FERGUSON: CONTRIBUTIONS TO FLORA OF LONG ISLAND 181 
dm. tall with leaf blades 3 dm. long. Such plants further south 
would undoubtedly pass as S. longirostra.” 
The writer has not yet found this type of arrowhead outside 
of the Pine Barrens and it is suggestive to realize that the robust 
plant referred to above by Mr. Bicknell undoubtedly grew in 
much richer soil. 
Is there a Sagittarza with long oblique beak that is specifically 
distinct from that described above as Sagiuaria Engelmanniana 
J. G. Smith or is the more robust plant due to the more favorable 
conditions that one would expect outside of the Pine Barrens? 
It is to be hoped that Mr. Bayard Long will soon publish the 
result of his study of this subject. 
Sagitiaria latifolia Willd. 
Although widely distributed throughout Long Island the 
writer has not found this Arrowhead in the Pine Barrens. 
Writing of this experience to Mr. Bayard Long, Mr. Long 
replied that neither he nor his associates had ever found it in 
the Pine Barrens of New Jersey.
