1910} Fernald and Wiegand,— Botanizing in Maine 137 
Juncus picHoromus Ell, var. PLATYPHYLLUS Wiegand, reported 
in RHODORA xi. 42, from southern Maine (i. e. upon specimens col- 
lected at Wells by Miss Furbish) was found on sand at Falmouth, Me., 
and later in abundance on the edge of a ditch in a boggy swamp at 
Pembroke, Me., thus extending its range eastward along the coast 
nearly to the New Brunswick border. 
Juncus VasEvr Engelm., formerly known in New England only 
from the Upper St. John Valley, Orono and Clifton in the Penobscot 
Valley, and the region of Rangeley Lakes, was found forming a few 
broad stools at the border of a ditch in a boggy meadow near Ayer's 
Junction, Pembroke. 
Juncus articulatus X brevicaudatus. A colony of plants found 
in a wet mossy spot on the Charlotte Road, Pembroke, Maine, was 
infertile and in its inflorescence combined the characteristics of these 
two common species, some of the inflorescences having 2—4-flowered 
glomerules, others having them many-flowered. 
HABENARIA FIMBRIATA (Ait) R. Br. On the meadows along 
Hamilton Brook, Lubec, Maine, this species is abundant and there 
exhibits a remarkable range of variation in the form of the lip. 
A series of specimens was collected showing the middle lobe of the lip 
varying in every conceivable degree from broadly fan-shaped with 
conspicuously fimbriate margin to cuneate-oblanceolate with barely 
erose tips. No other species of Habenaria was observed in the region. 
SALIX PETIOLARIS Sm., var. ANGUSTIFOLIA Anders. ‘This variety, 
which is usually a low shrub with tufted branchlets and comparatively 
short narrow entire or sub-entire leaves, is more common in eastern 
and northern Maine than the typical form of the species which has 
the mature leaves (7-12 cm. long) conspicuously toothed. Forms of 
the variety with either glabrate or permanently sericeous leaves are 
common. i 
SALIX SMITHIANA Willd. is a common tree willow of roadsides, hedge- 
rows, etc. in southeastern Washington County, Maine (noted in the 
towns of Eastport, Lubec, and Pembroke). It has spread freely and 
is now thoroughly established in some places in swampy thickets where 
it is seen growing among native species. | 
COMANDRA LIVIDA Richardson. On the heath at the base of West ` 
Quoddy Head, Lubec, Maine. All the plants examined were sterile, 
as were those found at Roque Bluffs by Mr. C. H. Knowlton (see. 
Rnopona ix. 219).
