these stations, but it is generally taller and with the leaves striped 

 rather than blotched with white. Goodycra rcpens appears to be un- 

 common in these localities. 



Spiranthcs Romanzoviana, Chamisso. Found in bogs at North- 

 port, Mich., by a pond known as Mud Lake. Rather common at 

 Sault Ste. Marie. It closely resembles, externally, S. cernua, and 

 might easily be taken for that plant, but generally has broader leaves 

 and blossoms earlier, in July and August. 



Listera convallarioides. Hook. Cedar swamps, Bear Lake, 

 Mich., Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. 



Jtincus pelocarpus, E Meyer. Bear Lake, also at Laporte, Ind. 



Rhynchospora capillacea, Torr., var. kviseta, E. J. Hill. This 

 plant, first detected at Pine Station, Ind., in 1875, and described in 

 the American Naturalist the following year, is distinguished from the 

 typical species by its perfectly smooth bristles. It has been observed 

 in the original locality nearly every year since, and preserves the same 

 peculiarity. Last year it was gathered in abundance at Whiting, and 

 found the present season at Edgemoor, between the two stations men- 

 tioned above. So far as observed, plants from these three places, and 

 from different localities surrounding them, all have the characteristic 

 smooth bristles. I have not found any other form near Chicago. In 

 1878 a few plants of the variety were discovered growing with the 

 typical species at Torch Lake, Mich. Having observed it in four dif 

 ferent places, and for several years, the variety may be regarded as 

 constant, and be distinguished as above. 



Eimbristylis autmnnalis, Roem. & Schult. At Whiting. Nut 

 pale yellow, prominently covered with stipitate tubercles or wart-like 

 projections. Torrey, in his "Cyperaceae" under Z;7V//r/^5-A7/i' w//- 

 cronulaius, mentions these tubercles, and Chapman, in his "Flora of 

 the Southern States." Grows in abundance in moist sands. 



Hemicarpho, subsquarrosa, Nees, var. Drummoiidii, Gray. At 

 Millers, Ind. 



Carex Eiiwwnsii, Dew. A variety with the bracts considerably 

 longer than the culm. At Whiting. 



TriticuM violaceiivi, Hornemann. Not uncommon at Whiting. 



Selaginella selaginoides, Link. Mackinac, in springs above the 

 cliff known as the "Lover's Leap." In Wheeler and Smith's Cata- 

 logue only credited to Isle Royal. 



Selaginella rupestris. Spring. Grows on sand hills at Millers, at 

 Manistee, and near Traverse City. Associated at Millers and Manis- 

 tee with Hudsonia to?nentosa. The little plant is often nearly buried in 

 the shifting sands. 



Lechea Novcz-Caesarece, C. F. Austin. In open sandy woods, 

 near ToUeston, Lake Co., Ind. Having found, last September, what 

 I took to be this plant, specimens were sent to \Vm. H. Leggett, of 

 New York, who makes a specialty of this genus, and the determina- 

 tion was susta'ined.
