NOTES ON PLANTS OF CHESTERVILLE, MAINE. 
Lintuian O. Eaton. 
In addition to the interesting plants of Chesterville already reported’, 
the following, perhaps worthy of note, have been found in this vicinity, 
during the past few seasons. The grasses and sedges were collected 
and determined by Mrs. Agnes Chase of the Department of Agricul- 
ture at Washington, in the summer of 1906; the remaining plants, 
unless otherwise stated, being the collections of the writer. For aid 
in final identification of various species I. am indebted to Dr. D. W. 
Fellows, Mr. A. A. Eaton, and Professor M. L. Fernald. 
Oxalis Acetosella L., var. subpurpurascens DC. A few plants of this 
variety were found in a cedar swamp, among a thick colony of the 
species, by Mrs. Chase and the writer, July 3, 1906. The variety 
differed from the typical O. Acetosella only in a whitish appearance 
of the foliage and in the color of the petals, the latter being wholly a 
purplish-pink. After identifying the plants, Mr. Fernald writes: ‘‘I 
have known this variety in America only from Manchester, Vermont." 
Lysimachia thyrsiflora L. Fence-row, in damp soil, July, 1906 
(F. J. Keyes). 
Sabbatia campestris Nutt. A single well flowered plant was found, 
September, 1906, on ground left fallow for a season. 
Spiranthes Romanzoffiana Cham. Roadside ditch, August, 1906. 
Also found in a field, August 14, 1902, by C. H. Knowlton (See Ames, 
Orchidaceae, fase. i. 139). 
Scheuchzeria palustris L. Abundant on one bog, August, 1904. 
Carex pauciflora Lightf. Plentiful on two bogs, July and August, 
1904.
