REPORT OP THE STATE BOTANIST 1902 35 



Scirpus sylvaticus bissellii Fern. 

 Low ground. West Albany. Several years ago a single speci- 

 men of this variety, v^as collected by the late Rev. J. H. Wibbee 

 and presented to the herbarium. The station has since been de- 

 stroyed, and I know of no other in the State where this variety 

 has been found. 



Sporobolus longifolius (Torr.) Wood 



Rocky sides of Skenes mountain, Whitehall. September. It 

 was associated with Sporobolus neglectus and Aster 

 concinnus. Quercus acuminata (Mx.), the eastern 

 form of which isQ. alexanderi Britton, was growing near 

 it. This mountain is an interesting botanical station. 



Buxbaumia indusiata Brid. 



Near Rochester. October. M. S. Baxter. This is the fourth 

 and most western station for this rare moss in our State. It has 

 been found in the Catskill mountains and in two places. Horse- 

 shoe pond and Lake Placid, in the Adirondack mountains. 



Amanitopsis volvata (Pk.) Sacc. 

 An unusual form of this species was found in the wooded 

 grounds of the New York botanical garden. A part of the volva 

 was closely adherent to the center of the pileus, as in Amanita 

 calyptrata, and the base of the stem was more closely 

 sheathed than usual by the remains of the volva. 



Amanitopsis strangulata Fr. 



Piseco and North Elba. August and September. This north- 

 ern form differs from the more southern one in having the pileus 

 adorned with unequal fragments of the ruptured volva instead 

 of nearly equal, wartlike remnants. 



Clitocybe dealbata deformata n. var. 

 Pileus thin, very irregular, convex or centrally depressed, 

 wavy or lobed on the margin, the upper surface sometimes partly 

 transformed into a hymenium consisting of daedaloid pores in 

 the center and branching and anastomosing lamellae toward thf^ 

 margin, snowy white where free from hy menial development,
