REPORT OF THE STATE BOTANIST 1901 959 



Euphorbia platyphylla L. 

 Rare. On the east shore of Bulwagga bay southeast of Port 

 Henry. September. 



Betula papyracea minor Tuckm. 

 Plentiful and fertile on the open summit of Mt Clinton. 



Juniperus communis alpina Gaud. 

 The alpine juniper is more abundant on Mt Clinton than on 

 the higher summit of its near neighbor, Mt Mclntyre. It bears 

 fruit sparingly here. The arbor vitae, Thuja occident- 

 al i s , ascends to the open summit of this mountain, but the 

 trees are small and unthrifty. 



Potamogeton lonchites Tuckm. 



Small but fertile plants of this pond weed and of P. obtusi- 



f o 1 i u s , occur in shallow water in a small pond near Loon 



lake station. 



Juncoides spicatum (L.) Kuntze 



The spiked wood rush was found growing on the top of Mt 



Wallface in 1898. This remained the only known station for it 



in our state till this year. In July fine fruiting specimens of 



it were found growing near the base of the cliffs on the western 



side of Indian pass near its southern end. In these specimens 



the lowest fruit cluster is 1 or 2 lines distant from the rest. 



Eleocharis diandra Wright 



This beautiful spike rush has generally been treated as a mere 



form of the ovoid spike rush, E. o v a t a , but a fine series of 



specimens collected on the shore of Oneida lake by Dr Haberer 



and contributed by him to the herbarium leads me to keep it 



distinct. 



Scirpus peckii Britton 



A station for this rare bulrush was discovered in July near 



Loon lake in Franklin co. 



Scirpus rubrotinctus confertus Fern. 

 Swampy places near Loon lake. July. This variety was 

 found growing with the typical form, which is not rare in the 

 Adirondack region.
