to the agrostologist, as well as to other botanists. The grasses com- 
posing this collection are in exceptionally good condition for system- 
atic work, and in many instances the series of varying forms seems to 
be well represented, so that the specimens will certainly prove valu- 
able for future study. 
Panicum capillare minus Muhl. Gram. Descr. 124 (1817). 
Damp places near Rathdrum, Kootenai County; July 25 (No. 718). 
Panicum pubescens Lam. Encycl. iv, 748 (1797). 
Shores at Farmington Landing, Lake Coeur d’Alene; July 11 (No. 616). Sandy 
soil, valley of Caur d’Alene River, Kootenai County; July 13 (No.643). Hope, 
shore of Lake Pend d’Oreille; August 24 (No. 948). 
All of the forms represented by these numbers have heretofore been referred 
to the ambiguous species, Panicum dichotomum L. 
Panicum scoparium Lam. Encycl. iv, 744 (1797). 
Frequent on sandy soil, valley of Clearwater River, Nez Perces County; June2 
(No. 296). 
Phalaris arundinacea L. Sp. Pl. i, 55 (1753). 
Alluvial soil, Farmington Landing, Lake Cour d’Alene, July 5 (No. 563). 
Aristida fasciculata fendleriana (Steud.) Vasey, Contr. Nat. Herb. ii, 515 (1894), 
River banks, Spokane Bridge, 18 miles east of Spokane, Washington; August 16 
(No. 906). 
This is one of the forms of the variable Aristida fasciculata Torr. (4. pur- 
purea Nutt.) and approaches most nearly to the variety fendleriana; but the 
range of that variety, as known heretofore, does not extend north of Colorado 
and Utah. 
Stipa comata Trin. & Rupr. Mem. Acad. St. Pet. ser. 6, v, 75 (1849). 
Sandy soil, scarce, valley of Clearwater River, Nez Perces County; June 2 
(No. 293). 
Stipa viridula Trin. Bull. Sci. Acad. St. Pet. i, 67 (1836). 
Sandy soil on Hellgate River, Bonner, Missoula County, Montana; August 30 
(No. 986). 
Alopecurus californicus Vasey, Bull. Torr. Club xv, 13 (1888). 
Wet meadows, head of Little Potlatch River, Latah County; June 16 (Nos. 
396, 415). 
This robust, leafy grass is apparently as promising for cultivation in moist 
meadows as the European foxtail, Alopecurus pratensis, from whieh it differs 
chiefly in its looser spikes with smaller spikelets. 
Alopecurus geniculatus fulvus (Smith) Scribu. Mem. Torr. Club, v, 38 (1894); 4. 
fulvus Smith, Engl. Bot, t. 1467 (1793); A. geniculatus aristulatus (Mx.) Torr. FI. 
U.S. 1, 97 (1824); A. aristulatus Mx. V1. i, 43 (1808). 
Along creeks, valley of Lake Pend d’Oreille; August 23 (No. 947). 
Polypogon monspeliensis (L.) Desf. Fl. Alt. i, 67 (1798); Alopecurus monspeliensis L, 
Sp. Pl. i, 89 (1753). 
Sandy soil, near Spokane, Washington; August 17 (No. 920). 
Cinna pendula glomerula Scribner, Proc, Acad. Phila, 1884, 290 (1884). 
Along creeks near Rathdrum, Kootenai County, July 25 (No. 724). 
This is a robust form with rough sheaths and leaves nearly 1 em. wide, and 
with the florets nearly sessile in the numerous small spikelets, which are some- 
what crowded in clusters along the rays of the ample panicle. 
Agrostis exarata Trin. Dis. Unif. 207 (1824). 
Bottom lands, valley of Coeur d’Alene River, Kootenai County ; July 13 (No. 646). 
Wet places, valley of Traille River, Kootenai County; August 9 (No. 883).
