Woopsia scopuLtina D. C. Eaton. In Rydberg’s 
Flora of the Rocky Mountains (1917), this species is 
reported from the Great Craggy Mountains, North 
Carolina. This fact was overlooked by the writer in 
1919? when reporting W. scopulina from the vicinity of 
Old Sweet, West Virginia, a supposed new record for the 
eastern United States. The basis of the North Carolina 
record is material in the herbarium of the New York 
Botanical Garden collected “in the sun, upon a cliff of 
the Great Craggy Mountains, Buncombe County, North 
Carolina, at an elevation of about 5,000 feet,” and sent 
by James H. Ferriss to Prof. L. M. Underwood in Sep- 
tember, 1901. This material, as shown by a portion 
deposited in the National Herbarium, is quite typical. 
Aside from these two outlying southern stations the 
known range of this species is as follows: Alaska (two 
localities) to Quebec (Gaspé County), Ontario, South 
Dakota, Colorado, and Utah (ascending to 3,300 meters), 
and in the Sierra Nevada sparingly to Tulare County, 
California. 
EQUISETUM VARIEGATUM Schleich. In their . recent 
Flora of the Northwest Coast, 1915, Piper and Beattie 
in referring to the occurrence of L. variegatum in Wash- 
ington suggest the probability of its occurrence farther
