uvial banks, Chastang’s Bluff, Sept. 1, 1879,” labeled ‘ Stexophyl- 
lus Stenophyllus”’/ 
HEMICARPHA MICRANTHA (Vahl) Pax. 
Seen only on a gentle slope of soft shale (Black Bluff formation), 
perpetually moistened by water trickling down from the second- 
bottom deposits a few feet higher up, just below Beckley’s Landing, 
a mile or two north of Myrtlewood, Marengo County, Oct. 13 
(zo. 123). The bulk of the vegetation in this habitat consisted of 
Dianthera americana and various Cyperaceae, one more of which 
is mentioned below, 
This is another species which I have never seen elsewhere in 
the South. Dr. Mohr reported it from “ Low, damp sandy ground, 
most frequent in flat open grassy pine barrens”’ (which by the way 
would be a very unusual habitat for /femzcarpha), in Washington, 
Clarke, and Mobile counties ; but the only specimen so labeled in 
his herbarium at the University (and I am informed that a similar 
state of affairs exists in his other collection, now deposited in the 
U. S. National Herbarium), from ‘‘ Close damp soil, pastures, etc. 
Mobile. April, May,” is Scirpus carinatus /* 
CypERuS INFLEXxUS Muhl. 
Collected at the same time and place as the preceding (vo. 724), 
and seen also at Jackson landing, where our river trip terminated. 
The occurrence of this species in Alabama was not known until I 
found it on Lookout Mountain in the fall of 1905,7 (or in. Georgia 
until I found it on flat granite rocks in Clarke and Clayton counties 
in the summer of 1900). 
HoMALOCENCHRUS LENTICULARIS (Michx.) Scribn. 
In wide densely wooded alluvial bottoms, about two miles west 
of Myrtlewood and the same distance from the Tombigbee River,

have been the first to find this species and the preceding in Worcester County, Massa- 
chusetts, pie two or three floras of the county had been published. (See Rhodora 1:
