POLYPODIACEAE: 
Adiantum pedatum L. In rich woods, common. 
(Two or three other members of this family occur, but I was 
unable to determine them.) 
OPHIOGLOSSACEAE: 
Botrychium virginianum (L.) Sw. Occasional in woods. 
EQUISETACEAE: 
Equisetum arvense L. Abundant in low ground. 
Equisetum hyemale L., var. robustum (A. Br.) A. A. Eaton. Low 
ground, not common. 
PINACEAE: 
Juniperus virginiana L. Occasional on open hillsides. 
TYPHACEAE: 
Typha latifolia L. Not common, owing to absence of any large area 
of marshy ground in the district. 
ALISMACEAE: 
Sagittaria latifolia Willd. Moist river-shores, infrequent. 
GRAMINEAE: 
‘No attempt was made to determine these. The only species 
that I can positively affirm as growing in the district were: 
Andropogon virginicus L. Common in sterile soil. 
Panicum capillare L. Abundant in cultivated fields. 
Echinochloa Crus-galli (L.) Beauy. Common in barn-yards and 
waste places. 
Digitaria sanguinalis (L.) Scop. Common in door-yards. 
Setaria viridis (L.) Beauv. Abundant in fields. 
Phleum pratense L. A common escape. 
Agrostis alba L. Not cultivated, but common. 
Eleusine indica Gaertn. Common in door-yards. 
Eragrostis hypnoides (Lam.) BSP. Abundant on river-shores. 
Dactylis glomerata L. An occasional escape. 
Poa pratensis L. Common in cultivation, and freely escaping. 
Elymus virginicus L. Dry, open ground, common. 
Hystrix patula Moench. Common in woods. 
CYPERACEAE: 
Here again nothing was done. The genera Eleocharis, Cyp- 
erus, Scirpus and Carex were all represented, but not fully, owing 
to the infrequency of marsh-land. The most characteristic Carex 
was a form with broad evergreen leaves, growing in woods. It 
evidently belonged to the section Careyanae, and I suspect was 
C. platyphylla Carey.
