Annual Report of the State Botanist. 37 



another specimen the central green line is replaced by a row of green 

 spots. Two specimens have the petals almost wholly green, the 

 extreme apex and adjacent margins only being white. Between these 

 extremes all degrees of variation in the extent of the green coloring 

 exist. The plants grew in abundance, about a hundred specimens 

 having been found. Mrs. G. adds in an accompanying note that two 

 specimens were found in which not only the petals but also the sepals 

 were wholly white. 



Eleocharis quadrangulata, R. Br. 

 Lake Neahtowantah, near Fulton, Oswego county. Goville. 



Paspalum setaceum, BIx. 

 A form was found near Manor, often having two spikes from the 



upper sheath. 



Equisetum variegatum, Schl. 



Greene, Chenango county, Goville. Also near Lerayville, Jefferson 



county. 



Equisetum palustre, L. 



Banks of the railroad near Lake Bonaparte, Lewis county. Some- 

 times two or three fertile stems spring from the same root. 



Tricholoma transmutans, Fk. 



Common in spruce and balsam groves in North Elba, where it is 

 associated with T. wibricatum and T. vaccinum, which it resembles in 

 color, and in its farinaceous odor and taste, but from which it is 

 readily distinguished by its viscid pileus. It belongs to the group of 

 which T. fulvellum, T. fiavohrunneum and T. alhrohrunneum are repre- 

 sentatives, and, though closely allied to these species, it is quite 

 distinct from them. It is an edible species. 



Clitopilus Noveboracensis var. brevis, n. var. 



Pileus abundantly rivulose, plane or slightly depressed, pallid or 

 subrufescent and pure white on the margin when moist, wholly white 

 or whitish when dry; lamellae slightly decurrent; stem short, about 

 one inch long. 



Groves of spruce and balsam. North Elba. Sept. 



This variety manifests a tendency to grow in lines or in arcs of 

 circles. It is often somewhat C£espitose. The white margin of the 

 moist pileus is due to a silky web of interwoven white filaments. 

 This with the short stem and less deeply decurrent lamellee separate 

 the variety from the typical form.
