overflowed meadows and along river bottoms. In such places the 
two plants often grow together, but in woods or wet places on 
higher ground, where ‘C. sqguarrosa often grows in abundance, C. 
typhinoides seems never to occur. 
Extreme forms of these two sedges are strikingly unlike in ap- 
pearance ; other forms show a similarity of aspect which is some- 
times confusing. However the identity of such forms comes out 
plainly enough upon closer observation, and can always be instantly 
established by an appeal to fruit characters. The differences in 
_ the achenes and styles of the two plants is especially noteworthy: 
and have proved to be singularly constant in a large number of. 
specimens from widely separated localities. 
It may be added that Carex squarrosa as described by Linnaeus 
is clearly that species as distinguished from Carex typhinoides ; so 
also is the Carex typhina of Michaux. The species was first figured 
by Schweinitz and Torrey (Monograph, plate 27); later it was 
figured by Dewey (11: fl. 2. fig. 29. 1826). Boott’s illustrations 
of Carex squarrosa (1860) refer in part only to that species as here 
defined. His plate 281 is unmistakably Carex typhinoides, while 
plate 280 can scarcely be other than a composite figure made up 
partly of each species. 
Notes on some Florida Plants.—ll. 
By Gero. V. NAsH. 
My second collection of Florida plants was made in 1895, be- 
ginning late in May andending early in September. Very little — 
collecting, except among the Fungi and Lichens, was done in 
Eustis or its vicinity, the field of my operations the previous year, — 
although I again made this place my headquarters. The area ex- 
plored extended from the Manatee River in the south to Jackson- a 
ville in the north, thence westward through Columbia, Jefferson, = 
Leon and Gadsden Counties, to the Apalachicola River. Thiswas ; 
my main collecting ground, and is all tributary to the Florida = 
Central and Peninsular Railroad. The country traversed by this 
road is very interesting, particularly from a botanical standpoint, — 
the flora varying from semi-tropical to temperate. The terminus
