SOME NEW LACINIARIAE [77 
of the upper series. All Mr. Deam’s specimens come from Steuben 
Co: and 
The var. swbcymosa has also unusually long, linear and falcate 
leaves of the upper series. The type belongs to the herbarium 
of the University of Notre Dame, bearing its number 6659, and 
was collected in Sept. 1876 by W. W. Calkins in Cook Co., Il. 
Regarding the var. corymbulosa Sheldon I refer to its author’s 
description. 
The var. virginiana with its rather narrowly hemispherical 
heads is a fine representative from Greenbier Co., West Virginia, 
where it was collected by Mr. K. K. Mackenzie in August 1903, 
recognizable by his number 363 in Mr. Deam’s herbarium as type 
specimen. a : 
The var. strictissima appears to be a prairie plant of wide 
distribution, Mr. Deam having one specimen from Steuben Co., 
Ind. (with 6 mm. long achenes), University of Notre Dame (no. 
5392) one sheet from W. W. Calkins collection dated Aug., 1907, 
Berwyn, IIl., another collected by F. E. McDonald, Peoria, Ill., 
Aug. 1904 (type), both the latter ones named L. scariosa, lastly 
one collected by B. F. Bush at Lee’s Summit, Mo., Sept. 1906 
(his number 4057). 
The var. virgata, nearly related to the last variety, is of the Fitz- 
Fitzpatrick collection, and the type, grown on the prairie of Johnson 
Co., Iowa, is incorporated with the Chas. C. Deam herbarium. 
The var. Novae-Angliae resembles closely the var. multiplex 
of the North Dakota group, but differs in its bracts. Bearing 
the serial number 5391 in the University of Notre Dame herbarium, 
the type was collected as L. squarrosa Willd. by A. H. Young in 
Sept., 1874, at New Haven, Conn. 
The var. intermedia, resembles var. angustata and var. pro- 
pinqua in having its leaves rather approximate. It stands near 
to v. strictussima in its very long, not interrupted raceme and 
equally distant, short-pedicelled heads. Its leaves, except those 
of the inflorescence and next to it, being petioled, is a character 
suggestive of var. petiolata. Collected by Mr. Chas. C. Deam in 
Porter County, Ind., on a cleared sand dune, Aug. 14, 1911, and 
registered under his number 9620. 
The other varieties, numbered 1-9, are reported on pages 
159-162 under the heading: New Plants from Minnesota II., 
and var. opima on pages 92 and 93, Vol. II. of this journal.
