Roy Maycock, county plant recorder for Buckinghamshire, has been
checking a specimen we have in the county museum labelled
Deschampsia
danthonioides. However, neither he nor I can find any other
references to this species. It isn't included in the usual
checklists/books, nor is it in the MapMate or Recorder database
species dictionaries.

It is referred to on the NBN species dictionary website, at:
http://snipurl.com/qufk

but it's not on the NBN gateway.

Is there a synonym for this species, or is it a recent addition to
the UK lists? How can we check its determination?

Thanks,
