Lake Maxinkuckee, Physical and Biological Survey 429 

 758. PRAIRIE OR HAIRY BUTTON-SNAKEROOT 



LACINARIA PYCNOSTACHYA (Michx.) Kuntze 



Scattered among the grasses and sedges on low grounds east of 

 Lost Lake outlet. Common on the way from Lake Maxinkuckee 

 to Bass Lake where in places it was so abundant as to give its 

 color to the entire landscape, August 14, 1906. 



759. LARGE BUTTON-SNAKEROOT 



LACINARIA SCARIOSA (L.) Hill 



A few plants found in dry ground near the Lakeview Hotel. One 

 of the handsomest plants of autumn. Rather abundant on a hill- 

 side along the outlet. The plants growing here were remarkably 

 well developed and handsome, forming large pyramids of bloom. 

 The corymbs sat almost on top of the ground. These plants were 

 richly worthy of a place in any garden. 



760. DENSE BUTTON-SNAKEROOT 



LACINARIA SPICATA (L.) Kuntze 



In low wet places, similar to those in which L. pycnostachya is 

 found. Neither of the plants is particularly abundant. The wand- 

 like stems, towering straight and tall above the surrounding level 

 sea of grasses and sedges, are very striking. The plants were 

 found scattered in low grounds east of Lost Lake outlet. 



761. BLUE-STEMMED OR WREATH GOLDEN-ROD 



SOLIDAGO CAESIA L. 



Found on the hill by the ice-houses, in flower September 28, 

 1900, also on the ice-beach by a pond south of the lake (between 

 Farrar's and Overmyer's) , and high on a hill by Overmyer's field. 

 One of the most graceful and delicate of our golden-rods. It 

 grows best in moist shady places. It was noted out finely in blos- 

 som October 4, 1906. A perfect but miniature plant only four 

 inches high was noted in flower at Long Point in 1907. 



762. BROAD-LEAVED GOLDEN-ROD 



SOLIDAGO FLEXICAULIS L. 



Specimens were collected in the vicinity of the lake. It is a 

 rather well distributed form throughout the state, often found in 

 considerable abundance on the shady banks. Its delicate zigzag 

 stem and thin, toothed leaves, overtopped with a small delicate 

 panicle, give it a delicate gracefulness not common among golden-
