Rynchospora glomerata leptocarpa Chapman, Britton, Trans. N. Y. Acad.. 

 Sci. II. 88. 1892 [So. CaroHna]. 



Apparently rather frequent in the heart of the Pine Barrens. 

 This is a more slender form with narrower leaves, perhaps identi- 

 cal with minor of Britton. The variety discutiens^ of Clarke is 

 reported from New Jersey, but I have not found it.

 ville to Solola Mt.]. — Long, Bartonia II. 19. 1910. 



Occasional and perhaps more abundant than it at present ap- 

 pears to be. Its close resemblance to R. glomerata mal-ces it 

 difficult to recognize.
