Apparently more northern in its distribution than var. solutus. 
Very variable, especially as to the culms which are either slender or 
coarse, strongly sulcate or nearly smooth, but all the forms intimately 
connected by intermediates. The variety may be recognized most

petals) which usually exceeds the capsule and contrasts in color with 
it. When present, the coarse sulcate striations of the culm are also 
characteristic. The sheaths are in color more like those of var. 
deci piens. 
CRATAEGUS VIRIDIS L. IN VIRGINIA. 
W. W. EGGLESTON. 
Crataegus viridis was first reported from Virginia by John Clayton 
but until recently had been seen by no one since Clayton's time, one 
hundred and seventy-five years ago. 
In 1907 I saw, in the United States National Herbarium, a specimen 
of L. F. Ward's labeled “Crataegus coccinea, Chesapeake City, Md., 
May 12, 1877.” This proved to be C. viridis L. and I so reported it 
in Gray's New Manual. 
Last year I wrote Professor Ward to find out more in regard to the 
station and received this answer: — “I have looked up my notes for
