SPARGANIUM DIVERSIFOLIUM, VAR. ACAULE IN MASSACHUSETTS.— 
In a preliminary list of New England Sparganiaceae (RHODORA, ix. 
86, May, 1907) Sparganium diversifolium Graebner, var. acaule 
(Beeby) Fernald & Eames was reported from all the New England 
states except Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Late last summer I 
found this Sparganium in Framingham, Mass. ‘There were several 
plants in a muddy brook in a warm, open meadow and they were 
fruiting well. Near by in a shallow pool drained by this stream were 
numerous plants of the species. None of the latter, however, were . 
found in the running water, nor any of the variety in the pool and no 
intermediate forms were observed. With the list the suggestion was 
made that this plant be sought in central and western Massachusetts 
and in northwestern Rhode Island. It now seems that, as this dwarf 
variety has been found somewhat east of the hill country and in the 
midst of sand-plains, it may well be watched for elsewhere in eastern 
Massachusetts and perhaps through Rhode Island.— ARTHUR. J. 
EAMES. 
SALIX INCANA AT CASTINE, MAINE.— Оп Sept. 19, 1906, I collected 
in Castine, Hancock Co., Maine, a willow, which is pronounced by 
Prof. Fernald to whom it has been submitted for identification, Salix 
incana Schrank, a European species that, according tó the Cyclopedia 
of American Horticulture, is cultivated by American Nurserymen. 
The several plants found were growing on a dry natural bank or 
low bluff close by the sea beach. They were spreading and procum- 
bent at their bases with branches rising to 4.5-6 dm.; leaves linear 
or narrowly lanceolate, with margins strongly revolute, and under 
surface densely white-tomentose.— RoBERT А. WARE, Boston. 
Vol. 10, no. 110, including pages 21-36, was issued 12 March, 1908.
