CATALOGUE OF CANADIAN PLANTS. 183 



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



Canada. (Hooker, FL) Magdalen Islands, KS. (McKay.*) 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 brackish marshes, and certainly the awn and other 

 distinctive characters were just as well marked as in the specimens 

 from the Great Lakes.
