REPORT OF THE STATE BOTANIST FOR 1 92 1 49 



Oswego County 



Carex scoparia var. tessellata Fernald & Wiegand 



(Rhodora, 12: 135. 1910) 



Kasoag marsh. Dr C. H. Peck. This has been labelled by Peck 



as " C. scoparia minor Boott," which is C, Crawfordii 



Fernald. The plants are but 2 to 3 dm high, the 2 to 6 spikes 



crowded into a dense inflorescence, which makes the plant resemble 



C. Crawfordii. The scales, however, are brownish and 



narrower than the body of the perigynia.

Limodorum tuberosum L. 



The leaves of this orchid are usually 5 to 15 mm broad and vary 

 exceedingly in length, those in more exposed situations usually 

 being shorter. In Oswego county occurs a rather remarkable 

 extreme in which the leaves are exceedingly narrow (2 to 4 mm 

 broad), long and grasslike, exactly simulating those of the southern 

 L. graminifolium (Ell.) Small. This form may be desig- 

 nated as forma linariifolium, forma nova.
