Montezuma and Cayuga region. — The Montezuma and Cayuga region lies directly 

 at the northern end of Cayuga Lake, in rather heavy or sometimes gravelly, 

 generally calcareous, soil. In it" are very extensive cattail and sedge marshes many 

 square miles in area, through which flow the Seneca and Clyde Rivers. In the 

 region also are several salt springs. Where these springs occur outside of the large 

 marshes, they have occasionally produced local swales which are highly brackish and 

 are populated by many characteristic salt-marsh plants. The flora of even the larger 

 marshes, however, seems to indicate at least a trace of salt. The more interesting 

 plants in this region are as follows :

Region from Union Springs to King Ferry. — The eastern side of the lake is more 

 interesting botanically than the western side. At the northern end, below Union 

 Springs the land is rather low and the lake shore frequently marshy. About Union 

 Springs there is a combination of small marshes, calcareous springs, ravines, sandy 

 shores, and rich soils, rendering this one of the most important local collecting
