The Flora of the Cayuga Lake Basin 123 



47a. C. crinita Lam., var. minor Boott. 



In situations similar to the preceding or somewhat .drier ; rare. 



W. shore of pond at Mecklenburg, 1918 (A. Gershoy) ; specimen in C. U. Herb., 

 doubtfully from Ithaca (ex herb. T. J. Moon). [This variety occurs near by in 

 Cortland Co.] 



Me. to N. Y., and perhaps elsewhere. 



48. C. gynandra Schwein. (C. crinita, var. gynandra, of Gray's Man., ed. 7.) 

 Wet places, more commonly around bogs ; infrequent. June 20-July 10. 



S. e. corner of Newfield; between Slaterville and Dryden; Freeville Bog and 

 Fir Tree Swamp, Freeville (D. !). 



Newf. to Wis., southw. to Va., including the Coastal Plain, and in the mts. to Ga. 



In central New York, C. gynandra appears to be distinct from C. crinita. If so con- 

 sidered, then C. crinita, var. Porteri, should probably be treated as a variety of C. 

 gynandra. Weatherby (Rhodora 25:19. 1923) retains C. gynandra as a variety of 

 C. crinita. 



49. C. polygama Schk. (C. Buxbanmii of Cayuga Fl.) 



Boggy meadows and springy places, in calcareous, often marly, soils ; rare. June. 

 Junius (Sartwell) ; Junius marl bogs (D.\). 



Greenland (?) and Newf. to Alaska, southw. to Pa., the Great Lakes, Mo., Utah, 

 and Calif., and in the mts. to N. C. ; rare on the Atlantic Coastal Plain. 



50. C. paupercula Michx. (C. magellanica of Cayuga Fl.) 

 Bogs, with some lime; rare. June 10-July 15. 



Freeville Bog (D.\) ; Lowery Ponds; bog n. e. of Duck Lake; Westbury Bog. 

 Newf. to Lab. and B. C, southw. to Conn., Pa., and Utah; apparently absent in 

 granitic N. E. and on the Atlantic Coastal Plain. Found also in Eurasia. 

 The var. irrigaa (Wahl.) Fernald is scarcely worthy of recognition. 



51. C. limosa L. 



Peat bogs, in acid soil ; scarce. June-July 10. 



Freeville Bog (D. !) ; Malloryville Bog (D. !) ; Junius peat bogs (£>.!) ; near Mud 

 Pond, Conquest; Featherbed Bog. 



Lab. and Newf. to Sask. and B. C, southw. to Pa., the Great Lakes, Colo., and 

 Calif.; infrequent on the Atlantic Coastal Plain. Found also in Eu. 



52. C. prasina Wahl. (C. miliacea of Cayuga Fl.) 



Damp woods and glades, in alluvial or mucky, neutral or slightly calcareous, soils ; 

 frequent. May 20-June 20. 



Common in Michigan Hollow Swamp; Larch Meadow; Slaterville Swamp; Ellis 

 Hollow ; Ringwood ; and elsewhere. 



W. Me. to Mich., southw. to Del., D. C, and Ohio, and along the mts. to Ga. ; 

 rare on the Coastal Plain. 



53. C. pallescens L. 



Damp fields and grassy banks, in sandy, gravelly, or loamy, mostly neutral, soils ; 

 locally common. June. 



Widely distributed except on the more acid soils and the richer soils back from the 

 shore of Cayuga Lake; rarely in "clay" as stated by Dudley. 



Newf. to Wis., southw. to N. J., Pa., and 111.; infrequent on the Coastal Plain. 

 Found also in Eurasia. 



The form with undulate sheaths (var. luidulata Carey) occurs near Malloryville 

 and Turkey Hill, according to Dudley.
