1912] Fernald,— Galium brevipes in Minnesota 175 
seventh edition of Gray’s Manual may therefore be extended to 
include Connecticut, Nantucket, Cape Cod and Plymouth County in 
Massachusetts. 
This grass evidently is to be classed with Panicum Wrightianum, 
Eupatorium. leucolepis, Sclerolepis uniflora and numerous better- 
known plants which are characteristic of the pine barrens of the Middle 
and South Atlantic States. More and more of these are being found 
in the glacial gravels and sand-plains of southeastern Massachusetts, 
where the soil and moisture conditions are evidently similar to those 
of the coastal plain.— CLarence H. KwowrroN, Hingham, Massa-

Two Grasses New ro New HAMPSHIRE.— Among some plants 
which I collected in Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, in 1911, 
there are two — a Panicum and a Calamagrostis — that have not been 
known hitherto in this State. "Through the courtesy of Mr. Walter 
Deane specimens have been submitted for identification to Mrs. 
Agnes Chase, who very kindly has compared them with material in 
the National Herbarium. 
The Calamagrostis, which I obtained in a grassy meadow in Sharon, 
New Hampshire, July 20, 1911, is C. inexpansa Gray. It occurs in 
New Jersey and New York, but until now has been unknown in New 
England. Mrs. Chase writes that my plant "has a less densely 
flowered panicle than any specimen we have, but the spikelet char- 
acters are those of C. inexpansa though the glumes are slightly shorter 
than in most of the specimens, only equalling the lemma instead of 
being a little longer." 
The Panicum proves to be P. commutatum Schultes. I found it 
July 2, 1911, growing in a meadow in Peterborough, New Hampshire. 
It appears to have been taken but once before in New England. 
Hitchcock and Chase, in their recent monograph on the North Ameri- 
can species of this genus, cite one specimen in the National Herbarium, 
obtained at Wellesley, Massachusetts, in 1899, by Mr. W. P. Rich.—

GALIUM BREVIPES IN MuiwwNEsOTA.— In 1910 Galium brevipes 
Fernald & Wiegand, a small species with very short-pedicelled axillary 
flowers, and fruits scarcely 1 mm. in diameter, was described ! from 
! REopona, xii, 78 (1910).
