Readily distinguished from the type by the nodulose conns at the 

 base of the culm. This plant was mentioned in Rhodora 13: 9 & 

 207, t. 85 (1911) and specimens of it were mentioned from Virginia. 

 Massachusetts: Plymouth, June 22, 1912, dump, S. F. Blake, no. 

 3854. The earliest varietal name is nodosum and this should replace 

 the current tuberosum.

 1912, dump, S. F. Blake, no. 3855. — This form is quite clearly sepa- 

 rated from the normal form of the variety by the white-striated leaves.

 called Eragrostris megastachya is /*.'. cilianensis.

 As pointed out by Ascherson and Graebner Syn. Mitteleur. Fl. 2 1 : 416 

 (1900) Poa palustris L. is unquestionably the same as the plant called 

 P. triflora in spite of Linnaeus's false synonymy. This view is 

 strengthened by the fact that the plant Was well characterized under 

 the Linnean name by Roth Tent. Fl. Germ. 2 1 : 117 (1789) which ante- 

 dates all other names applied to the species. This name is accepted 

 by the more recent European botanists.
