V. NEW OR RECENTLY RESTUDIED PLANTS OF EASTERN 
AMERICA. 
Carex Hostiana DC., var. laurentiana (Fernald & Wiegand) 
Fernald & Wiegand, n. comb. C. fulvescens Mackenzie, Bull. Torr. 
Bot. Cl. xxxvii. 239 (1910). C. Hornschuchiana, var. laurentiana 
Fernald & Wiegand, Rnopona, xiii. 130 (1911). 
C. Hostiana DC. Cat. Pl. Hort. Bot. Monsp. 88 (1813) was well 
described and the plate of C. fulva Host, not Goodenough, was cited. 
Although Kükenthal retains for the species the name C. Hornschuchi- 
ana Hoppe (1824) he definitely cites the perfectly described C. 
Hostiana (as C. Hosteana) as a synonym. . 
We have again studied the plant of Newfoundland and Anticosti 
and can find no characters not shown by the European C. Hostiana, 
merely a tendency to slightly larger size of the parts; and several 
European specimens so closely approach var. laurentiana that it 
might be urged with good reason that the variety 1s scarcely worthy 
of separation. 
Saux BEBBIANA Sargent, var. luxurians (Fernald), n. comb. S. 
rostrata, var. luxurians Fernald, Ruopona, ix. 223 (1907). S. Beb- 
biana, forma luxurians (Fernald) Schneider, Journ. Arn. Arb. iii. 75 
(1921). 
Schneider shows! that Salix rostrata Thuill. (1797) is not a perfect 
synonym of S. repens L. but that it is identified with two generally 
recognized varieties of that species and by those who would treat 
eitLer of these variations as species the name S. rcstrata Thuill. would 
have to be used. Under these circumstances the name 5. rostrata 
Richardson (1823) for the characteristic American species must give 
way to S. Bebbiana Sargent (1896). Schneider considers var. luxurians 
as "nothing but a forma luxurians," which "should be looked for in 
other localities of the type.” In the vast accumulation of American
