§ 318. Florida Plants.—We have had several applications for 
information where to purchase herbarium specimens of the rarer 
Southern plants, particularly ferns. Miss Mary C. Reynolds, St. 
Augustine, Florida, has recently sent us some nice specimens of 
Nymphaea flava, Psilotum triguetrum, Polypodium Phyllitidis, P. 
aureum, P. pectinatum, P. Plumula, Adiantum tenerum, Vittaria 
lineata, &c., and informs us that she has these and other Southern 
plants to dispose of at very reasonable prices. Of Polypodium 
Phyllitidis she writes that her brother obtained from a locality on 
Indian River fronds from two to four feet long. They grew on the 
earth-laden spurs of a Live-oak which was twenty feet in circum- 
ference. Ss 
§ 319. Cyperus cylindricus, A/ariscus cylindricus, Ell.—As 
long ago as 1866 a Cyperus was gathered near Tottenville, Staten 
Island, which seemed quite distinct from C. ovularis, Torr., chiefly 
in its smaller, more cylindrical heads. Mr. N. L. Britton has again 
collected this plant in the same spot, and on comparing it with the 
specimens in the Torrey Herbarium finds it most nearly correspond- 
ing with Elliott’s Mariscus cylindricus. It may be that this plant 
has been gathered by others in some other spot. At all events, it is 
to be looked for this season. Mr. Britton or the editor would be 
Y Note to § 309, Vitis.—V. cordifolia flowered this year in the last week 
of May, AA days before Ailantus bloomed. Last year I stated that it 
flowered with the opening of Ailantus blossoms. 
Vitis aestivalis is with us always the latest, and blooms som > 4-6 days after 
cordifolia in the same localities. i G. E.
