I056 APPENDIX, 



axis in 6-8 rows, from ovate through lanceolate-acute to acuminate, those 

 of the subterminal and terminal branchlcts in four rows, glaucous, bluish 

 green, acuminate, appressed, those of the under row differing scarcely at 

 all from those of the other three rows, the leaves of the lateral rows some- 

 what incurved underneath; peduncles terete, glaucous, 50-60 mm. long to 

 the first forking, usually twice forked, the second 8-18 mm. distant from 

 the first, spreading and curving upward; strobiles two, three or usually 

 four, 20-28 mm. long, the sporophylls broadly depressed-ovate, truncate 

 at the base, the lateral margins variously toothed, suddenly contracted 

 into a subulate scarious tip; sporangium reniform, opening by a transverse 

 slit along the top; spores ripening early in August. (L. Chamaecyparissus 

 A. Br.) Differs from L. complanatum, with which it has been confused, 

 in its subterranean habit, its uniform leaves, its method of branching, and 

 in its distant clusters of strobiles. Me. to Ga. and Minn.

 cm., very stout and fleshy, strongly recurved, with an abrupt sharp 

 point, purple-bronze or reddish in drying; sporange small, unspotted, 

 covered one- fourth to one- third with the velum; macrospores 526-648 fi 

 in diameter or rarely larger, with irregular parallel thickish crests above, 

 and reticulate-honeycombed below; microspores 35-40 /* long by 22-30 [i 

 broad, rough. Pushaw Pond, Oldtown, and Long Pond, Mt. Desert, Me. 



P. 29, after Isoetes Canadensis, insert:

 sporange oval, cinnamon-colored from the abundant vermiform cells, 

 with only the margins covered by the velum; macrospores small, 351- 

 405 ft in diameter, the upper faces flat, covered with short truncate 

 mostly single columns; microspores rare. Mud flats near outlet of 

 Tyler Pond, Goshen, and gravelly tidal shore, Selden's Cove, Lyme, Conn. 



P. 33, after Pinus rigida, add: 



11. Pinus ser6tina Michx. Black Pine. Pond Pine. A tree,
