394 GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF CANADA. 



703. TRISETUM. 



(2809.) T. canescens, Buckl.; Macoun, Cat. IV., 211. 

 Not uncommon in thickets at Agassiz, B.C., May, 1889. (Macoun.) 



(2810.) T. cernuum, Trin.; Macoun, Cat. IV., 210. 



Not uncommon in thickets at Yale, on the Fraser, and Craigellachie, 

 in the Gold Range, B.C. 1889. (Macoun.) 



704. AVENA. 



(2840.) A. Smithii, T. C. Porter; Gray, Man., ed. VI., 653. 



" Closely allied to, but distinct from, Melica aristata. Neither of 

 these can be referred to Melica, and they are no better classified when 

 placed in Avena. Bromelica (Thurber as a section of Melica) might be 

 raised to the rank of a genus, and made to include these and two or 

 three other species which at present are evidently out of place in the 

 genera to which they have been referred. Your No. 52 would then be 

 Bromelica Smithii." (Scribner.) Rather common in damp thickets at 

 Agassiz, B.C., May, 1887. (Macoun.) Prof. Scribner refers my 

 No. 2840 (Melica aristata) to this species, so references under it are 

 transferred here. 



715. EATONIA. 



(2832.) E. Obtusata, Gray ; Macoun, Cat. IV., 218. 



Two forms of this species were collected : " (a) Culm slender, 40 cm. 

 high, panicle 4 cm. long : green plant, with the aspect of Kceleria cristata, 

 and may be named sub-var. kcelerioides. (b) Culm 90 cm. high, panicle 

 15 cm. long, interrupted, dark purple." (Scribner.) The first form 

 was gathered on the Indian Reservation at Kamloops, B.C. ; the second 

 at Griffin Lake ; in the Gold Range, B.C. 1889. (Macoun.) 



(2833.) E. Pennsylvanica, Gray; Macoun, Cat., IV., 218. 

 Borders of ponds south of Kamloops, B.C., June, 1889, (Macoun.) 



718. MELICA. 



(2839.) M. acuminata, Bolander; Macoun, Cat. IV., 220. 

 Grassy thickets at Agassiz, B.C., May, 1889. (Macoun.)
