iltrie, September 20, 1902 {no. 164.2). (In the herbarium 

 of the New York Botanical Garden no. 677 happens to be the best 

 specimen, but I will designate no. 164.2 as the type because I have 

 distributed more specimens of it, and still have some left.) It is 

 unmistakable when seen in the field, and I have also noted it in 

 similar situations in the counties of Dodge, Irwin, Berrien and 

 Dooly. A specimen in the Columbia University herbarium col-

Spartina Bakeri Merrill, Bull. Bureau Plant Industry U. S. 



Dept. Agr. 9 : 14. 1902 



In a recent paper * I described an unidentified Spartina (no. 

 2187) collected near Brunswick in May, 1904, and referred it 

 doubtfully to S. junciformis. A few days later I came across the 

 original description of S. Bakeri (a species which I had overlooked 

 before because it was not represented in the herbaria in New York 

 nor mentioned in Dr. Small's flora), and recognized it at once as 

 belonging to my plant. Prof. A. S. Hitchcock has since kindly 

 compared one of my specimens with the type in the U. S. Na- 

 tional Herbarium and pronounces them identical. Spartina Bakeri 

 was based on a specimen from Orange County, Florida, and was 

 reported at the same time from several other stations in the eastern 

 and central parts of that state ; but my station seems to be the 

 first outside of Florida. 



Rhynchospora leptorhyncha [Wright?] Sauv. An. Acad. 



Cienc. Habana 8 : 84. 1871 

 Originally described from Cuba (" En lagunas de poca pro- 

 fundidad, en los pinales de la Vuelta de Abajo"\ this species, or 

 something very near it, has turned up in pine-barren ponds in 

 Georgia. I have specimens from Sumter (no. 4.6 7, August 23, 

 1900) and Pulaski {no. 1377, June 26, 1902) counties in the 

 Lower Oligocene region, and have noted it about three miles south 

 of Douglas in the Altamaha Grit region. All my sp ecimens have
