(2415.) P. pusillus, Linn., var. elongatirs, Bennett, MS , 1890. 



"A form of P. pusillus, that so far as I know has received no 

 name. In my herbarium I have marked it ' P. pusillus, var. elongata, 

 mihi.' I have specimens from Hungary that are very near these from 

 B.C. It has some of the faces of P. rutilus, Wolf. ; but that has much 

 sharper leaves, with long stipules and rigid stems. There is no fruit, 

 but the sepals (perianth segments) are large and long-hafted. I find, 

 on referring to. my notes, that exactly similar specimens to yours are 

 in the British Mus. Herb., named ' P. rutilus, Wolf.' It certainly 

 does bear a resemblance to a specimen I have named P. ccespitosus, 

 Notte ! (leg. JSTotte 7; = P. rutilus, Wolf. !) but the likeness is only super- 

 ficial." (Bennett, Letter, March 3rd, 1890.) Spallumsheen River, 

 at and above Enderby, B.C., July 10th, 1889. (J. M .Macoun.) 



(2446.) P. mucronatus, Schrad. ; Macoun, Cat, IV., 88. 



" I name this now P. Friesii, Ruprecht in Bert. d. Buss. Reiches, 

 1845. There is good reason to think that Schroder's plant was the var. 

 acuminatus, Schun. of P. lucens. This was (Herb. Glasgow) gathered 

 by the Franklin Expedition." (Bennett.} Winter River, and Sea Cow 

 Pond, Prince Edward Island, 1888. (Macoun.) Spallumsheen River, 

 at Enderby, B.C. (J. M. Macoun.) 



(2447.) For P. rutilans, Wolfgang ; Macoun, Cat. IV., 88, read 

 P. rutilus, Wolgang in Roem. & Schultze, Veg. Sys. Mant. 3, 

 p. 362 (1S27.) " It is the P. ccespitosus of Nolte." (Bennett.) 



(3189.) P. vaginatus, Turcz., Flora baiclensi-dahurica, 1856. 

 (Siberia.) 



"This plant, placed under P. pectinatus, in Ledebour's Flora Rossica, 

 vol. 4, is stated by Dr. Kihlman (of Helsingfors) in Botanisha Notisea, 

 1887, page 85, to have been brought from " Saskatchewan, Canada, 

 Bourgeau, Palliser's Exp., 1858." (Bennett.} Buffalo Lake, N.W.T., 

 Lat. 56, 1888. (J. M. Macoun.) 



(3190.) P. flabellata, Babington. 



Mr. Bennett sent a specimen of this to Mr. Babington, who names it 

 as above. It belongs to the same group as P. pectinatus. North Pond, 

 near East Point, Prince Edward Island, 1888. (Macoun.) "(No. 11)
