A final decision can naturally be made only after the study of live specimens and a cytogenetic analysis. Until that time, however, I cannot regard it as anything else but a variety, possessing only initial trichomes, similar to Koeleria cristata (L.) PERS. em. BORE, var glabrescens UJH., present also in other localities (Pl. I. Fig. 2). Therefore Koeleria genevensis DOMIN (Syn. : Koeleria pyramidata (LAM.) DOM. subsp. genevensis (DOMIN) SCHINZ & KALL, HEGI, G. : Illustrierte Flora von Mitteleuropa, I. Bd., zweite Auflage, 1935. p. 380) equals Koeleria mollis MANN var. genevensis (DOM.) UJH. combinatio nova. The epidermal structure of the underside of the innovational leaves is shown in Pl. II. Fig. 1, 2. XVI. Series Grandes ÚJHELYI series nova Rhizomatibus ramosis longe prorepentibus. culmis robustis insuper puberidis. foliis planis, puberidis, vaginis dense pubescentibus. paniculis elongatis. lobatis? glumis lemmisque acutis. The two species of the series were hitherto recorded in literature partly as Koeleria polonica DOM., partly as Koeleria grandis (BESSER) DOM., but these names contained both species. K. DOMIN established the II. Sectio Caespitosae 3. Subsectio Pseudore pentes for those plants whose lower, rhizoma-like shoot-parts are horizontally decumbent, pseudo-stolonic. Owing to the extravaginal innovation, their bases are loose, in contrast with the plants having a short rhizome, intra vaginal innovation, and which are densely cespitose. Naturally, there is no genetic connection between this stature and the evolutional relationship of the plants, as repeatedly pointed out in my preceding papers. The Series Javorkae UJH., is a case in point. The species of this group increase also extravaginally, they are therefore pseudo-stolonic. At the same time, K. DOMIN identified Koeleria javorkae UJH. as Koeleria gracilis PERS. var. typica DOMIN. DOMIN failed to observe the short stolos of the plants belonging to that group, otherwise he would have described them as distinct species not under the Cristatae verae but in the Pseudorepentes. Doubtless, there are also other similarities between the Series Javorkae UJH. and the Series Grandes UJH.: the species of both series are definitely gracile, their panicles elongate, cylindrical, interrupted. Similarities exist also in the structure of their leaf epiderm ; with cork-cells present in the costal zone of their juvenile leaves. The Series Javorkae UJH. differs, however, from the Series Grandes UJH., in the members of the former group having only minute macro-hairs and lacking cilia. This is why V. JANKA called Koeleria jankae UJH. as Koeleria gracilis PERS. var. glabra. The other species of DOMIN'S subsectio Pseudorepentes. described with one exception from Asia Minor and Asia, are unknown to me. The progenitors of the Series Grandes should doubtless be looked for in East Europe or West Asia. The Series Grandes shows some similarity in certain respects also with the Series Pubiculmis UJH. The members of the latter Series inhabit the Carpathians. The similarity is partly habitual (elongate panicle) partly morphological (puberulous culm, pubescent sheath and leaves). A certain similarity appears also in the epidermal structure of the leaves. As in the Carpathian species, the cork-cells appear also in the members of the Series Pubiculmis UJH. On the other hand, there is a
