giz BICKNELL: FERNS AND 
Hordeum jubatum L. Reported by Mrs. Flynn as having 
been found by her as early as 1895. Collected at Siasconset, 
September 14, 1915, by Miss Gardner. 
Hordeum vulgare L. Awned and awnless forms are frequent in 
old fields. 
Eleocharis tricostata Torr. Almanac Pond remains the only 
known station on Nantucket for this spike rush. It was in early 
flower there June 11, 1912. 
Scirpus validus Vahl. Less infrequent than at first appeared. 
Additional stations are: head of hummock Pond; Squam Pond; 
South Shore ponds; Coatue. 
Carex hirta L. A second station is in a damp lot back of the 
Springfield House, where it was well established June II, 1911. 
Carex stricta Lam. Additional localities are near Long Pond 
and in a bog on Little Neck. 
Carex virescens Muhl. At Beechwood, in woodland shade, 
occurs a taller form, dark green, with much reddened sheaths and 
narrow spikes, liable to be mistaken for C. costellata Britton. 
This is not an uncommon form in shaded woodland, and furnishes 
examples, such as I referred to in Part III of this series, that 
correspond accurately with Schkuhr’s original illustration of this 
species. ; | 
Carex leptalea Wahl. Additional localities are Shawankemmo 
meadow, Sachacha Pond, Little Neck bog. 
Carex muricata L. Found as far from the town as beyond the 
water works, at Tristram Coffin’s monument around the base of 
the shaft, south of the Thorn lot and east of Island Home. 
Carex incomperta Bicknell. A second station is a boggy place 
near Monomoy, about one and one half miles from the type 
locality—June 28, 1912. 
Carex Howei Mackenzie, Bull. Torrey Club 37: 245. .- ror. 
Mr. Mackenzie has thus renamed this distinct sedge, the name C. 
delicatula, given to it in Part III of this series, having been pre- 
occupied by its employment earlier the same year by C. B. Clarke 
in the Kew Bulletin. .
