basi valde lignescenti stoloniferoque plerumque 3-5 mm. crasso; 

 ramis floriferis adscendentibus 0.3-1 m. longis; foliis anguste ellipticis 

 vel elliptico-laneeolatis acuminatis vel acutis 0.5-2 dm. longis 0.8-4 

 cm. latis; ocreis laxe cylindricis strigosis ciliatis, ciliis 2-5 mm. 

 longis; pedunculis erectis elongatis; spicis filiformibus plerumque 

 0.4-1 dm. longis alternifloris, rhachi purpurascenti ; ocreolis eiliatis: 

 perianthiis lacteis 2-3 mm. longis, epunetatis vel rare punctatis: 

 achaeniis vaeuis. 



Nova Scotia: in great abundance in peat and granite gravel 

 bordering outlet of Lamb's Lake, Annapolis Co. July 19, 1921 

 (foliage), Fcrnald, Bartram, Long & Fassett, no. 23,802, August 29, 

 Fernald & Long, no. 23,803 (type in Gray Herb.) and in PI. Exsicc. 

 Gray., September 16, Donald McPherson, no. 23,804. 



Exactly combining the aspect and characters of the two species, 

 both of which occur with or near it. In its coarse habit with stout 

 subligneous base nearer P. robustius; in foliage intermediate; in the 

 spike showing the slender habit of P. hydro piper vides and the purple 

 color of the rhachis, but in the large milk-white flowers and the great 

 length of the spikes suggesting P. robustius. Practically all the achenes 

 are empty. Out of 135 sheets of specimens collected on x\ugust 29 

 we were able to secure only 5 partially filled achenes; while a mass of 

 100 or more older inflorescences collected in September by Mr. 

 McPherson yielded no good achenes.
