Tuae following plants, I believe, are without published records for 
their occurrence in Maine. Specimens of all of them are preserved 
in the Herbarium of the Portland Society of Natural History.

of southern rather than northern distribution. 
SCIRPUS PLANIFOLIUS Muhl. In the Herbarium of the Portland 
Society of Natural History there is a sheet of this species, collected 
at Wells, Maine, by Rev. Joseph Blake, August, 1881. This was 
labelled Fimbristylis capillaris. The herbarium number is 1458. 
CAREX LUPULIFORMIS Sartwell This species was collected at 
Stroudwater, September 22, 1907, by Mr. A. R. Stubbs of Portland. 
This has been determined by Professor M. L. Fernald. 
ACNIDA CANNABINA L. On the 16th of September, 1905, I found 
this plant in several small spots on the brackish marshes on the 
easterly shore near the mouth of the Presumpscot River, a place known

seen it on several later occasions which shows that it is permanent. 
Lupvicta POLYCARPA Short & Peter. Specimens were taken by 
Mr. A. R. Stubbs in Deering, Maine, August 28, 1908.

Josselyn Botanical Society at Brunswick, in 1911, while with a party 
of the Society, at Winnegance Creek, on August 23, led by Miss 
Kate Furbish, I came upon a small patch of this plant. "Though the 
patch was small, the plant thickly covered the space. It was well 
hidden from view by Spartina glabra alterniflora which lined the shore.
