CAREX GYNOCRATES IN PENNSYLVANIA.— In Mr. Long’s article 
on the occurrence of Carex novae-angliae in Pennsylvania he speaks 
of the fact that numerous other Canadian plants are being found in 
the upland region of the state, and it may be of interest to Pennsyl- 
vania botanists to know of an actual specimen of Carex gynocrates 
from Pennsylvania. In Porter’s Flora the species is included (as C. 
Redowskyana) but without definite citation of locality or county. In 
the Gray Herbarium there is an excellent specimen which was collected 
by Goldie at Pittsburg and received from Hooker. This station is 
presumably now obliterated, but it is so near the stations in the upland 
region of central and western New York where C. gynocrates has long 
been known that search in the Alleghanian region of Pennsylvania 
may yet reveal the plant. In Newfoundland, southeastern Canada, 
and northern New England and New York the plant is found exclu- 
sively in calcareous bogs and swamps: in northern Maine, almost 
exclusively in arbor-vitae swamps where it forms close turf on knolls 
or decaying logs; but in Newfoundland, where arbor-vitae is un- 
known, the species is characteristic of the more caleareous swamps 
which are wooded with Picia mariana and Larix laricina.— M. L.
