BHPORT OF THE STATE BOTANIST. 19 



Polygonum, nodosum Pers. 

 Shore of Lake ChampLaiu near Eouses Point. September. 



Potamogeton heterophyllus Schreb 

 Both variety maxivius and variety minimus are found in War- 

 ner's lake, near East Berne. The latter was in fruiting condition 

 in September, but the former at the same time bore no fruit, 

 although it had flower spikes. 



Panicum capillars L. var. flexile Gait. 

 Rocky places near Whitehall. September. 



MuMenbergia sobolifera Trin. 

 This grass is found as far north as Whitehall, where it grows 

 in dry soil about rocky clifiFs. 



Lycopodium clavatum X. 



A singular sterile form of this clubmoss was found by Mr. 

 Harrison near Lebanon Springs. The usual peduncles, instead 

 of terminating in fruiting spikes, are excessively prolonged, some 

 of them being 12 or 14 inches long, and they remain wholly 

 sterile, no fruit spike developing. 



Tricholoma terreum Schwf. var. fragrans Peck. 



Near Ticonderoga, also near Elizabethtown. September. 



If this species was not very variable, the variety here noticed 

 might easily be regarded as a distinct species. It has a decided 

 farinaceous odor and flavor, the pileus becomes paler with age 

 and the young moist flesh, which is brownish, fades to white 

 when drv. The lamellte are rather thin, close and adnate, and 

 the stem, in some forms at least, is solid and white. 



Hebeloma Colvini Pk. var. velatum w. var. 

 Scattered or casspitose ; pileus convex, plane or even slightly 

 depressed, brittle, obtuse or umbonate, adorned with a tomentose 

 veil, which either disappears with age or persists and makes the 

 pileus obscurely floccose-scaly or its margin silky or floccose ; 

 lamellse rather close, subventricose, adnexed ; stem equal, brittle, 

 hollow, silky- fibrillose and often somewhat floccose-squamose 

 toward the base, sometimes annulate with a thick, soft, cottony
