1902] Graves, — Noteworthy Plants of Southeastern Conn. 27 



* Puccinellia angustata (R. Br.) Scribn. Blackhall River, Old 

 Lyme, June, 1900, growing in tufts in the narrow border of salt 

 marsh. A northern species not hitherto reported, I believe, 

 south of the coast of Maine. 



* Spartina juncca (Michx.) Willd. (S. caespitosa A. A. Eaton). 

 Edge of salt marsh, Groton. 



* Elymus htrsutiglumis Scribn. Banks of Connecticut River near 

 Deep River. 



* Elymus robustus Scribn. & Sm. Frequent in sandy soils, valleys 

 of Thames and Shetucket Rivers. 



* Ekocharispalustris var. vigens Bailey. In shallow water, Dodge's 

 Pond, East Lyme. This form, long known in Maine and Ver- 

 mont, has not to my knowledge been recorded from any other 

 New England state. 



* * Carex nigro-marginata Schwein. Rare among loose rocks, Lan- 



tern Hill, North Stonington. 



* /uncus tenuis var. anthelatus Wiegand. Not rare in sandy soil. 

 New London and Groton. 



* * /uncus brachycarpus Engelm. Near Ocean Beach, New London, 



in partially reclaimed salt marsh. 



Dcsmodium humifusum Beck. This species was reported by 

 the writer and listed in the "Additions" to Bishop's Catalogue 

 of Conn. Plants, 1898, but, as it has seemed since, upon insuffi- 

 cient grounds. It was therefore omitted from the last edition of 

 the Catalogue, 1901. The collection this past season of a fuller 

 series of more mature specimens and comparison with material 

 in the Gray Herbarium leave no doubt of the correctness of 

 the original determination. The species should accordingly be 

 restored to its place in the Connecticut Flora. The specimens 

 cited come from a very small patch in dry woodland near this 

 city, which is the only station known to me. It is apparently one 

 of the rarest of the Desmodiums. 



* Utricularia resupinata B. D. Greene. This delicate little blad- 

 derwort was discovered last July growing sparingly along the 

 margin of one of the ponds in East Lyme. 



* Utricularia bifiora Lam. In shallow water, pond on Poquonnoc 

 Plain, Groton. 



•* Nymphaea rcniformis DC. (JV. tuberosa Paine). Still deep 

 water of Seidell's Cove, Lyme. Discovered in Aug., 1901, by
