Sieglingia seslerioides (M'x.) Scribn. 

 Plentiful in sandy soil east of Rosendale. September. 



Panicum capillare soboliferum Tuckm. in ed. 



A dwarf variety with culms i to 4 inches long, having numerous 

 basal spreading or prostrate branches and spikelets less than 1 line 

 long. This variety indicates a very great degree of variation in this 

 exceedingly variable species. Abundant on the muddy shore of 

 Kinderhook lake. September. The station is exposed only when 

 the water in the lake is low. I am indebted to Prof. F. L. Scribner 

 for the identification of this grass. 



Woodwardia virginica Sm. 



A singular form occurs on Kasoag marsh, in which the pinnae are 

 short and their lobes are much curled and crisped. It has a singu- 

 larly poor, starved or unthrifty appearance, yet it sometimes grows 

 from the same rootstock which supports fronds of ordinary size and 

 vigor. 



Onoclea sensibilis L. 



A form was collected near Kasoag in which the pinnae on one side 

 of the frond are fertile, on the other, sterile. 



Dicranella subulata Schimp. 



Damp, shaded banks by roadside. Denning. August. Not 

 before found by me in the state, but reported by the late Prof. Les- 

 quereux to occur in the Adirondacks. 



Hypnum blandovii W. & M. 



Davis .swamp near Warrensburg. This is a new station for this 

 rare moss. 



Jungermannia inflata Huds. 



Minnewaska. September. In this locality it forms dense cushions 

 on the wet surface of rocks and fruits abundantly. 



Peltigera canina spongiosa Tuckm. 

 This variety occurs on Mt Marcy and near Warrensburg.
