■ Fuirena breviseta Coville 



F. sqnarrosa var. breviseta Coville, Bull. Torr. Club, 17 : 6. 



pL 98./. 6. 1890 



Collected in moist sandy soil, Leslie, August 17 (no. 403). 

 Mr. Coville, who determined my specimens, now regards this with- 

 out hesitation as a distinct species, and asks me to so publish it 

 for him. In most of my specimens the upper leaves are de- 

 flexed, and this seems to be due to the turgidity of a portion of 

 the base of the blade. This turgid portion is rather conspicuous 

 on account of its whitish color. 



SCIRPUS ATROV1RENS Muhl. 



Collected in a marshy place south of Kennesaw Mountain in 

 Cobb county, at an altitude of 995 ft., July 12 (no. 207). (Not 

 previously known from middle Georgia.) Also in a wet meadow 

 just west of Taylor's Ridge in Walker county, at 950ft., July 31 

 (no. 325). The latter station is on the Chickamauga formation. 



SCIRPUS POLYPHYLLUS Vahl 



Found with S. atrovirens in both the above-mentioned localities 

 (nos. 209, 326), also in wet woods, DeKalb county, at 950 ft. alti- 

 tude, July 10 (no. 196). The station last mentioned seems to 

 be the southernmost known for this species. It was also observed 

 at two or three points in Whitfield county, mostly on Chicka- 

 mauga strata. 



Scirpus Georgianus Harper, Bull. Torr. Club, 27: 331. pi- 22 - 



1900 



On June 18th I revisited the type-locality of this species, in 

 Clarke county, and after some search succeeded in finding a good 

 specimen (no. 6). On July 4th I found it in some abundance about 



M 



on the 1 2th I was agreeably surprised by discovering another sta- 

 tion for it, 62 miles west of the original, in Cobb county at 995 ft- 



ery 



altitude (no. 212). The specimens from this locality are in e 

 way similar to those from the type-locality. At the Cobb county 

 station both 5. atrovirens and S. polyphyllus were collected also 

 within a few yards, thus affording an exceptional opportunity for
