342. Cheel, E. Notes on Callistemon species. Proc. Linn. See. New South Wales 45: 

 221. 1920. — Note is made of an exhibit of herbarium specimens with samples of timber from 

 2 distinct forms of Callistemon viminalis (Sol.) Cheel distinguished by their calyx tubes and 

 bark, and of 2 varieties of C. pachyphyllus Cheel differing from the type specimens, from a 

 different locality, in having narrower leaves and different colored flowers. — Eloise Gerry. 



343. DuTHiE, J. F. Flora of the Upper Gangetic Plain and of the adjacent Siv/alik and 

 Sub-Himalayan Tracts, Vol. Ill, Part II, Coniferae to Juncaceae. p. 169-283. Superintendent 

 Government Printing: Calcutta, 1920. 



344. Fassett, Norman C. An estuarian variety of Scirpus Smithii. Rhodora 23: 

 41-43. 1921. — A hitherto undescribed form of bulrush is described as Scirpus Smithii Gray 

 var. levisetus n. var. The type was collected on the tidal flats of the Cathance River, at 

 Bowdoinham, Maine, and at its mouth in Merrymeeting Bay. — James P. Poole. 



345. Fassett, Norman C. Slum suave: a new and an old form. Rhodora 23: 111-113. 

 1921. — A new form of this species has been found by the author in a tidal estuary of the Cath- 

 ance River, Bowdoinham, Maine. It is here described as Sium suave Walt, iorma, fasciculatum 

 f . nova. The author concludes that Sium Carsonii Durand is a weak aquatic state of S. suave 

 and consequently reduces it to S. suave W^alt. forma Carsonii (Durand) comb. nov. — James 

 P. Poole.

 59: 17-19. 1921.— (Continued from Jour. Bot. 57: 314. 1919 [see Bot. Absts. 6, Entry 395].)— 

 Notes are given under Euphorbiaceae (III), Rutaceae, Anacardiaceae, Aquifoliaceae, and 

 Celastraceae. A key to the species of Comocladia is inserted. The following species are 

 described as new: Comocladia troyensis, Ilex florif era, I. uniflora, and Maytenus microcarpa. —

347. Fernald, M. L. Scutellaria epilobiifolia. Rhodora 23: 85-86. 1921.— The Ameri- 

 can species Scutellaria epilobiifolia, distinguished by Arthur Hamilton in 1832, has been very 

 generally reduced to the Old World S. galericulata L. The present author shows, however, 

 that when fully mature nutlets of the 2 plants are examined they show such striking differences 

 that it becomes apparent that Hamilton's species should be recognized. The American plant 

 is, then, S. epilobiifolia Hamilton. For 2 striking color variations which occur Fernald pro- 

 poses: »S. epilobiifolia Hamilton forma 7-osea (Rand & Redfield) n. comb., and S. epilobiifolia 

 Hamilton forma alhiflora (Millsp.) n. comb. Parallel color-forms of S. lateriflora are proposed 

 as forma rhodantha n. f ., and forma albiflora (Farwell) n. comb. — James P. Poole. 



348. Fernald, M. L. The North American representatives of Scirpus cespitosus. Rho- 

 dora 23 : 22-25. 1921. — The author cites evidence from the European and the American litera" 

 ture to show that the common sedge, Scirpus cespitosus L., is represented in North America 

 by 2 varieties, namely, S. cespitosus L. var. callosus Bigelow and aS. cespitosus L. var. delicat- 

 ulus n. var. The bibliography, description, synonymy, and distribution of each of the varie- 

 ties are given. — James P. Poole. 



349. Fernald, M. L., and Harold St. John. The American variations of Silene acaulis. 

 Rhodora23 : 119-120. 1921. — The authors publish the bibliography of Silene acaulis L. var. 

 exscapa (All.) DC, and discuss its earlier recognition and description in the unpublished 

 Flore de Terre-Neuve, St. Pierre et Miclon by Bachelot de la Pylaie about a century ago. 

 Another variety of this species, occurring in the Rocky Mountains from Wyoming to New 

 Mexico and Arizona, is here published as *S. acaulis var. subacaulescens (F. N. Williams) n. 

 comb. — James P. Poole. 



350. Fernald, M. L., and C. A. Weatherby. Equisetum fiuviatile or E. limosum? 

 Rhodora 23: 43-47. 1921. — For nearly 50 years before the publication, in 1893, of the List 

 of Pteridophyta and Spermatophyta of Northeastern North America, the common horseta 1
