green ; it is P. 7 iemoralis — vulgaris, Gaud. — E. H. I have just 
the same glaucous form growing in shady places in Mag. Coll, 
grounds, Oxford. — G. C. Druce. 
Festuca heterophylla, Lam. Wilcote, Oxon, July 1908. Quite 
abundant in a plantation. Here its indigenity is, of course, greatly 
open to doubt, since planted shrubs, &c., are frequent ; and the whole 
of the present woodland is artificial. It is in the ancient Wychwood 
area ; but I have been unable as yet to see any trace of the grass in 
the aboriginal w’oodland. — G. Claridge Druce. Yes.— E. Hackel. 
F. elatior, L., a form or state [ref. No. 3237]. Stony ground 
near Loch Assynt, Inchnadamph, v.-c. 108, W. Sutherland, 
13 July 1908. Inflorescence often tinged with red-brown; plant 
reduced in size. I suspect that the situation alone caused the 
difference. — E. S. Marshall. F. elatior, sub-species pratensis 
(Huds.) Hack. — E. Hackel. 
F. ciliata, Danth. On the Railway, Newhaven, E. Sussex,' 
July 1908. Alien. — T. Hilton. This name is invalidated by 
F. ciliata,\Axik (1799), a well-known Portuguese and Spanish grass 
{ = F. alopecurus, Schrad.). Asch. et Graebn. have created the 
new name F. Danthonii ; I prefer with Briquet the name F. barbata. 
Gaud., ‘El. Helv. I.,' 274 (1828). See Hack, et Briq. in ‘Ann. 
Conserv. et Jard. bot. Geneve,’ p. 80 (1907). — E. Hackel. Mr. 
Hilton showed it me this year, when it was in great abundance. — 
G. C. D. 
Loliurn perenne, L., var. multiflorum, forma. Growing most 
luxuriantly on sewage-tip near Bradford, Yorks, 300 ft., July 1908. — 
J. Cryer. Z. multiflorum, Lam., forma c?-istata, Timm., in 
‘ Deutsch. IV.,’ p. clxix. (1887). — E. Hackel. 
Bromus tectorum, L. Whitehawk Down, Brighton, E. Sussex, 
Aug. 1908. Alien. — T. Hilton. Yes. — E. Hackel. 
Agropyron repens, Beauv., var. barbatum Duval Jouve(!) 
Malpas station, Cheshire, 15th Aug. 1908. Varieties with con- 
spicuous awns to the palas are not uncommon ; but all I have seen 
hitherto have been large coarse plants, often growing under hedges. 
These which were growing in cindery ballast were in tufts rather like 
those of Lolium italicuni ; and not only the habit, but the general 
colouring were quite unlike any form of A. repens I have observed 
before. They were rather dark, almost shining green, and, as a rule, 
showed no trace of running at the root. — A. H. Wolley-Dod. 
Why not A. caninum, Beauv. ? — E. S. M. Is A. repens, Beauv., 
var. Leersianum, Reichb. — E. Hackel.
