1913] Blake,— Six Weeks’ Botanizing in Vermont,— I 157 
nodis gerentibus. Fertile stems bearing from the upper nodes 1 to 7 
long many-jointed often spiciferous branches. Specimens examined: 
MAINE: seepy gravelly shore, Fort Kent, 8 July 1904, Fernald; 
VERMONT: shore of Winooski River, Essex Junction, Blake 2186 part, 
and 2345 part (TYPE SHEET no. 3460 in my herb.); MICHIGAN: 
Keweenaw Peninsula, 1863, Robbins. 
LYCOPODIUM ANNOTINUM L. Woods, alt. 485, Essex; woods, alt. 
685, Williston, 7 August. 
*L. CLAVATUM L. var. MEGASTACHYON Fernald & Bissell. Edge of 
wooded bank, Essex, 3 August. A single plant found, this bearing 
but a single fruiting branch. 
L. opscuruM L. Quoted by Mrs. Flynn only from Burlington, 
but doubtless not uncommon. In woods, Burlington; damp woods, 
Williston, 31 July, and woods, Williston, alt. 685, 7 August; edge of 
wooded bank, Essex. A form intermediate between the type and the 
variety was collected in woods at Essex Junction on 26 July. 
L. TRISTACHYUM Pursh. Dry woods, Burlington, 22 July and 2 
August. 
Picea RUBRA (Du Roi) Dietr. Pasture, alt. 545, Williston. 
TYPHA ANGUSTIFOLIA L. Swampy spot (near Central Vermont 
Railroad), Burlington (a different station from Mrs. Flynn’s Bur- 
lington one). 
SPARGANIUM AMERICANUM Nutt. Close to pond, Essex, alt. 270; 
boggy meadow, Essex Junction; edge of pond, alt. 300, Essex (Blake 
2388). The last includes both the type and the variety *andro- 
cladum, the two former representing the variety only; but the so-called 
var. androcladum is scarcely worthy of any recognition in nomencla- 
ture, simple and branched forms being almost always found growing 
together, so that the distinction based on presence or absence of 
branches is of no real value. 
S. DIVERSIFOLIUM Graebn. Recorded only from Colchester by 
Mrs. Flynn. It seems to be not rare. Shore of Winooski River, alt. 
270, Essex Junction (with the variety); bog, alt. 100, Colchester; 
mud flats of Hinesburg Pond, Williston, alt. 684 (Blake 2570). Num- 
ber 2571, collected with the last, approaches S. americanum. With 
these grew also the variety (2569). 
*S. DIVERSIFOLIUM var. ACAULE (Beeby) Fernald & Eames. Shore 
of Winooski River, Essex Junction (2206 part); mud flats of Hines- 
burg Pond, Williston, 7 August. 
*S. LUCIDUM Fernald & Eames. Shore of Winooski Hiver, near its
