QUEBEC: sterile meadow, Douglastown, Gaspé Co., August 21 & 22, 
1904, Collins, Fernald & Pease.— Without extended field knowledge 
of the variations here included it seems very unwise to separate from 
var. comosa vars. subsessilis and laxa, which, judging from the abun- 
dant transitional material in the herbarium seem to be mere states of 
one plant. The varietal name comosa is here retained in its aggregate 
sense.
