8. Var. onondagensis, n. var., var. rostratae similis; pedunculis

Similar to var. rostrata: peduncles after anthesis 3-7 em. long: podo- 
gynes 2-6 mm. long: carpels in maturity 2-3 mm. long, ovoid-semilu- 
nate, gibbous at base, conspicuously and subobliquely beaked.— New 
York: Onondaga Lake, 1864, J. A. Paine (ryPE in Gray Herb.); 
August 15, 1880, W. R. Dudley.— Of the twenty-two mature fruits 
examined twenty-one have characteristically short podogynes, only 
one having the podogyne elongated nearly to 1 cm. in length and thus 
approaching the less characteristic specimens of the coastal plant, var. 
rostrata. Fas. 15 and 16. 
Var. onondagensis, though with the fruit of vars. longipes and ros- 
trata, differs from both in its much shorter podogynes. From var. 
rostrata it is further distinguished by its longer peduncle, which, 
though flexuous, apparently does not spiral as in the long-peduncled 
var. longipes. From var. subcapitata, which is apparently frequent 
about the Gulf of St. Lawrence, it is at once distinguished by its long 
peduncle; but its podogynes and fruits so closely resemble those of 
the latter plant as to suggest that var. onondagensis is a derivative of 
the maritime var. subcapitata which has become slightly altered in 
its isolated inland habitat. l
