46 NEW YORK STATE jMUSEUM 



when fresh, with a suggestion of succulency (as described by 

 Greene), 3-7 cm long, 5-9 mm wide, acute or acuminate, but without 

 a distinctly attenuate apex, broadest near the base which is abruptly 

 narrowed to an obtuse or rounded sessile base. 



In bogs and on bogg}- shores of lakes and ponds. Common on the 

 north and south shores of Oneida lake, about lakes and ponds in the 

 Adriondacks, and locally elsewhere in the St Lawrence basin and 

 the region west of the Adirondacks. 



Doellingeria umbellata (Mill.) Nees, var. oneidica, var. nov. 



Leaves firmer in texture than in the typical species, scarcely paler 

 beneath, only the branches of the small, compact inflorescence 

 pubescent ; upper leaves conspicuously reduced and linear-lanceolate ; 

 those directly beneath the inflorescence often but i to 3 cm long and 

 strongly ascending; pappus white. 



Long lake, Oneida county. House. Type. 



Blephilia hirsuta (Pursh) Torrey forma albiflora, forma nova 

 Corollas white. Taberg. C. //. F<?c^ (state herbarium). 



Viola pedata L., var. lineariloba DC. forma alba (Thurber) 



comb. nov. 

 Viola pedata var. alba Thurber, Torr. Club Bui., 1:20. 1870 



The type of this form is from Flushing, Long Island (Allen). 

 It is also reported from Suffolk county, Coles (Torr. Club Bui., 

 2: 23. 1871) and from the pine plains north of Rome, Oneida 

 county, Paine (Torr. Club Bui., i: 22. 1870), where it was again 

 observed by the writer in 1920. Britton (Torr. Club Bui., 17: 23. 

 1890) makes it a form of V. pedata, but all these white-flowered 

 forms from New York appear to belong to the var. lineariloba 

 DC. 



Panicum aculeatum Hitchc. & C^ase 



Sandy thickets along the shore of Oneida lake, near Syfvan Beach. 

 House 8140, June 20, 192 1. 



Carex Frankii Kunth 

 In a small marshy depression in a pasture along edge of woods, 

 east of Oneida. H. D. House, Sept. i, 1918. (Determined by 

 Mackenzie). Mistaken at the time for poor specimens of C. 

 B a i 1 e y i Britton. The pasture is continuously occupied by cattle, 

 and another search in the autumn of 192 1 failed to reveal any addi- 

 tional specimens.
