1 6 John Mallory Bates 



Britton says " moist thickets and meadows." A very pretty 

 species ; should be looked for in the other eastern counties. 

 i6. C. longirostris Torr. On dry wooded slopes, Valentine; 

 Long Pine (Bates); Nebraska City; "Bluffs of the Mis- 

 souri"; Dismal River, Thomas Co. (Uni.). Also Halsey. 



17. C. grisea Wahl. In rich woods. Nemaha (Bates) ; Pauline 



(Dr. Hapeman) ; Nebraska City; Crete, Saline Co.; Ash- 

 land, Saunders Co. (Uni.). 



a. var. angustifolia Boott. (C aniphibola Steud.). Ne- 

 braska City (Uni.). A very variable species. Our 

 forms unite the characters of the species and variety in 

 a way quite impossible to separate. One of the Ne- 

 braska City collections conforms so nearly to the variety 

 that I have thought best to enter it there. 



18. C. granularis Muhl. In low meadows. Kennedy; Burwell ; 



Loup City; St. Paul; Red Cloud (Bates) ; Fremont; Plum- 

 mer's Ford, Thomas Co. (Uni.). Long overlooked and 

 doubtless more widely spread. 



19. C. crawei Dewey. In similar situations, probably on a little 



higher ground. Merriman, Cherry Co.; Bassett, Rock Co.; 

 O'Neill, Holt Co. ; Burwell, Garfield Co. ; Scotia, Greeley 

 Co. ; Loup City, Sherman Co. ; St. Paul, Howard Co. 

 (Bates) ; Minden, Kearney Co. (Dr. Hapeman) ; Valentine, 

 Cherry Co.; Central City, Merrick Co. (Uni.). 



20. C. oligocarpa Schk. " In dry woods and thickets." Nebraska 



City (LTni.) ; collected by J. J. Thornber only. 



21. C. tetanica var. woodii (Dewey) Bailey. In low meadows. 



Minden (Dr. .Hapeman) ; Oshkosh, Deuel Co. (Uni.), R. J. 

 Pool, June 5, 19 1 2. We need more searching for this plant. 

 The material is not quite satisfactory. 



22. C. meadii Dewey. In same soil as crawei and easily confused 



with it. A good species. Minden (Dr. Hapeman) ; Wood 

 River, Hall Co.; O'Neill and Inman, Holt Co. (Bates); 

 Crete; Lincoln; Nebraska City (Uni.). 



23. C. laxiflora Lam. var. gracillima Boott. In dry thickets.

 tiary; Red Cloud; Scotia; Bordeaux, Dawes Co.; Johns-
