_Gtycerta Fernaldii (Hitche.), n. comb. G. pallida (Torr.) 
Trin., var. Fernaldi Hitchc., Roopora, viii. 211 (1906). 
The second glume of G. Fernaldii is 1-2 mm. in length, thus re- 
sembling that of G. nervata (Willd.) Trin., but the latter species has, 
as well as other characters, long cylindrical anthers.

Bıpens EATONI, var. kennebecensis, n. var., achaeniis exterioribus 
8.8-9.8 mm. longis, interioribus 9.5-10.5 mm. longis. 
Outer achenes 8.8-9.8 mm. long, the inner 9.5-10.5 mm. long.— 
Maing, tidal reaches of the lower Kennebec system: tidal mud-flats 
and swales by Cathance River, Bowdoinham, September 14 and 19, 
1916, Fernald & Long, nos. 14,822 (rYPE in Gray Herb.), 14,823, also

River Creek, Woolwich, September 15, 1916, Fernald & Long, no.

Exactly resembles B. Eatoni Fernald of the tidal flats of the lower 
Merrimac, but the Maine material of which several hundred individ- 
uals were collected has the achenes of the well developed heads con- 
sistently longer than in the plant of the lower Merrimac; the outer 
achenes of the latter being 6-7, the inner 7-9 mm. long.
