Variety villosissimus is essentially a plant of costal plain distribu- 
tion along the Atlantic coast running up into Lehigh County, Penn- 
sylvania, the mountains of North Carolina and Georgia in isolated 
localities and also occurring in the Mississippi basin as far north as 
Illinois with two rather remote stations in Iowa. As a whole the more 
pronounced specimens are confined to the Atlantic seaboard whereas 
those from the Mississippi basin usually show only slight villosity. 
The following specimens listed above approach var. frequens very 
closely only a few hairs being noted on one or two sheaths. NEw
