The note does not make sense to me?

[Mike d'Apice]

There is a Koeleria vallesciana (Honck.) Bertol. so possibly:"This specimen is not vallesciana but the talles(t?) one of this date" though can't see what difference the height would make as both K v and K m are supposed to be 10-40cms!

The note says "...... the taller one [i.e. specimen] of this date is [K. vallesiana]". See http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/291386/
