228 x Rhodora [SEPTEMBER 
for mention last year. This year it was conspicuous in early August 
in various places. 
The thirty-three species of Boleti so far seen at Alstead, besides 
a few forms not yet satisfactorily placed, are to be found fruiting 
almost at the same time. In fact, a year ago, twenty-five species 
were assembled in one day's collecting. As the localities where each 
kind may be expected with certainty become better known, it may 
well be possible in a good season to bring all the July and August 
species together in a fresh state. 
NEW STATIONS FOR JUNCUS SUBTILIS. 
M. L. FERNALD. 
IN September, 1897, a very slender strongly proliferous Juncus 
was found in abundance in shallow water of Mattawamkeag Lake, 
. Aroostook County, Maine. Except for its nodulose leaves and 
crimson color the plant resembled the well-known floating state of 
Eleocharis acicularis; and as is usually the case with the submersed 
Eleocharis the Juncus was entirely sterile. Subsequently the plant 
was collected in pools by the St. John River at Van Buren, but at 
this station only sterile specimens were seen. 
On the tenth of August last (1901) the same slender floating 
form of the plant was found in a quiet pool or “bogan” of the St. 
John River at Fort Kent, Maine. All the submersed plants were 
sterile, but those which had become stranded upon the muddy shore 
showed a tendency to flower. These stranded individuals were 
strongly repent; and they so closely resembled the matted plants of 
Ranunculus Flammula, var. reptans, with which they grew, that only 
the most back-breaking and eye-straining scrutiny would reveal them. 
The combined search of Mr. E. F. Williams, Dr. B. L. Robinson 
and the writer during a large part of the afternoon and much of the 
next forenoon was rewarded by perhaps sixty fertile plants. Of these, 
however, only a small proportion were yet in flower, and none were 
in fruit. 
A comparison of the flowering material collected at Fort Kent 
shows it to be identical with the plant found in 1871 by the late 
Charles E. Smith at the margin of Brassua Lake, Somerset County,
