panicle becomes pyramidale). The diploid grade Koeleria cristata (L.) PERS. em. BORB. is distributed in the whole of Europe, having been originally a member of oakwoods and steppe meadows. The tetraploid Koeleria majoriflora (BORB.) BORB. inhabits primarily rather closed sand communities, and dolomitic cliff swards in Hungary. The border of range of the two species towards Asia can as yet not been drawn, owing to the lack of herbaria] revisions. Literature data are wholly unreliable, since they list numerous species of a similar stature under the name Koeleria gracilis. Koeleria mollis MANN inhabits Austria, Hungary, Slovakia, Moravia, Bohemia, Germany and Transsylvania. 43. Koeleria mollis MANN ex OPIZ In OPIZ: Beiträge zur Naturgeschichte, Prag, 1824, 7, p. 63.
