 July and August. 



Cinna arundinacea Z. 



Wood reed grass 



Cool wet places. Indian pass. August. Less common than the next 

 following species from which it may be distinguished by its longer

Calamagrostis Canadensis (Mx.) Bv. 



Blue joint. Blue joint grass 



Along streams, in low ground or wet places and on mountain tops. 

 Very common. Abundant in some parts of Averyville swamp where it is 

 sometimes cut for hay. It has deep subterranean root stocks by which 

 it spreads. This may explain its habit of growing in patches. 



Pickering's reed grass, C. breviseta Scrib., (C. Picker'uigh Gray) grows 

 abundantly on Beaver meadows in some parts of the Adirondack region, 

 but I have not seen it in North Elba.
