ovate, subacute; staminate obovate, rounded and more or less white- 
hyaline at apex: perigynia longer than the scales, oblong-lanceolate, 
5-6 mm. long, 1.7 mm. wide, compressed, subacuminate, scarcely 
beaked, smooth, shining, purplish-black, nerveless or obscurely 
nerved; the orifice whitish, emarginate; the margin entire or obso- 
letely serrulate: stigmas 2; achenes plano-convex, narrowly obovate, 
1 mm. long.— NEWFOUNDLAND: mossy knolls on the limestone 
tableland, altitude 200-300 m., Table Mountain, Port à Port Bay, 
July 16 & 17, 1914, Fernald & St. John, no. 10,801 (TYPE in Gray 
Herb.). 
Simulating C. misandra R. Br. of the Arctic, a species in which the 
terminal spike is staminate at base only, the scales and perigynia 
narrower, the latter prolonged into a slender distinctly serrate beak, 
the stigmas commonly 3, and the leaves broader and flat. Only 
one knoll of C. misandroides was observed during a hurried trip across 
the tableland of Table Mountain and the material collected shows 
scarcely any individuals which are clearly duplicates, so great is the 
diversity in length of the culms and peduncles. In one individual 
a tall culm (1 dm. high) bears an umbel with a nearly sessile staminate 
spike and 4 pistillate spikes on peduncles from 2 mm. to 3.5 em. long; 
others have long slender peduncles arising from near the base of the 
plant, one of them bearing sessile staminate and pistillate spikes, and 
one extreme individual has the staminate spike essentially sessile 
at the base of the plant, with the long-peduncled pistillate spikes over- 
topping it. 
On Table Mountain C. misandroides was associated with a choice 
group of arctic-alpine calciphiles, such as Kobresia caricina Willd., 
Carex pedata L., Salix leiolepis Fernald, Anemone parviflora Michx., 
Potentilla nivea L., Dryas integrifolia Vahl, Hedysarum alpinum L., 
Antennaria eucosma Fernald & Wiegand, A. spathulata Fernald and 
Arnica chionopappa Fernald.

RANGE EXTENSIONS OF TWO GRassEs.— Among the numerous 
specimens that are constantly being sent to the Gray Herbarium for 
identification or verification, two have come to my notice that are 
worthy special note because representing an extension of range and a 
new introduction to the region covered by the last edition of Gray’s 
Manual.
