2162 the anthers are 0.8 mm. lon^, but the ligules only 1 mm.; 

 in C 2161, the anthers are intermediate, 1 mm., and the liy;ules 

 likewise 1 mm.; while in C 213S, the anthers are 1.2 mm. and 

 the upper ligules 2 mm. In view of this situation, it seems that 

 the relationships of these two species require careful reviewing, 

 particularly since the character afforded by the flowering glumes 

 seems not always satisfactory. 



MuHLENHERGiA UNiFLORA (Muhl.) Fernald. Ulster Co. :on 

 cliff, Shawangunk Mountain, near Maratanza Lake, 1935, M 

 S: Cn 5156. Although known from numerous localities in the 

 north, also from Westchester Co. and Long Island, this appears 

 to be the first record for the region of the Catskill Mountains. 



Panicum linearifolium var. Werneri (Scribn.) Fernald. 

 Suffolk Co. : edge of sandy field near Patchogue, 1925, M 16042. 

 Ulster Co. : scrub oak thicket among rocks northeast of Ashokan 

 Reservoir, 1925, M 16043. Westchester Co.: in sandy soil of 

 vacant lot, Tuckahoe, 1935, G. Voetsch & C 1753. Designated 

 by Taylor (1915) as rare and local in the New York region. 



Carex castanea Wahlenb. Tioga Co. : edge of thicket along 

 road two miles west of Richford, 1937, C & S 2633. Although 

 reported by House (1934) as locally abundant across the north- 

 ern part of the state and in central New York, it is not recorded 

 by Clute (1898) or by Wiegand and Eames (1926), and the 

 southernmost station listed by House is Peterboro in Madison 

 County. 



This represents the first collection from the southern tier of 

 counties. 

 \/^ Carex complanata ssp. hirsutella (Mackenzie) n. comb. 

 {Carex hirsutella Mackenzie in Bull. Torrey Club 50: 349. 1923) 

 Schuyler Co.: field on east side of Waneta Lake, 1934, C 1339. 

 Tompkins Co.: Bull Hill, Newfield, 1935, C 2184. Reported by 

 Wiegand and Eames (1926) as scarce (7 stations) in the Cayuga 

 Lake Basin and by Clute (1898) as rare at Barton and not fre- 

 quent at Elmira. 



Study of the series of specimens of Carex complanata and of 

 C. hirsutella available in the herbarium at Cornell University 

 indicates that these two populations intergrade in the area 

 where their ranges overlap, particularly in Virginia, and in 

 western North Carolina and Georgia. Since the plant with 

 glabrate leaves with revolute margins is the dominant form on
