S ummary A randomized block experiment was laid down to compare the morphology of the tetraploid, pentaploid and hexaploid races of Holcus mollis . No qualitative differences have been found to distinguish the races. Quantitative differences exist, but are not sufficiently large to allow a taxonomic separation. The morphology of the pentaploid mollis is discussed in relation to its possible hybrid origin involving H. lanatus .
