Setiscapella cleistogama (A. 
Gray) Barnhart of The II- 
lustrated Flora. 
Late in September 1923, the writer found a large colony of 
these plants growing on the sandy shore of Long Pond, Wading 
River where earlier in the season in former years typical Setis- 
capella subulata grew. The plants varied from 1 to 3 cm. high 
with small bluish heads and on the larger ones an occasional 
small yellow flower. The writer did not realize that this was the 
Setiscapella cleistogama of The Illustrated Flora, but considered 
it a depauperate form of S. subulata due to the late date com- 
bined with an abnormally dry season and unfortunately with 
this view did not keep the specimens.
