above Gloucester, v.-c. 33. The vice-countv is E. Gloster, not W. 
Gloster, as was stated in ‘Journ. Bot.,’ 1909, p. 73. It occurs in great 
quantity in at least two extensive brickpits at Sandhurst. Further 
search may establish its occurrence up the Severn in other spots. 
It is not likely to be introduced in this locality : its surroundings 
are against that idea. The only difficulty in the way of accepting 
it as native is that it was not discovered till 1908. — H. J. Riduels-

I. 418. .A.ehrchen 2 bis 3 (bis 4) bliithig. effusa. Locker. Stengel 
und Laubtriebe diinn, ziemlich lang niederliegend. Rispe locker, 
die Rispenaste ziemlich diinn, verlangert, meist nicht uber 8 
Aehrchen tragend. Aehrchen klein, meist 3-bliithig. Nicht selten 
an wassenziigigen Orten. This is the description of the above grass 
from Aschers. and Graebner. — H. J. Riddelsdell. 
Glyceria festuciformis, Heyn., var. This plant grew in con- 
siderable quantity on the western side of Strangford Lough, Co. 
Down, near Killelagh, Aug. 1909. It differs from the continental 
type, approaching, says Prof. Hackel, the plant he has named in 
litt. Atropis Foucaudii, but it differs from the French Foucaudii by 
the somewhat convolute leaves, smaller and more contracted 
panicle with fewer spikelets, and appears to be a distinct local form, 
to which the varietal name hibernica may be given. — G. C. Druce. 
Glyceria festuciformis, Heynh. On shore of Strangford 
Lough, Delamont, Co. Down, Aug. 9, 1909. — C. H. Waddell. 
Glyceria Borreri^ Bab. Cardiff Docks, v.-c. 41, June, 1905. 
— H. J. Riddelsdell. We think correct. — A. Ley, S. H. Bick- 
ham, E. S. Marshal!-. Yes. — E. Hackel. 
Festuca heterophylla, Lam. By the Tweed, about two miles 
below Peebles, Aug. 1909. I am not certain whether this has 
been previously published as occurring in Scotland. Mr. Brothers- 
ton found it many years ago by the roadside near Kelso (see Herb. 
Brit. Mus.). He says probably Alien, since it was included in 
certain Seed Lists ; thus supporting Mr. Carruthers’ statement that 
it was a commercial grass, which is challenged in ‘Flora of Hamp- 
shire,’ p. 506, 1904. Here in the Peebles’ station its indigenity 
was made suspicious by the presence of planted shrubs, &c., 
although thoroughly established and likely to spread. — G. C. 
Druce. This species was found near Kelso, many years since. 
From its geographical distribution, an unlikely native of Scotland.
