uided writer to first locality. 
These plants have been determined by Professor M. L. 
Fernald. For a review of this group see Rhodora, Aug. 1918, 
‘Allies of Rynchospora macrostachya.”” M. L. Fernald. 
Rynchospora corniculata (Lam.) Gra 
The above plants were also determined by Dr. N. L. Britton 
as R. corniculata and so reported in my first paper, Torreya 
22: 43-49. Dr. Britton includes all forms of the large beaked 
Rynchospora under one species. See Britton & Brown's IIlus- 
trated Flora. 
Scleria reticularis Michx. Long Pond, Wading River. Pine 
barrens wet sand shore. 
Scleria Torreyana Walp. Central Islip. Grassy, sandy 
swamp. 
The name of Torreyana Walp. is in accordance with the 
opinion of Dr. N. L. Britton who, with the writer, has studied 
these Long Island plants at the New York Botanical Garden 
and compared them with the type Scleria setacea from Porto 
Rico. The Porto Rico plants have the achene very deeply 
reticulated and with sharp edges. The lobes of the hypogynium 
are rounded. Some characteristics of the above two Long Island 
plants are given herewith:
