6-9-38 Plantago lanceolata L. G 745; BVB III 246
Fl. Drive.
6-9-38 Chrysanthemum leucanthemum L.
G847; BVB III 518 Fl. Roadside
6-9-38 Sanicula marilandica L. G610: S. maryland.
eal. BVB II 623. Early fl. length & curving styles and
shape of calyx lobes leave no question as to ident.
6-9-38 Poa
Adv.fs. In woods frequent (studied w/ specimen
of 6-13-38 in woods along north side of drive)
As observed previously this had been thought to
resemble Glyceria nervata in general look.
Seems surely a Poa because fiddle leafs at base & lemma & cuneulate tip of lf. Lemma
glabrous, obtuse 2[illegible]5-3mm long (or slightly less)
This seems to point directly to P. debilis Torr. G 157;
BVB I 275. But loss on lower part of culm 5-6mm wide,
uppermost 3mm wide. (G for Pd- says "2mm
wide, rarely wider"), Liguile 3mm or more, is-
regularly toothed at top (G for Pd- says "1-2mm")
Culms tufted (no signs creeping rootstock), 24-30 in
high, smoothly somewhat flattened. Sheaths
smooth & small somewhat flattened, all shorter
