Sea beaches. Somesville; Ovens; Thomas Bay; Southwest
Harbor; Mt. Desert Narrows, and elsewhere. “This form is
distinguished from P. maritima by its smaller and weaker habit,
and by having the keels of the palea smooth below and only very
minutely scabrous above. In P. maritima the keels of the palea
are strongly fringed nearly or quite to the base.” F. Lamson-
Scribner. More recent examination shows this form to be spe-
cifically distinct, and should bear the name in the Manual of
P. angustata (R. Br.).
