  This 
  very 
  

  

  variable 
  species 
  was 
  abundant 
  in 
  the 
  grassy 
  beach 
  of 
  hving 
  

   Chase 
  lake 
  where 
  it 
  occurred 
  together 
  with 
  Lobelia 
  Kalmii 
  

   and 
  L. 
  syphilitica. 
  The 
  Gerardia 
  presented 
  constantly 
  an 
  

   unusually 
  colored 
  corolla. 
  The 
  general 
  hue 
  was 
  light 
  rose 
  

   purple, 
  but 
  the 
  interior 
  of 
  the 
  upper 
  lip 
  was 
  blotched 
  with 
  dark 
  

   crimson 
  and 
  orange, 
  while 
  both 
  lips 
  were 
  slightly 
  bearded.

  — 
  A 
  rare 
  plant 
  in 
  

   mesota. 
  Found 
  in 
  a 
  Brainerd 
  bog, 
  associated 
  with 
  Ha- 
  

   benana 
  hyperborea, 
  Chelone 
  glabra 
  and 
  Campanula 
  apari- 
  

   noides. 
  

  

  _ 
  A 
  great 
  variety 
  of 
  sedges 
  was 
  noted 
  in 
  the 
  forest-lake 
  re- 
  

   gion 
  west 
  of 
  Gull 
  lake. 
  Almost 
  every 
  pond 
  has 
  some 
  form 
  

   growing 
  abundantly 
  along 
  its 
  shores 
  which 
  is 
  sparingly 
  repre- 
  

   sented 
  at 
  neighboring 
  ponds 
  or 
  entirely 
  absent. 
  Of 
  these, 
  

   however, 
  the 
  study 
  is 
  incomplete 
  as 
  yet:
