1911} Fernald,— Notes from the Phaenogamic Herbarium — 177 
NOTES FROM THE PHAENOGAMIC HERBARIUM OF THE 
NEW ENGLAND BOTANICAL CLUB,— II. 
M. L. FERNALD. 
THE announcement of the summer meeting of the Josselyn Botanical 
Society of Maine to be held at Brunswick, August 22-25, 1911, makes 
it appropriate to select from a large mass of Maine notes the following 
items which may be of special interest to those planning to attend 
the field-meeting and which will suggest many points for further 
observation, especially with the possibility of range-extensions. 
These notes may be called 
SoME NOTABLE PLANTS OF THE Brunswick REGION. 
ASPIDIUM SIMULATUM Davenp. The only stations yet known in 
Maine are the original one described by Davenport when he published 
the species (Indian Point, Georgetown, June, 1893) and wet woods 
at Southport (M. L. Fernald, August 1, 1894). These stations so 
nearly approach Brunswick that the species should be sought there — 
in Red Maple swamps and similar habitats. 
POTAMOGETON PECTINATUS L. The only Maine specimens seen 
by the writer came from brackish pools along Winnegance Creek, 
Phippsburg (collected in flower August 23, 1909). 
LOPHOTOCARPUS sponaiosus (Engelm.) J. G. Smith. Brackish 
mud of ditches, rills, etc., Winnegance Creek, Phippsburg, September 
21, 1907 (Kate Furbish), August 23, 1909 (Fernald & Wiegand). 
See RHODORA, xii. 120 (1910). 
AGROSTIS ALBA L., var. ARISTATA Gray. One of the few stations 
known to the writer is a patch of low woods at Southport (August $, 
1894). The variety is also found at Fairfield (J. A. Allen) and should 
be sought elsewhere. 
TRISETUM SPICATUM (L.) Richter, which is rare in southern Maine, 
was collected by Miss Furbish at Brunswick, in 1878. 
Eracrostis PILOSA (L.) Beauv. was collected by Miss Furbish 
at Harding’s, Brunswick, in 1899. It is apparently spreading north- 
ward along the railroads.
