SOME NOTEWORTHY PLANTS OF SOUTHEASTERN 
CONNECTICUT. 
C. B. GRAVES. 
Tur following notes are offered as a contribution to our knowledge 
of geographical distribution. Many of the species named have not 
yet obtained recognition as New Englanders. 
EQUISETUM PALUSTRE L. — A northern plant not hitherto reported, 
so far as I am aware, south of northern Maine and the Vermont shore 
of Lake Champlain. It was found by me in the summers of 1897 and 
1898, growing in fair abundarice in the wet meadows bordering Selden's 
Cove, on the Connecticut River, in the town of Lyme, about ten or 
twelve miles from the shore of Long Island Sound. 
PANICUM LONGIFOLIUM Torr. — In going over my Panicums a year 
or two ago, I came across several specimens of this species collected 
in Montville in September, 1882. I have not met with it since. I 
believe it has not been recorded north of New Jersey. 
PANICUM BARBULATUM Michx. — Is abundant throughout this part 
of the state, growing along streams and in wet meadows. 
ORYZOPSIS JUNCEA (Michx.) B. S. P. (O. canadensis Torr.) — 
Occurs sparingly in pine woods near the shore of the Thames River, 
twelve miles from its mouth, in the town of Preston, which is south of 
its range as usually given. i 
AGROSTIS INTERMEDIA Scribner. — In Britton and Brown's Illus- 
trated Flora the distribution accorded this species is “New York to 
Tennessee and Missouri." It is a common grass in this vicinity in 
dry woodlands. 
SIEGLINGIA SESLERIOIDES (Michx.) Scribner (7riodia cuprea Jacq.). 
Another species not recorded, I believe, from New England except in 
the appendix to Gray’s manual, 6th ed., and in Bishop’s Catalogue of 
Connecticut Plants. It was found by the writer in 1887 at Crescent
