  Bromus 
  purgans 
  L. 
  

  

  This 
  was 
  considered 
  a 
  distinct 
  species 
  by 
  Linnasus 
  and 
  stands 
  

   as 
  such 
  in 
  the 
  ~N. 
  Y. 
  Flora. 
  But 
  modern 
  botanists 
  have 
  gener- 
  

   ally 
  connected 
  it 
  with 
  B. 
  ciliatus 
  as 
  a 
  variety. 
  I 
  could 
  wish 
  it 
  

   might 
  be 
  restored 
  to 
  its 
  original 
  position, 
  for 
  as 
  far 
  as 
  my 
  obser- 
  

   vation 
  goes 
  it 
  is 
  easily 
  distinguished 
  from 
  B. 
  ciliatus 
  by 
  its 
  

   smaller, 
  differently 
  colored, 
  le-s 
  drooping 
  panicle, 
  its 
  fewer 
  spike- 
  

   lets, 
  its 
  more 
  hairy 
  flowers 
  and 
  its 
  different 
  habitat. 
  It 
  likes 
  

   shade 
  and 
  most 
  often 
  grows 
  in 
  rocky 
  woods. 
  I 
  have 
  not 
  

   observed 
  it 
  in 
  the 
  Adirondack 
  region 
  where 
  B. 
  ciliatus 
  is 
  quite 
  

   common. 
  

  

  Danthonia 
  spicata 
  Bv. 
  

  

  The 
  panicle 
  in 
  this 
  grass 
  is 
  contracted 
  after 
  flowering. 
  It 
  

   varies 
  in 
  length 
  from 
  less 
  than 
  a 
  a 
  inch 
  to 
  two 
  and 
  a 
  half 
  inches, 
  

   Two 
  forms 
  occur. 
  In 
  one 
  the 
  leaves 
  and 
  sheaths 
  are 
  glabrous 
  

   except 
  a 
  tuft 
  of 
  hairs 
  at 
  the 
  throat 
  of 
  the 
  sheaths. 
  In 
  the 
  other 
  

   the 
  leaves 
  and 
  lower 
  sheaths 
  are 
  clothed 
  with 
  long 
  soft 
  hairs. 
  

   To 
  distinguish 
  this 
  form 
  I 
  designate. 
  it 
  Yar. 
  villosa. 
  Specimens 
  -of 
  

   it 
  were 
  collected 
  at 
  Brownville 
  and 
  Taberg.
