HypROcHLOA FLUITANS (Michx.) (Hydrochloa Carolinensis 
Beauv.). At Lloyds, Jefferson Co., flowerir.g profusely, in which 
condition it is very rare. Ina sterile state it is very common in: 
many bodies of still water. No. 2512. 
ARISTIDA PATULA Chapm. ined. (Avistida scabra Chapm. 
FI. S. St. 663. 1884. Not Kunth, 1833.) Inthe pine land back 
of Titusville, Brevard Co., No. 2295; near Sanford, Orange Co., 
No. 2276; and very common just back of the beach line at Ballast 
Point, near Tampa, where it grew luxuriantly, forming large tufts, 
No. 2424. 
ERAGROSTIS HIRSUTA (Michx.) Not Nees, 1829, nor Wood,: 
1861. (Poa sursuta Michx.) Very common in fields at Talla- 
hassee, Leon Co., forming broad tufts, 2-3 feet tall. No. 2521. 
The synonymy of this grass is exceedingly mixed. The 
E. hirsuta Nees (F|. Bras. 2: Part 2, 508. 1829), &. Airsuta 
Wood (Classbook, 796. 1861), and Poa hirsuta Muhl. (Gram. 
145. 1817), appear to be the & pectinacea A. Gray, judg-. 
ing from the descriptions given in each case. The /va hirsuta 
Michx. is apparently an entirely different plant, as evidenced by a 
fragment of the type of Michaux, preserved in the Columbia 
College Herbarium. This grass ranges from North Carolina to 
Florida, thence west to Louisiana, and possibly to Texas. It 
has been confounded with &. capilliaris Nees. Curtiss’ No. 
3499 belongs here. sae 
Uniola longifolia Scribn. Found growing abundantly along the 
edge of a dry woods, near Tallahassee, No 2521; also in pine 
woods at River Junction, Gadsden Co., about forty miles to the 
west of the above place, No. 2591a. I was much surprised at its 
further occurrence in some abundance in a tropical hammock on 
Sneed’s Island, near the mouth of the Manatee River, in the south- 
ern part of the peninsula, over 400 miles from the above named 
localities. The villous sheaths of this species are constant, and 
readily separate it from the others of the genus. 
Rynchospora miliacea (Lam.) A. Gray. Apparently rare, as | 
found it in only two places, both within a few miles of Eustis, 
Lake Co., No. 1845. 
| Scleria hirtella Sw. Rare. a tall ‘grass in the low sf dei 
land, near Eustis, Lake Co., No. 1917. :
