A. D. SELBY, WOOSTER, OHIO. 
In the course of each year new plants or interesting 
observations are recorded by one situated as is an Exper- 
iment Station Botanist. These, to be sure, are sometimes 
more numerous, sometimes fewer, as well as of varying 
importance. A good many matters are contributed by 
correspondents of the Station. For the year 1900 these 
matters assume about the usual range and variety. They 
are offered here as possessing possible interest to the mem- 
bers of the Academy. 
The following notes relate to phanerogamic plants, 
which appear for the most part to be unrecorded: 
Potamogeton Nutallu, Cham. & Sch. 
Doner’s Lake, Wayne county, 1899. A. D. Selby. 
Carex conoidea, Schkr. 
A broad—leaved sort for which the varietal name latifolia 
is suggested. Collected at Gypsum, Ottawa county, 
©; 1806, by J; C: Britton: 
Quercus alba x imbricaria? 
A single tree of small size, at Lakeville, Holmes county, 
O., with pronounced aspect of Q. alba, save in the elon- 
gated, short-lobed leaves, which obviously approach 
those of Q. imbricaria; of the latter there are typical 
trees closely adjacent. While midsummer specimens 
in 1900 show an abundance of very small acorns no 
mature fruit could be found. Upon some leaf speci- 
mens there is a narrowed, elongated basal portion 
which is very striking. Although certain resemblances 
to Q. acuminata may suggest themselves, this species 
has not been observed in the immediate region.
