204 The Plant World. 



The reference in the June number of The Plant World 

 to the work of Mr. S. B. Parish on "The Southern California 

 Juncaceae" was, unfortunately, worded so as to leave the clos- 

 ing lines quite ambiguous. The writer of the notice lequests 

 us to make plain that Mr. Parish is no! the man who published 

 in Muhlenbergia a species distinguished as follows: "The per- 

 ianths are larger in the species here proposed as new ; but a better 

 character * * * is the great length of the oblong and 

 leaf-like segments of the involucre. ' '
