species. But this habital character is shown not to be constant by Mr. Nash’s 
no. 2313, which is exactly intermediate between C. graminifo/ia and the var. 
fatifolia. Mr. Nash's plant has approximate acute leaves smaller than in 
var. . latifolia, but at the same time much broader than in the true C. gramini- 
The akene of Mr. Nash’s plant is like that of C. graminifolia, while 
the pappus is short as in var. /atifolia. 
SPILANTHES STOLONIFERA DC. Prodr. 5: 621. 
This plant, previously known only from Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay, 
was found by Mr. Curtiss in low ground at Carrabelle, near Apalachicola, in 
June 1897 (no. 5882). The species is distinguished from S. repens by its 
lanceolate or linear-lanceolate, entire or remotely dentate, sessile or 
obscurely short-petiolate leaves. 
MARSHALLIA ANGUSTIFOLIA Pursh, var. CYANANTHERA Ell. Sk. 
Bs 3r7: 
Mr. Curtiss has recently found this well marked variety with Sarracenia, 
Tofieldia, etc., on seepy slopes of the pine barrens in Walton county, west 
Florida (no. 5932). The plant is distinguished from the handsome J. 
angustifolia by its slender simple stem, smaller, less conspicuous (Mr. Curtiss 
Says “actually insignificant”) heads, and by the short-acuminate involucrate 
bracts which are lanceolate or oblanceolate and much shorter than the 
linear-attenuate bracts of J’. angustifolia. Mr. Curtiss has formerly collected 
same form in the pine barrens of Liberty county. 
ANTHEMIS MIxTa L. Sp. Pl. 894. 
This common Mediterranean species was collected by Mr. Curtiss in 1886 
on ballast at Pensacola. It has recently been sent by him from the same 
Station (no. 5914), where it is apparently well established. 
Hieracium Marianum Willd. var. sparHuLATUM Gray, Syn. FI. 
1°: 455 (Suppl.). 
Several Florida specimens distributed as 7. Gronovii are identical with 
authentic Pennsylvanian specimens (collected by Traill Greene and Porter) 
Of 1. Marianum var. spathulatum. Mr. Nash's H. megacephaton, though a 
little more leafy, seems to be the same. As a variety of H. Marianum the 
plant seems tolerably well marked, but intermediate forms occur, notably a 
_ plant from Asheville, N.C., 1893 (B. L. Robinson, no. 26), which has the essen- 
_ ually radical and densely pubescent leaves of the variety, but the elongated 
paniculate inflorescence and somewhat smaller head of the species; and a 
leafy-stemmed plant from Garrett county, Maryland (John Donnell Smith), 
_ with the lower leaves pubescent as in var. sfathulatum.
