Puccinellia distans (L.) Pari. 

 Low shores of Onondaga lake, Salina. Dr J. V. Haberer, July 

 5, 1884. No. 3301. The range of this species in America is usually 

 given as salt marshes and on ballast along the coast from Nova 

 Scotia to Delaware. The Salina locality seems to be the only report 

 of its occurrence inland. The species is not regarded as native 

 to America, but there is apparently some doubt upon this point. 

 Mrs L. L. Goodrich (Plants of Onondaga county, page 42, 1912) 

 records Puccinellia maritima from the Salt marshes at 

 Solvay in 1887. 



6 SCHENECTADY COUNTY 



The northwest side of Featherstone lake in the town of Duanes- 

 burg exhibits a wonderfully fine gradation from lake to bog and 

 bog to woodland. The shallow water of the lake on the side 

 toward the bog contains the following water-loving plants : 



Castalia odorata (Ait.) Woodville & Wood 



Nymphaea variegata (Engelm.) G. S. Miller 



Brasenia schreberi Gmel. 



Scirpus americanus Pers. 



Pontederia cordata L. 



Eriocaulon articulatum (Huds.) Morong 



Potamogeton natans L. 



Between the water and the woodland is a strip of sphagnum 

 from 15 to 30 feet broad, which is the home of many characteristic 

 bog plants, such as : 



Drosera rotundifolia L. 

 Andromeda glaucophylla Link. 

 Menyanthes trifoliata L. 

 Oxycoccus macrocarpus (Ait.) Pers. 

 Eriophorum virginicum L. 

 Sarracenia purpurea L.
