Cabin v upper Dump Pool. Particle (o.t.s.) spreading and
plant mistaken for A. hygans the branches quite
v less diffuse, but the back awn is unmistakable
even today, projecting 1mm or more beyond tip
of H. All blades v even the upper blade only a little more
than 1mm wide at most. Ligule 1-2 mm long.

7-24-37 ? Agrostis perennans Tuckerm G/133, BvBI 206
(or poss A. Schweinitzian Tein BvBI 206 which first is
inc. in A. perennans G/133) This is the weak lax
grass, decumbent, with its ample silvery-green panicle
(fls not yet open) still included at base in upper
leaf-sheath. It suggests at first a former early stage of
A. hygans but the longer awns (to 3½ mm) bro. giving
it a quite diff. look seems to preclude this. Also particle
has branches divided down to or even below middle
caplets numerous. It very likely could look
much like BvB'silly A perennans when open.
Spikets of this and A. hygans and A. canina (except
for awns) show no marked differences to R.B.T.
Ligule fully 3 mm or more. (Too long for A. Schweinitzii
are 1½ BvB) Somt differing in this from A. hygans
