2. Sphagnum papillosum Lindb. The var. intermedium (Russ.) Warnst. Bog 



north of Clarks Pond, west of Shushan. Determined by Dr. Andrews. 



3. Sphagnum palustre L. Apparently not an uncommon species about mountain 



ponds and small bogs. Determined by Dr. Andrews, who says "the 

 most practical means of distinction between S. palustre and S. magellani- 

 cum lies in the tendency of the latter to a really red pigmentation, while 

 the other is brown." Many specimens determined by Dr. Warnstorf 

 as S. cymhifolium Ehrh. 



Sphagnum cymhifolium, var. suhcarneum Warnst. Three 

 Ponds; Sly Pond; New Michigan Pond, "Talman marsh." Deter- 

 mined by Dr. Warnstorf. 



Sphagnum cymhifolium, var. virescens Warnst. Rosecrans 

 swamp, north of Glens Falls. Determined by Dr. Warnstorf. 



4. Sphagnum imhricatum Hornsch. Shushan (F. Dobbin) Determined by 



Dr. Andrews. 



Sphagnum imhricatum, var. affine (R. & C.) Warnst. Fort 

 Ann mountains and southern W. Fort Ann. Determined by Dr. Warn- 

 storf. Marsh west of stone schoolhouse, north of Tripoli; low woods 

 north of Cambridge. Determined by Dr. Andrews. 



5. Sphagnum compactum DC. Wet places on rocks, Curtis hill, east of Fort Ann, 



August 29, 1896. Dr. Warnstorf called the specimens at first 5. com- 

 pactum: but in April, 1903, he renamed the specimens Sphagnum Gar- 

 heri L. & J., which is a synonym of Sphagnum strictum Sull. 



Sphagnum compactum, var. squarrosum Russ. Wet place, 

 summit of Sugar Loaf Mt., Dec. 3, 1900. Determined by Dr. Warn- 

 storf. Plants from the same station, Nov. 13, 1915, were determined 

 by Dr. Andrews as 5. compactum. 



6. Sphagnum Wulfianum Girg. "Knolls and slight elevations in sphagnous 



swamps. Moreau. " (E. C. Howe). "A species easily recognized 

 by its rigid red stems and numerous short branches, those of the sum- 

 mit of the stem being crowded into a dense subglobose head. " N. Y. 

 State Cab. Rep. 22: 56. 1869. In (CH), Dr. Howe's specimens are 

 . labelled Fort Edward. Marsh west of stone schoolhouse. Determined 

 by Dr. Andrews. Rich's swamp southwest of Shushan. 



Sphagnum Wulfianum, var. viride Warnst. Swamp woods 

 south of Mud Pond, Pattens Mills. Determined by Dr. Warnstorf. 

 This station is probably destroyed. 



7. Sphagnum squarrosum Crome. This beautiful easily recognizable species is 



frequently met with in bogs and old swampy woods. Dr. Warnstorf 

 determined several collections as Sphagnum squarrosum, var. spectahile 

 Russ. to which variety probably most of our plants are referable. 



Sphagnum squarrosum, var. semisquarrosum Russ. North- 

 east of Fort Ann; east of Thompsons gravel-bed, southern W. Fort 

 Ann. Determined by Dr. Warnstorf.
