1902] Bissell, — Noteworthy Plants of Connecticut 99 



Mr. L. Andrews and the writer at Enfield. At the Sonthington 

 station it is found growing with the common Ground Pine but appar- 

 ently quite distinct and showing no intergrading forms. The spores 

 are matured much earlier than in the Ground Pine, the fruiting 

 spikes being well developed in the latter part of June. 



Avena striata Michx. Limestone ledges with cold northern expo- 

 sure, Salisbury. This northern species is reported in Bishop's Cata- 

 logue to have been collected in Norwich, but Dr. C. P. Graves of 

 New London who has given much study to the grasses of that section 

 informs me he believes that report to be an error. 



Carex littora/is, Schwein. Swampy upland woods, East Windsor. 

 Not previously known from New England, the nearest reported 

 station being on Long Island. Its occurrence at this station in the 

 Connecticut valley, fifty miles from the coast, would suggest that it 

 might be a survival from the time when a part of the Connecticut 

 valley was at a lower level and covered by the sea. 



/uncus Canadensis, J. Gay, var. subcaudatus, Englm. Wet thickets, 

 Southington ; bank of Whalebone Creek, Lyme. 



/uncus tenius, Willd. var. IVi/liamsii, Fernald. Wet ground border 

 of lake, Salisbury. 



Salix longtfolia, Muhl. Bank of the Connecticut River, Glaston- 

 bury. A common species by the river further north but so far as 

 known not before reported from Connecticut. 



Phaseolus perennis, Walt. Since the publication of my note on 

 this species in Rhodora 4 : 13 January, 1902, Mr. George P. Ells of 

 Norwalk, Connecticut, has written me that the plant was collected 

 there by Miss Mary D. Lockwood in 1898, and that he has since seen 

 it from another station in the vicinity. Mr. Ells noted this collection 

 in the Correspondence Bulletin of the Gray Mem. Bot. Chapter for 

 May, 1901. 



This note unfortunately did not come to my notice and the 

 Correspondence Bulletins have never been published. 



Callitriche Austin/', Englm. Discovered by Mr. L. Andrews and the 

 writer in moist woods in hard soil, along an old highway, Southing- 

 ton. Also collected by the w r riter in a similar habitat, Branford. 

 An interesting article by Dr. E. H. Eames, about this rare species is 

 found in Rhodora, April, 1901. Dr. Eames supposes the plant to 

 be confined to the immediate vicinity of the coast, but the station at 

 Southington is twenty-five miles inland.
