Var. major, Ehrh. (?) 



L form which is extremely like this has been collected at Yarmouth, 

 ]Sr.S., near the railway station by the writer, and at Metapedia, N.B., 

 by Mr. Fletcher, of the Parliamentary Library. The specimens in ques- 

 tion have large yellow flowers, with yellowish bracts, and long narrow 

 leaves;, they are taller and more branching than the usual form of 

 B. Cristi-galli. This may be the introduced plant found at Halifax. 



457. MELAMPYRUM, Linn. (COW-WHEAT.) 



(1719.) M. Americanum, Michx. 



M. syhaticum, Hook. Fl. II., 106. 



M. pratense, var. Americanum, Benth. in DC. Prodr. X., 584. 



M. lineare, Lam. Pursh, Fl. II., 430. 



Swamps, grassy thickets, and open sandy woods. Anticosti, Nova 

 Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario and westward to the Coast 

 Eange, B.C. The British Columbian specimens have broad nearly 

 hastate leaves, but otherwise the specimens differ vejy little from 

 those of Anticosti. It is probable that the form growing in peat bogs 

 is distinct from that found in sandy woods, but our present specimens 

 are insufficient to determine that question.
