CATALOGUE OP CANADIAN PLANTS. 183 



(2715.) S. polystachya, Willd.; Hook., Fl. II., 242, in part. 



Canada. {Hooker, FL) Magdalen Islands, N.S. (McKaij.) We 

 strongly suspect that these references belong to S. cynosuroides. The 

 remark in Gray's Manual that S. cynosuroides is only a fresh-water 

 species, is not borne out by the facts, as all my eastern specimens 

 were gathered in bracki-h marshes, and certainly the awn and other 

 distinctive characters were just as well marked as in the specimens 

 from the Great Lakes.
