Brachyelytrum erectum (Schreb.) Beau v. Occasional in rich hilly woods 

 in and north of the morains, locally abundant. Queens, Port Washington, 

 Smithtown, Millneck, Glen Cove, Plattsdale. Very rare south of the 

 morain at Oakdale. 



Trisetum pennsylvanicum (L.) Beauv. Rare in swamps and wet thickets. 

 Yaphank, Cold Spring Harbor, Oakdale, Sag\-ille. 



Uniola laxa (L.) B.S.P. Rare in moist, rich woods. Merrick. 



Panicularia grandis (S. Wats.) Nash. Rare in swamps. Newtown. 



Panicularia nervata (Willd.) Kuntze. var. stricta Scribn. Rare in rich soil 

 and drier parts of swamps in North western Long Island. Win field, 

 Newtown, Woodside. Grows in drier situations, culms more scattered, 

 not densely tufted like the species. Is much lower and slenderer, with 

 narrower leaves, the dark brown spikelets having longer scales and 

 maturing two or three weeks earlier. The writer believes this plant will 

 eventually be given specific rank. 



CYPERACEAE 



Cyperus flavescens L. Rare, wet sandy shores and swamps. Sayville, 

 Oakdale, Wantagh, Valley Stream, Cold Spring Harbor. 



Cyperus Engelmanni Steud. Rare on wet shores. Paisley Pond, Jamaica. 



Cyperus speciosus Vahl. Frequent throughout in wet fresh, brackish and 

 salt shores and swamps. Reported in my former papers as Cyperus fer ax 

 Richard. Dr. N. C. Britton now names our common Long Island plant 

 — speciosus — and states that ferax is southern, reported as far north as 

 New Jersey and possible on Long Island. 



Eleocharis palustris' (L.) R. & S. var. major Sonder. Rare. Often in water. 

 Wading River. Seaford. 



Eleocharis Smallii' Britton. Frequent in swamps and wet shores. Winfield, 

 Cold Spring Harbor, Massapequa, Millneck, Ronkonkoma, Sag Harbor, 

 Meadowbrook, Bridgehampton, Flushing, Amityville. 



Eleocharis calva^ Torr. Rare in swamps. Cutchogue, Woodside, Massa- 

 pequa. 



Eleocharis uxiglumisi (Link). Schultes var. halophila Fernald & Bracket, 

 Rare, salt and brackish shores and marshes. Easthampton. Montauk. 



SciRPUS microcarpus Presl. Rare in swamps. Flushing, Woodside. 



Scirpus paludosus Nelson. Frequent throughout in salt marshes. The 

 validity of this species as distinct from Scirpus robustus Pursh is established 

 beyond doubt. The writer's suggestion that it might prove to be a seedling 

 of robustus is not worth consideration. (Bull. Torrey Club 1925.) 



Rynchospora Torreyana A. Gray. Very rare in damp soil. Amityville. 



ScLERiA triglomerata Michx. Rare in moist soil. Oakdale, Amityville, 

 Seaford. 



Scleria minor (Britton) Stone. \'ery rare in most meadows. Oakdale, 

 Babj'lon.
