He mentions that the plant produces seed freely in cultivation and 
can be propagated by grafting on Kalmia. 
Dr. Gray mentions the resemblance of some of these petals to fila- 
ments, and says this resemblance goes further, for most of them are 
actually tipped with an imperfect anther. This we did not notice in 
our specimens. 
Undoubtedly this sport is not confined to one locality, and further 
search may reveal other plants of this interesting form.— GEORGE E. 
STONE, Amherst, Massachusetts. 
SCIRPUS LINEATUS IN New HawrsuinE.— On July 20, while col- 
lecting at Manchester, N. H., in a damp field where species and forms 
of Scirpus, especially of the cyperinus group, are abundant, I found a 
single tuft of S. lineatus Michx, not as yet reported, I think, east of 
Vermont. Among indigenous plants of the locality are Lycopodium 
inundatum L., Eleocharis tenuis (Willd.) Schultes., Carex stipata 
Muhl., C. stellulata Good., Juncus filiformis L., Spiranthes cernua 
(L.) Richard., Liparis Loeselii (L.) Richard. and Drosera rotundifolia 
L. Doubtless the species may be found elsewhere in New Hampshire 
where similar ecological conditions prevail.— F. W. BATCHELDER, 
Manchester, New Hampshire.
