Farwell has endeavored to separate P. boreale Greene from P. 
pubescens on the basis of the somewhat larger and more elliptical 
leaves of the former, but the variation between them is apparently 
continuous. Moreover, the two specimens cited above from 
Greenwood Lake, New Jersey, and Ephraim, Wisconsin, are 
exactly alike and correspond with the measurements given by 
Farwell for P. boreale. Hence, in the presence of intermediates, 
both cannot be recognized since they have the same range. 
1a. POLYGONATUM PUBESCENS CUNEATUM (Greene) Farwell 
Polygonatum cuneatum Greene, Leaflets 1: 181. 1906. 
Polygonatum pubescens cuneatum Farwell, Bull. Torrey Club 42: 
253. pl. 13, B. 1915. 
Described by Greene from near Turin, Marquette County, 
Michigan. According to Farwell it differs from P. pubescens only 
in having longer and relatively narrower leaves cuneate at the 
base. Known from Michigan to Pennsylvania and Connecticut. 
Connecticut: Berlin, 1870, T. S. Brandegee (Cal. 119680). 
PENNSYLVANIA: Bellwood, Blair County, May 18, 1904, O. E. 
Jennings (Cal. 69244). In these two specimens the leaves are 
20-25 mm. wide X 6-9 cm. long, the flowers small, greenish, 8-10 
mm. long.
