2018. Eames, Edward A. An unusual foim of Habenaria clavellata. Rhodora 23: 120 

 127. PL 131. 1921. — A description is given of an abnormal form of this species in which 

 the ends of the spurs are divided into 2 distinct lobes. This form of corolla was typical of a 

 considerable portion of the plants throughout a large area. Whether this represents a true 

 variety or merely a transitory variation remains to be determined by future observation of 

 this colony. — James P. Poole. 



2019. Farwell, Oliver A. Corrections in nomenclature. Rhodora 23: 86-87. 1921. — 

 Carex gigantea Rudge has been adopted by certain authors for the plant named by L. H. 

 Bailey C. grandis, the C. gigantea of Dewey. The author shows by a comparison of the 

 achenes that the 2 are distinct species and proposes that these, together with C. lupulina, 

 are best considered as varying forms of 1 widely distributed polymorphous species, which, 

 according to the International Rules, should be known as C. gigantea Rudge, with the fol- 

 lowing variations: forma minor n. f.; var. lupulina (Muhl.) Farwell, iormixpedunculata (Dew.) 

 n. f.; forma Bella-villa (Dew.) n. f.; var. grandis (Bailey) n. var. The synonymy is given 

 for the forms listed. — James P. Poole.
