SISYRINCHIUM, L. Blue-eyed Gkass. 
S. angustifolium, Mill. 8 . Bermudwia, L.* 
Common in grassy places. Whatever may he the fact in re¬ 
gard to the specific rank of 8. anceps and 8 . mucronatum, all the 
Island forms must be referred to 8 . angustifolium. A specimen 
with a single spathe, collected by P. M. Day, • in 1882, probably 
in the vicinity of Bar Harbor, has been somewhat doubtfully 
marked 8 . anceps in the herbarium. A recent and more careful 
examination, however, seems to show that it is nothing more than 
8 . angustifolium with smaller, probably immature seeds. It is 
worthy of remark that not a specimen of the true 8 . anceps form 
has yet been found on the Island, although 8 . angustifolium is 
so very abundant. This fact is evidence that these forms of the 
plant merit at least varietal distinction.
