The summer meeting of 1916 will be held at Wallingford, probably

CHELONE glabra L., forma rosea, n. f., corolla rosea fauce purpurea. 



Corolla rose-color, with purple throat.— New Hampshire: borders 

 of wet woods near The Flume, Lincoln, September 1, 1915, Fernald, no. 

 11,871 (type in Gray Herb.). 



A very handsome form, in color suggesting the more southern C. 

 obliqua L. and C. Lyoni Pursh, but with the entire bracts of C. glabra, 

 in which the corolla is ordinarily white or whitish with a pearly-pink 

 or roseate throat.— M. L. Fernald. 



Rynchospora macrostachya within the Boston District.— 

 In looking over past numbers of Rhodora recently, I noticed the 

 absence from the "Flora of the Boston District" of a sedge that is 

 locally abundant at North Easton and I think that a report of it 

 may be of interest to some of the readers. On September 13, 1915, 

 I collected specimens of Rynchospora macrostachya Torr. growing 

 abundantly about a pond in North Easton, Massachusetts. All 

 gradations of this species and its variety inundata (Oakes) Fernald 

 seemed to thrive along one shore of this particular pond. This station 

 appears to have been unrecorded, although there are recorded stations 

 slightly to the northeast, at Great Pond, South Weymouth and at 

 Great Pond, Braintree (see Blake, Rhodora, xv. 19).— Charles 

 Schweinfurth, North Easton, Massachusetts.
