quarta parte brevioribus; pedicellis infimis maturitate 7-14 mm. 
longis; seminibus 0.7-0.8 mm. longis irregulariter ovalibus saepissime 
omnibus alatis, alis tenuibus erosis.—Brackish soil about salt springs 
and salt ponds in Central New York. Cayuga County; salt pond 
west of Howland Island, 1917, Metcalf & Wiegand, no. 8064, and 
1919, Eames, Randolph & Wiegand, no. 12005; salt flats east of Monte- 
zuma Village, 1916, Metcalf & Wiegand, no. 6406 (TYPE in Gray 
Herb.), and 1919, Eames, Randolph & Wiegand, no. 12004. 
This plant differs from S. marginata (DC.) Kit. in the thinner 
erose wing of the seeds, in the more glabrous stems, more foliaceous. 
bracts, and probably also in the annual root. From S. salina J. & C. 
Presl it differs in the more glabrous stems, more foliaceous bracts, 
longer pedicels, larger capsules, and non-papillose, winged seeds. 
From 5. leiosperma (Kindb.) Schmidt it may be distinguished by 
the longer pedicels, larger capsules, and winged seeds. The seeds 
of the last two species are rarely winged. In appearance the plant 
most resembles S. marginata, probably because of the large capsules. 
and long pedicels.

A Correction.—Through an error, Littorella uniflora was reported 
in the October issue of Ruopora (xxi. 191) as collected at “The 
Gut,” South Hero, Vermont. The plant in question was Myrio- 
phyllum tenellum, which is occasional in the state according to the 
Flora of Vermont.—Mrs. NELLIE F. FrvNw, Burlington, Vermont.
