currence, the plant being of coastal plain affinities, and previously 
known in Vermont only from the lower Connecticut Valley. 
*MUHLENBERGIA FOLIOSA (R. & S.) Trin. Damp spot in railroad 
embankment, alt. 345, Essex Junction, 20 July (Blake 1889). De- 
termined by Mr. Hubbard, as were the following Panicums. Pre- 
viously recorded from Townshend, L. A. Wheeler, by Kirk in RHODORA, 
March 1912. The following specimens in the Gray Herbarium, 
determined by Mr. Weatherby, all originally ticketed M. mexicana, 
show that the species is at least well distributed in the state: damp 
places, Sudbury, 14 Sept. 1896, F. W. Hubby; base of Willoughby 
Cliff, 4 Aug. 1881, and Fourth of July and North Slides, Willoughby 
Mt., 19 Aug. 1896, Faxon; North Pownal, 19 Aug. 1903, Blanchard. 
M. foliosa subsp. ambigua (Torr.) Scribn. is also represented in the 
Gray Herbarium by a sheet from Lake Champlain, 14 Sept. 1881, 
Faxon.

C. Houguroni Torr. The previous records for the state are as 
follows: Fairlee Lake, Jesup t; Colchester, Oct. 1901, Mrs. Flynn ?; 
Castleton, 1911, Brainerd *. My experience seemed to show that the 
plant is not very uncommon in the Burlington Region, always growing 
in dry sand,‘ although this is not in all cases shifting as at Mrs. Flynn's 
Colchester locality. I made the following collections of the species; 
in Essex: sand along railroad, alt. 350, 26 July (2248, 2249); 2248 was 
1 Fl. Vt. 22 (1900). 
2 RHoDora v. 191 (1903). 
3 RHODORA xiv. 40 (1912) 
4 Except on one occasion, when it was found growing in the gravel between R. R. ties.
