Hordeum trifurcatum Jacq. 



Cultivated specimens from Medina were contributed by F. C. 

 Stewart. It is cultivated under the name of beardless barley and is 

 said to be very productive. It sometimes springs up spontaneously. 

 Such specimens were erroneously reported under the name 

 Hordeum hexastichon L. 



Hydrastis canadensis L. 



This valuable medicinal plant has become exceedingly rare in 

 our State. It is therefore very gratifying to know that it still 

 exists in Cayuga co., whence fruiting specimens were sent by E. L. 

 Bradley.

Mycogone cervina subincarnata Pk. 



In State Museum Report 32, page 44 this fungus was reported as 

 a Sepedonium. It should be referred tO' the genus Mycogone and is a 

 mere variety of Mycogone cervina Ditm. differing only in 

 its smaller spores and more pinkish color. Its habitat is the same as 

 that of the typical form. The spores are 20-28 i-i- long, 12-20 fj- 

 broad in the widest part. The upper cell is globose, verrucose, and 

 much larger than the smooth lower cell.
