Puccinellia distans (L.) Parl. 
Low shores of Onondaga lake, Salina. Dr J. V. Haberer, July 
5, 1884. No. 3301. The range of this species in America is usually 
given as salt marshes and on ballast along the coast from Nova 
Scotia to Delaware. The Salina locality seems to be the only report 
of its occurrence inland. The species is not regarded as native 
to America, but there is apparently some doubt upon this point. 
Mrs L. L. Goodrich (Plants of Onondaga county, page 42, 1912) 
records Puccinellia maritima from the Salt marshes at 
Solvay in 1887. 
6 SCHENECTADY COUNTY 
The northwest side of Featherstone lake in the town of Duanes- 
burg exhibits a wonderfully fine gradation from lake to bog and 
bog to woodland. The shallow water of the lake on the side 
toward the bog contains the following water-loving plants: 
Castalia odorata (Ait.) Woodville & Wood 
Nymphaea variegata (Engelm.) G. S. Miller 
Brasenia schreberi Gmel. 
Scirpus americanus Pers. 
Pontederia cordata L. 
Eriocaulon articulatum (Huds.) Morong 
Potamogeton natans L. 
Between the water and the woodland is a strip of sphagnum 
from 15 to 30 feet broad, which is the home of many characteristic 
bog plants, such as: 
Drosera rotundifolia L. 
Andromeda glaucophylla Link. 
Menyanthes trifoliata L. 
Oxycoccus macrocarpus (Ait.) Pers. 
Eriophorum virginicum L. 
Sarracenia purpurea L.
