1906] Meeting of the Botanical Symposium 115« 



ing perigynia gave it a distinctive appearance which would immediately 

 attract a student familiar with the common C. interior of northern New 

 England. Study of the plant shows it to be a very extreme variation 

 of that common species, which, as it ordinarily occurs, has broadly 

 deltoid-ovate wide-spreading perigynia. This peculiar variety in the 

 St. John valley, collected on an excursion of the state botanical 

 society, may appropriately bear the name of John Josselyn, the pioneer 

 botanist of Maine. I therefore propose to call it 



Carex interior Bailey, var. Josselynii, var. nov. Perigyniis 

 lanceolato-subulatis 3 mm. longis 1 mm. latis ascendentibus. 

 Maine, wet sandy shore of the St. John River, Fort Kent, July 6,. 

 1904 {M. L. Fernald). — M. L. Fernald, Gray Herbarium. 



Viola novae-angliae in the Penobscot Valley. — It is with 

 great pleasure that I am able to record the finding of Viola novae- 

 angliae House at Veazie in flower and fruit on June 10 and 23, 1905. 

 Mr. F. ]\f. Billings and I found it growing in crevices of the rocks- 

 along "The Cliffs" near the Penobscot River when it was just passing 

 out of bloom at the first date given and later I collected it in fruit and 

 cleistogamous flower. Specimens have been seen by President Ezra 

 Brainerd who verifies my identification of the plant. — Ora W. 

 Knight, Bangor, Maine.
