From E. polystachya it differs also in the smaller anthers and gla- 

 brous foliage. The var. soluta differs from the typical form mainly 

 in the more purple narrower spikelets, but at times has the aspect 

 of a distinct species.

ADDITIONS TO THE FLORA OF MOUNT DESERT, MAINE. 

 Wm. Randolph Taylor. 



The appearance in 1894 of a Flora of Mount Desert, Maine, by 

 E. L. Rand and J. H. Redfield marked the culmination of the efforts 

 of several enthusiastic naturalists to make a complete botanical 

 survey of the island. This very valuable list was soon followed by 

 a series of reports of the discovery of additional species. These were 

 mostly phanerogams reported in Rhodora by Mr. Rand, but lesser 

 extensions of the other groups of plants have also been made. In 

 1908 the Josselyn Botanical Society of Maine held a summer meeting 

 at the village of Manset, and later published a list of the plants noted 

 in the neighborhood. 1 It has become increasingly evident that the 

 island, due to its position, conformation and geological history, 

 supports an exceedingly varied and interesting flora. Because of 

 its unique character it seems advantageous to extend the list of plants 

 known to occur there as rapidly as possible. This is especially so 

 now that we have a very accurate list from the islands just southwest 

 of the Mount Desert group, a Flora of the Penobscot Bay Region 

 by Albert F. Hill, with which a comparison of the Flora of Mount 

 Desert shows many interesting similarities. 2 



The writer, in the company of Dr. J. M. Macfarlane, spent a large 

 part of the summer of 1915 on the island, and returned for a part of 

 the summer of 1920, on both occasions making Manset the head- 

 quarters for botanical work, A considerable number of additional 

 forms were found, as well as new localities for plants reported in 

 the Rand and Redfield Flora as rare. The following list is presented 

 of material collected by Dr. Macfarlane and the writer in 1915, and 

 by the latter alone in 1920. With great kindness Miss Annie Lorenz
