REPORT OF THE STATE BOTANIST FOR \C)24 3 1 



•'•Lycopodium clavatum var. megastachyon Fernald & Bissell 

 In low woods near New London. H. D. House, July 15, 1918. 



*Equisetum laevigatum A. Br. 



Sandy shores of Oneida lake, at Sylvan Beach. H. D. House 

 5450, June 5, 1914. Previously reported as E. hyemale inter- 

 medium. Doctor Haberer has also collected a proliferous 

 branched form at Oneida lake." 



*Typha angustifolia L. 



Common along the shores of Oneida lake at South Bay, Madison 



county, and elsewhere along the south shore of the lake and more 



rarely inland east of the lake. Most of the plants growing along 



the lake belong to the so-called variety longispicata Peck." 



Typha latifolia L. 

 In 1886 Professor Dudley^^ described from the Cayuga marshes 

 a variety "elongata," of the common cat-tail. The specimens 

 in the state herbarium from the Cayuga marshes, sent by Professor 

 Dudley, and which presumably represent his variety, since they are 

 so labeled by him, have the pistillate spikes 20-23 cm long, and 2-2.5 

 cm thick. Professor Dudley states that the leaves are 2-3^/2 mm 

 wide, but the specimens in the state herbarium have leaves 5-10 mm 

 wide and convex. It is quite possible that his elongata occurred 

 in both Typha latifolia and T. angustifolia. The 

 same extreme occurs in specimens of both Typha latifolia 

 and Typha angustifolia in the Oneida lake region, and 

 in both cases numerous gradations between forms with very long 

 pistillate spikes and forms with very short pistillate spikes are not 

 lacking. 



*Potamogeton americanus C. & S. 



In shallow water. South Bay, Madison county. H. D. House 



='-Potamogeton bupleuroides Fernald 

 Oneida lake, off Verona beach lighthouse. W. C. Muenscher

Abundant in an extensive bog on the sand plains about 6 mile^^ 



west of Rome. July 12, 1919. Kneiskern reported this species as 



abundant in the swamps near Rome man\- years arjo.
