Scirpus atrocinctus brachypodus Fern. 



Swampy or wet places. North Elba and near Loon lake. 

 This bulrush also grows in company with the typical form and 

 clearly passes into it by intergrading forms. July. 



Homalocenchrus oryzoides (L.) Poll. 



Low ground on the shore of Lake George at Hague. A form 



in which all the panicles are included in the leaf sheaths, except 



in occasional specimens in which the terminal panicle is ex- 



serted. September. 



Agrostis alba L. 



Specimens of this common and useful grass were collected 

 near Loon lake. In them the glumes of nearly all the flowers of 

 the panicle are elongated to three or four times their usual size. 

 This gives the grass a singular appearance. These flowers are 

 sterile. A similar form of A. alba vulgaris is already 

 represented in the herbarium. 



Poa flava L. 



This grass usually grows in low Wet ground or in marshy 

 places, but a slender form with small two or three flowered 

 spikelets scarcely more than 1 line long occurs in the Adiron- 

 dack region growing on rocky ledges. Specimens were collected 

 on the cliffs of Mt Wallface in July. 



Equisetum littorale gracile Milde 

 Gravelly inundated shore of Oneida lake. June. J. V. Haberer. 



Lycopodium annotinum L. 



A slender form of this species is found in Indian pass, 

 approaching variety pungens in character but having the 

 leaves more distant and spreading. It is intermediate between 

 the variety and the common form. 



Lycopodium clavatum monostachyon Hook. 



Rocky places. North Elba. July. Growing with the com- 

 mon form. 



Woodsia obtusa angusta Pk. 



Rocky places in the Highlands. Specimens of this variety 

 were collected many years ago on Crow's Nest mountain between
