54 Twenty-Second Annual Report oe State • Cabinet. 



Pinits INOPS, Ait. 



Barren plains west of Keeseville ; also, near Wadham's Mills, 

 Essex county. G. T. Stevens. New Jersey has been considered 

 the northern limit of this species, and its occurrence two hundred 

 and fifty miles farther north without intervening stations is truly 

 remarkable, and affords another instance of remotely isolated sta- 

 tions. There are about a half dozen trees near Wadham's Mills, 

 from five to eight feet high, some larger ones having been recently 

 cut down. 



POTAMOGETON OAKESIANUS, Bobbins. 



Bowman's pond, Sandlake. The specimens referred to this 

 species do not quite agree with the description. The stems are not 

 much branched, but nearly or quite simple ; yet the leaves and 

 fruit agree so exactly with the characters ascribed to this species 

 that our specimens are referred to it without hesitation. 



POTAMOGETON AMPLIFOLIUS, Tuck. 



North Elba, Essex county. 



Fagopyrum tartaricum, Gcert. {Fagotriticum sibiricum, L.) 



Escaped from cultivation to roadsides and waste places. North 

 Elba. 



Iris ochroleuca. (?) 



The plant here noticed is a large, yellow flowered species ; prob- 

 ably a garden scape. Essex county. Dr. Stevens. Near Pough- 

 keepsie. W. P. Gerard. 



JUNCUS MARITIMUS, Lam. 



Coney Island. The plant under consideration is believed to be 

 the true J. maritimus, now found in this country for the first time, 

 the J. maritimus of American authors having been shown by Dr. G. 

 Engelmann, in Revision N. A. Junci, to be J. Rcemerianus, Scheele. 

 Probably introduced. 



Juncus alpinus var. insignis, Fries. 



Shore of Lake Champlain, near Port Kent. The heads have 

 more flowers than usual, there being 8-12 in each. 



Carex alata, Torr. 



Swamps, Junius, Seneca county. S. IT. Wright. 



Danthonia compressa, sp. nov. 



" Stems compressed-trigonal, the narrowest side concave, the 

 others convex, slender (one foot high), decumbent at the base, 

 weak, smooth or minutely roughened below the joints. Leaves 

 very long, narrow and flat, minutely roughened on the margins
