 Knieskern :iT,. — ^Willis 66. — Englemann Trans. St. Louis Acad. IL 460. 

 1868.— Gray Man. Ed. L 1848. 



Common in the streams of the Pine Barrens, and rare and 

 local in the northern counties. This species is especially inter- 

 esting from the curious submersed thread-like leaves that grow 

 from the root stalk and which are spread out in the current like 

 masses of waving hair. 



In a dam at Fairton, Cumberland Co., I found long non-fruit- 

 ing stems of a Juncus growing in deep water, which I have no 

 doubt belonged to this species, probably washed down from the 

 Pine Barrens of the interior.
