. — 
K H. These names are synonymous, but Calamagrostis canescens, 
Gmel.^ retains the earliest trivial known to me. — G. C. Uruce. 
Koehleria britannica, Domin. Heathy ground near Aviemore, 
E. Inverness-shire, July 1908. Leg. A. Wilson and J. A. Wheldon 
YonwTX, glabriflor a, Domin in lit. This is an approach to K. gracilis 
typica, and really very little distinct from it. — E. Hackel. 
Molinia ccerulea, Moench, var. major, Roth. Rough pasture 
on Walton Moor, North Somerset, 15th Sept. 1908. — J. W. White. 
This is var. gennina, Syme (var. major, Roth.) is a form with long 
spreading panicle-branches, while the present specimen shews the 
panicle coarctata which Linnaeus attributes to his true ccerulea . — 
E. Hackel. 
Poa nemoralis, L., var. glaiica, DC. (non Ah). Meole Brace, 
Shrewsbury, July 1908. A glaucus strong-growing form which 
1 found in July 1908, under a wall covered with a thick growth of 
ivy, and to some extent under shade. The ordinary form of typical 
nemoralis grew in profusion in beech shade some little distance 
away. 1 have compared this with the many named forms I jiossess 
from various parts of the Sub-Arctic region, and can And nothing 
nearer than De Candolle’s glaiica (‘ Nyman’s Consp. FI. Eur.,’ 
p. 834). I hope to obtain more specimens next season. — J. Cosmo 
Melvill. The dried specimen looks not at all glaucous, but fairly
