Raphidastegium caespitosum. — In the Journal of Botany, March, 1920, Mr,

MISCELLANEOUS NOTES 



Camptothecium nitens var. falcatum (Peck) Burnham. — This combi- 

 nation was made in the July number of The Bryologist 23: 54. July, 1920; 

 but is not the correct name for this var., C. nitens var. falcifalium Ren.e Nichols, 

 in Rhodora, Vol. 15, p. 12?

Camptothecium nitens var. falcifolium Ren. (C. nitens var. falcatum 

 (Peck) Burnham). — In connection with the preceding note Mr. Burnham contri- 

 butes the following: 



Mr. H. N. Dixon of Northampton, England has called my attention to the 

 fact that the combination Camptothecium nitens var. falcatum (Peck) Burnham 

 which was made in The Bryologist 23: 54, July, 1920, is superseded by the name 

 Camptothecium nitens (Schreb.) Schimp., var. falcifolium Ren., published by Dr. 

 Geo. E. Nichols, Notes on Connecticut Mosses, Rhodora 15: 12, Jan., 1913. 

 Mr. Dixon is correct. The variety falcatum, altho described by Dr. Peck in the 

 N. Y. State Cab. Rep. 22: 105, 1869, was never published, altho the herbarium 

 name falcatum is written on the sheet of Dr. E. C. Howe's Fort Edward speci- 

 men in the State herbarium. Number 308 in C. F. Austin's Musci Appalach- 

 iani is Dr. Howe's Moreau plant, the variety falcifolium Renauld.

A Correction. — Mr. Wm. R. Maxon, of the National Museum, has called 

 attention to an error in Mr. Standley's article, "Sphagnum in Glacier National 

 Park, Montana," in the January (1920) number of The Bryologist, p. 5. In 

 the fifth line of the article the words "On the-east slope" should read "On the 

 west slope."
