LUZULA CAMPESTRIS, VAR. FRIGIDA IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.— Early 
this summer I noticed in a grassy field near the village of Wolfeboro, 
New Hampshire, a number of dense tufts of a dark green Luzula. 
It ripened ten days or more later than Luzula campestris, var. multi- 
flora, which was also abu dant, and proved to be L. campestris, var. 
frigida, a northern form of the species. Later I found the var. frigida 
abundantly in an adjoining field, and then in another some three 
miles distant, indicating that it is not very uncommon here. 
As Professors Fernald and Wiegand in their revision of the group 
in Ruopona for February, 1913, give eastern Maine as the southern 
limit of this variety, the discovery of it in Wolfeboro makes a con- 
siderable southern extension of the range, and it may be expected 
elsewhere in New Hampshire and Maine. Specimens have been 
deposited in the herbarium of the New England Botanical Club and 
in the Gray Herbarium.— H. E. SARGENT, Brewster Free Academy,

mirabilis it was so treated with some doubt and with the comment:
