basi valde lignescenti stoloniferoque plerumque 3-5 mm. crasso; 
ramis floriferis adscendentibus 0.3-1 m. longis; foliis anguste ellipticis 
vel elliptico-lanceolatis acuminatis vel acutis 0.5-2 dm. longis 0.84 
em. latis; ocreis laxe cylindricis strigosis ciliatis, ciliis 2-5 mm. 
longis; pedunculis erectis elongatis; spicis filiformibus plerumque 
0.4-1 dm. longis alternifloris, rhachi purpurascenti; ocreolis ciliatis:

Nova Scotia: in great abundance in peat and granite gravel 
bordering outlet of Lamb's Lake, Annapolis Co.. July 19, 1921 
(foliage), Fernald, Bartram, Long & Fassett, no. 23,802, August 29, 
Fernald & Long, no. 23,803 (TYPE in Gray Herb.) and in Pl. Exsicc. 
Gray., September 16, Donald McPherson, no. 23,804. 
Exactly combining the aspect and characters of the two species, 
both of which occur with or near it. In its coarse habit with stout 
subligneous base nearer P. robustius; in foliage intermediate; in the 
spike showing the slender habit of P. hydropiperoides and the purple 
color of the rhachis, but in the large milk-white flowers and the great 
length of the spikes suggesting P. robustius. Practically all the achenes 
are empty. Out of 135 sheets of specimens collected on August 29 
we were able to secure only 5 partially filled achenes; while a mass of 
100 or more older inflorescences collected in September by Mr. 
McPherson yielded no good. achenes.
