July 20, 1900.  2.30 P.M.  An afternoon trip along the south shore
of Spring Gardens from the old 3¢ [column] bridge to the B. & O. R. R. bridge
across the Patapsco.  The tall grass Zizania aquatica is now found
in flower.  It like our corn has its flowers in separate spikes,
but differs from it in having the pistillate flowers uppermost, whereas
in corn the staminate flowers are uppermost.  Mikania scandens
was also found in flower.  Two finds were the result of the
day's outing.  A short distance beyond [illegible] grew Teucrium
Canadense, growing with it was another plant resembling it
very much.  Closer examination showed some marked differences
chief among these was that the plant was somewhat retrorsely
prickly along the angles of its stem as well as along the
midrib of its base.  I determined the plant as Stachys palustris.  
Then near the railroad bridge close to shore and in the
water was found Scirpus lacustris.  Returned home by way
of the railroad.
