Some of these species had evidently been introduced, for 



example Dactylis glomerata, Fes- 

 tuca elatior, Phleum pratense and 

 Holcus lanatus, but all among those 

 not natives, excepting the orchard 

 grass and tall fescue, were well es- 

 tablished. Deschampsia flexuosa, 

 growing in exposed situations on 

 rocks and ledges, was one of the 

 most conspicuous and showy spe-

 P. cornpressa were quite generally 

 distributed, and so were the several

 High Blutl" about a half mile south- 

 west from the hotel. Glyceria elon- 

 gata was seen growing rather 

 abundantly along a stream near the 

 mountain summit and I mention it 

 particularly to call attention to the 

 fact of the discovery of this northern 

 grass within the southern states. 

 For the same reason I would speak 

 of the finding of Trisetum subspic- 

 atum var. molle. Poa aisodes, found 

 several years ago on Black Moun- 

 tain by Mr. Wm. M. Canby, was 

 seen at several points, but not in 

 any quantity. Danthonia spicata 

 occupied its usual station in dry s oli

 A I lion e may be 



Agrostis rupestris of Chapman's Flora, but its identity with the plant of 

 questioned. The same form occurs on the mountains of New Enghinu.
