ocrnotes:Dadylis glomerata v. congesta, Coss. and Germ. Great Orme's Head, July, 1884. J. E. Griffith. A single specimen on which Professor Hackel reports--"Quite right. D. glomerata var. abbrevlata, Drcj. = D. abbreviata, Bernh. ap. Link Hort. Ber. I. 153 maybe an older synonym, but it seems to indicate a littoral form, not one of high mountains. The diagnosis agrees well."
