BOTANY.

cylindricum, Michx. 1. c., is a Rottbollia, (R. cylindrica,) and seems to be tbe same as R. cam- 
pestris, Nutt. 1. c. p. 151. 
Andropogon nutans, Linn. A. avenaceus, Michx. FI. 1, p. 60. Sorghum nutans, Gray, 
Man. ed. 2, p. 584. With the last. 
Andropogon scoparius, Michx. 1. c. ; Torn. FI. Neiv York, 2, p. 478. With the preceding, 
and on the Llano Estacado ; August—September. 
Andropogon furcatus, Linn. Pecan creek and Llano Estacado ; August—September. Ped¬ 
icels of the sterile spikelets clothed with longer and whiter hairs than in the eastern plant. 
Andropogon Jamesii, Torn, in Marcy’s Rep. p. 302. A. glaucus, Torr. in Ann. Lyc. Nero 
York, 1, p. 152. A. Torreyanus, Steud. Syn. PI. Glum. p. 392. Comanche Plains, Indian 
Territory; August. 
LYCOPODIACEfE. 
Selaginella struthioloides. Lycopodium struthioloides, Presl, Bel. LLaenk. 1, p. 82, (ex. 
Hook. & Arn.) L. rupestre, /9. Hook. & Am. Rot. Beech., p. 267. Wet rocks, mountains of 
California and New Mexico ; March. 
Selaginella rupestris. Spring; Brackenridge, Fil. U. S. Expl. Exped. p. 331. Mountains of 
New Mexico. 
EQUISETACEfE. 
Equisetum eburneum, Schreh.; Braun & Engelm. in Sill. Jour. 46, p. 84. E. fluviatile, J. E. 
Smith , Eng. Bot. t. 2022 ; Hook. FI. Bor.—Amer. 2, p. 269. E. Telmateia, Ehrh. Redwoods 
and mountains near Oakland, California ; April. Plant sometimes 3-4 feet high. It is very 
doubtful whether this species grows on the borders of Lakes Erie and Superior. Tbe station 
given for it long ago by Dr. Beck, in his Botany of the Northern States, was on my authority, 
and I was led into the error by the incorrect label attached to a specimen which I received from 
a correspondent. 
Equisetum arvense, Linn.; Pursh, FI. 2 ,p. 651 ; Eng. Bot. t. 2020 ; Braun & Engelm. 1. c. 
Torr. FI. N. York, 2, p. 480. In overflowed places, Duffield’s Ranch, Sierra Nevada ; May 11. 
Equisetum iiyemale, Linn.; Pursh, l. c. Eng. Bot. t. 914; Braun & Engelm. 1. c.; Torr. FI. 
N. York, l. c. Santa Rosa Creek, California; May 1. We can hardly distinguish several of 
species allied to E. hyemale, described by Braun & Engelmann, 1. c., for they seem to pass into 
each other by imperceptible gradations. 
FILICES. 
P olypodium vulgare /9. occidentall, Hook. FI. Bor.-Am. 2, p. 258. P. vulgare, Virginianum, 
Bong. Veg. Sitclia, p. 57. Redwoods, California ; April 12. This is nearer P. vulgare of 
Europe than is the plant of the Atlantic States, which we are now inclined to regard as a 
distinct species. 
P olypodium Californicum, Kaulf. Enum. Fil. p. 102 ; Hook. & Arn. Bot. Beech, p. 161 & 405 ; 
Hook. FI. Bor.-Amer. 2 ,p. 258. Mountains near San Gabriel; April 5. Differs from the 
preceding in the membranaceous fronds, shorter and rather obtuse pinnae. The figure in the 
leones Filicum of Hooker and Greville (t. 56, P. Scouleri of that work) represents a dwarf state 
of this species. 
Polypodium intermedium, Hook. & Arn. 1. c. p. 405; Hook. 1. c. Rocky ravines, Cajon Pass ; 
March. This plant greatly resembles P. Californicum, and is chiefly distinguished from it by 
the oval sori. 
Allosorus andromed^folius, Kaulf. Enum. Fil. p. 188. Pteris andromedaefolia, Hook. & Arn. 
Bot. Beech., p. 406. Hill-sides, Cajon Pass, California. This seems to be tbe plant described
