Another Note on Buxbaumia 



R. S. Williams 



Since writing the note " Buxbaumia in the United States," 

 which appeared in the July, 1900, number of the Journal of the N. 

 Y. Bot. Garden, I have received a specimen of B. aphylla from Dr. 

 G. N. Best, collected in the State of Washington, by Professor 

 Piper. It is in every way like the eastern aphylla, so that the 

 species ranges from one side of the continent to the other, just 

 as B. indnsiata does. The remaining species, B. Piperi y is still un- 

 known from any region east of the Rocky Mountains, I believe. 

 As stated in the note above referred to, this last is entirely distinct 

 from B. indnsiata in having one-celled immersed stomata, not two- 

 celled and superficial. All the specimens of these three species 

 that I have ever collected were either growing on decayed logs or 

 on fragments of such logs more or less mixed with earth, but 

 Professor Piper states that he has collected specimens on the sides 

 of comparatively recent railway cuts, growing on earth with appar- 

 ently no sign of decayed wood mixed in.

A Correction 



The name arcnicola having already been used in the genus 

 Allium, I therefore substitute the name Allium sabulicola for the » 

 species published as Allium arcnicola, in the Bulletin of the 

 Torrey Botanical Club for September, 1900 (27: 506).
