190 Rhodora [NOVEMBER 
Two collections made in Brooklin are the first reported for the state. 
However, part of the material in the Mount Desert Herbarium passing 
as the typical form is in reality this variety. 
AGROPYRON REPENS (L.) Beauv., var. PrLosuM Scribn. This plant 
reported occasionally from various localities in the state seems to be 
rather common in this region. Collections were made at Swans 
Island, Isle au Haut and Deer Isle, all on sea beaches. 
SCIRPUS CYPERINUS (L.) Kunth. This sedge is known from Penob- 
scot County southward and southwestward with isolated stations at 
Mount Desert and Isle au Haut. 
SCIRPUS PEDICELLATUS Fernald. As represented in the above her- 
baria this plant has an interesting distribution. It is common across 
the northern part of the state and on the coast as far east as Kennebec 
County. It reappears again around Penobscot Bay. Miss Furbish 
found it at Swans Island and two collections were made this year at 
Isle au Haut. 
CAREX CANESCENS L. While common inland in Maine, this plant 
is much more restricted on the coast than the varieties. It has been 
collected only at Cutler, Brooklin and Swans Island. 
CAREX STELLULATA Good., var. ANGUSTATA Carey. Until now 
the only recorded coastal station for this common inland plant has 
been Mount Desert. To this may be added a station at Flyes Point, 
Brooklin. 
CAREX SALINA Wahlenb., var. KATTEGATENSIS (Fries) Almq. A 
fifth Maine station at Brooklin can now be added to those at Lubec, 
West Pembroke, Waldoboro and Chebeague Island. 
Juncus GREENEI Oakes & Tuckerm. With the exception of a few 
Mount Desert stations, Brooklin is the eastern limit of this rush. 
BETULA LUTEA Michx. f. In his article on “ Woody Plants of Brook- 
lin, Maine" in Rnonpona for September, 1910, A. H. Graves does not 
include the yellow birch in the list. There are several stations in 
Brooklin and the tree is also common on the islands. 
Quercus RUBRA L., var. AMBIGUA (Michx. f.) Fernald. The only 
fruiting Red Oak seen at Brooklin was this variety and it is quite 
likely that the other trees, all of which were close at hand, will prove 
to be the same. 
ARENARIA PEPLOIDES L., var. ROBUSTA Fernald. Norton, in his 
article above referred to, states that this plant is strictly local and 
cites a few stations on the outer islands. "The plant is quite frequent
