ST. JOHN: SABLE ISLAND. 61 
GRAMINEAE. 
Panicum huachucae Asbe. Occasional in the drier spots. 
J. Macoun (C. no. 22,708), labeled P. implicatum; H. St. John, nos. 
1,129 and 1,130 (H). 
Fr. — July and August. 
[Panicum implicatum Scribn. J. Macoun' s collection was so 
labeled by Hitchcock and Chase, but the size of the spikelets and the 
character of the pubescence indicate that this plant should rather 
be treated as P. huachvcae.] 
EcHiNOCHLOA cRUSGALLi (L.) Beauv. A garden weed at the Main 
Life Saving Station. //. St. John, no. 1,131 (H). 
Fr. — September. 
Anthoxanthum odoratum L. Established on the drier, more 
stable parts of the island. J. Macowi (M. p. 218A) comments on 
the abundance of this species on the old land and argues that it 
appears native there, or at least is " a resident of such long standing 
that it has made itself at home in all suitable places." H. St. John, 
no. 1,132 (H). 
Fr. — August. 
Phleum pratense L. Planted and well established near the 
Life Saving Stations. Observed by ,/. Dwight, Jr. (D. p. 12); 
collected by J. Macoun; II. St. John, no. 1,133 (H). 
FL, Fr. — August. 
Agrostis alba L., var. vulgaris (With.) Thurb. Cultivated 
near the stations, according to J. Dwight, Jr. (D. p. 12). 
A. alba L., var. maritima (Lam.) G. F. W. Mey. Abundant in 
the dune hollows and at the margins of the fresh-water ponds. Col- 
lected by J. Macoun; II. T. Gussoic (E); II. St. John, nos. 1,134 and 
1,135 (H). 
Fr. — August. 
A. — [A collection by J. Macoun (C. no. 73,000) obviously belongs 
to the alba series, but I have been unable to place it to my 
satisfaction. 
[A. HIEMALIS (Walt.) B. S. P. Both Macoun and Gihssow list 
this species, but the i)lants arc probably to be interpreted as of the 
var. gc))iinata.]
