FLORA OF WARWICKSHIRE. 
83 
Y ar. fa l lax. Rare. 
I. Earlswood Reservoir, 1883 ; canal siding near Hockley. 
This was named for me by Prof. Haekel, of St. Poelton, and will, I 
think, be found more common than now appears when better known. 
Var. lonyi-aristata , Haekel, il I.S. 
This was sent to Prof. Haekel in 1882 and was considered by him 
to be new as a variety ; it grew fairly abundant near Combe Abbey in 
1880, but I could not find it again this year, so that it may be, as since 
suggested by Prof. Haekel, an accidental form. It is noticeable for 
the very long awn, longer even than the flowering glumes. 
F. elatior, Linn. Tall Fescue Grass. 
Native: On roadsides and near canals in marly soils. Local and 
rare. June, July.

roadsides between Redhill and Stratford-on-Avon; canal banks 
near Wilmcote and near Rowington; Catliiron Lane and canal

that variety.
