only from Boring and St. Paul islands. It was collected by Charles Wright, on 

 the Ringgold and Rogers Expedition, on the adjacent Russian island of Arak'am- 



tschctschene. 



Juncoides divaricatum (Wats.) Proc. Amer. Acad. xiv. 302 (1879), under Luzula. 

 Type locality, "in the Sierra Nevada [California], mostly alpine, from above Mono 

 Liike to Sierra County." 



Dr. Franz Buchenau' has referred this species of Juncoides to J. [Lunula] parviflorum 

 without a varietal designation. It is, however, easily distinguishable from that 

 species, and so far as is at present kuown docs not intergrade with it. Its con- 

 spicuous character, the divaricate inflorescence, docs not always distinguish it from 

 ./. parviflorum, for the same feature sometimes occurs in that species also. But J, 

 divaricatum has a short stature (16 to 23 cm.), a large, full-flowered inflorescence (5 

 to 11 cm. high), and no pilosity whatever upon the leaves. The yearly growth of 

 the rootstocks is short, seldom equaling 1 cm. The perianth parts are much more 

 narrowly acuminate than in J. parvijlortim, and the capsules, not yet mature, are 

 acute. 



The species, in its typical form at least, lias been collected only in the Sierra 

 Nevada. Our specimens grow at timber-line near Mineral King (No. 1542), and 

 therefore at a higher altitude than J. parviflorum, in well-drained granitic soil, shaded 

 by boulders. 



Juncoides parviflorum ( Ehrli. ) Beitr. vi. 139 (1791 ), under Juncus. Typo locality 

 European. This is the Luzula upadicea of most American authors, not of Do Candolle. 

 Near Whitney Meadows iu the Sierra Nevada (No. 1707). 



Juncoides spicatum (L.) Sp. PI. i. 330 (1753), under Juncus; Kuntze, Rev. Gen. 

 PI. ii. 725 (1891). Type locality European. 



This species of Juncoides occurs in the high mountains and arctic region of northern 

 Europe and Asia. In eastern America it ranges from Hudson Bay southward to the 

 White Mountains of New Hampshire, and in the Rocky Mountains from British 

 Columbia southward to Colorado. West of the Rocky Mountain region it has been 

 collected in the mountains of Utah and Nevada, in Kotzebue Sound, and iu Van- 

 couver Island, and now for the first time is reported from the Sierra Nevada of 

 California. It grew at timber-line near Mineral King (No. 1535). 



TYPHACB5!. 



Typha angustifolia L. Sp. PI. ii. 971 (1753). Type locality European. 



This, the cat-tail, is not an abundant plant in the desert marshes, but it occurred 

 sparingly at several points, as follows: at Furnace Creek, Death Valley; in Resting 

 Springs Valley; at Winters's ranch, Pahrump Valley; at Ash Meadows; at Vegas 

 Ranch; in Willow Creek Canon, PanaAint Mountains; on the South Fork of Kern 

 River; in Walker Basin, and at several points in the Tulare Plains. The specimens 

 seen were not always distinguishable from T, lalifolia, so that some of the stations 

 cited may belong really to that species. 



Typha latifolia L. Sp. PI. ii. 971 (1753). Type locality European. 

 This species of cat-tail occurred in the Tulare Plains at several points between 

 Bakers field and Visalia. 



Sparganium minimum Fries. Summ. Veg. 560 (1849). Type locality European. 



In the Devil Hole, Ash Meadows, Nevada (No. 368), and near Whitney Meadows iu 

 the Sierra Nevada (No. 1692). These specimens are without fruit, therefore not 

 positively identifiable, but Dr. Morong considers them probably of this species.
