Muehlenbergia Schreberi Gmel. = M. diffusa Willd. One specimen, on which Kalm 
has written »Agrostis repens fusca. Grows copiously on the plains in New Sweden», and 
Thunb. »M. diffusa». 
Eleocharis ovata (Roth) R. et Sch., probably. One specimen, on which Kalm has 
written »Scirpus culmo tetragono. Grows in wet and muddy places in New Sweden, etc.» 
Tofieldia stenopetala Sm.? There is one specimen, on which there is nothing written 
by Kalm, but Thunb. has written »Kalm» and »Anthericum calyculatum». It resembles the 
figure in Smith’s paper (see above, p. 18), but as the flowers are young, I cannot state if 
the perianth segments have the form which he describes in his species. I should think it 
might be T. glabra Nutt., if this species were not confined to the southern parts of 
N. America. 
Sisyrinchhi'm mucronatum Michx. One specimen; Kalm has identified it with S. 
Bermudiana L., and says that it grows rather frequently in thin woods and groves in New 
Sweden. Thunb.: »S. anceps Willd». 
Cypripedium paiviflorum Salisb. One specimen, which Ivalm has identified \yith C. 
Calceolus L. He also says that it is called Sipacka by the Swedes, and formerly Vätta 
kängä by the Finlanders in New Sweden; grows in somewhat elevated places in morasses 
and is in its best flower in New Sweden at the end of April. This species seems to be C. 
Calceolus [j. of Linn. 
Silene caroliniana Walt. One specimen, on which Kalm has written: »Silene flori- 
bus fasciculatis, calycibus tomentosis. Gron. virg. 50. Grows on dry sandy fields and fir-moors 
in New Sweden. Begins flowering about May 4th n. st.» Thunb. has written »S. antirrhina.» 
Linn, has perhaps confounded S. caroliniana with S. virginica, of which there is a specimen 
in this collection. The synonym from Gron. is nowhere mentioned by Linn. 
Stellcuia longifolia Muhl. One specimen, identified by Kalm with S. graminea L. 
Ranunculus recurvatus Poir. One specimen; Kalm has written: »Ranunculus hirsutus, 
foliis ternatis multifidis, calyce reflexo, fructu oblongo. Flor. Canad. mss. Grows in low places 
in shady forests in N. Amer.; not very frequent. In bloom in May n. st.» Thunb. has 
written »R. lanuginosus.» 
Thalictrum dasycarputn Fisch. et Lall. A male specimen probably belongs to this 
species. Kalm: »Thalictrum amer. foliolis ovatis trilobis, medio latiori. Flor. Canad. mss. 
Grows in the woods in N. Amer.» 
Cardamine btdbosa (Schreb.) B. S. P. One specimen, on which Kalm has written the 
following: »Arabis foliis ovatis denticulatis glabris. Gron. virg. 77. Scurvy-grass by the 
English in N. Amer. Grows in morasses, in wet meadows, by the sides of rivers and 
brooks, and also in other humid places in New .Sweden rather frequently. Begins flowering 
about April 24th. Seeds ripe May 29th. The leaves have quite the taste of those of 
Cochlearia offic. so that it would be difficult to distinguish them by the taste; it is also 
used in the same manner as a remedy for scorbutus». Gron. also says of his species: 
»lota planta Cochlearice sapore prsedita». It is not quoted by Linn. 
Chrysosplenium americanum Schwein. One specimen, identified by Kalm with C. 
oppositifolium L., in which species Linn, also included the closely allied American plant. 
Saxifraga virginiensis Michx. One specimen, which Kalm has identified with S. 
nivalis L., with this information: »Grows in dry plains, and roads and in fissures in rocks 
frequently in New Sweden. Begins flowering on April 3rd n. st. Seeds ripe on May 15th.» 
Linn, included this species in S. nivalis, which he states to grow also in Virginia and 
Canada. 
Rubus frondosus Bigel. See above under R. occidentalis. 
Lespedeza capitata Michx. One specimen, identified by Kalm with Hedysarum viola- 
ceum L., with these remarks: »Grows in dry poor soil in woods. Begins flowering about 
July 27th in New York.»
