12 Nov. 18 (Monday) Continued Umbelliferae. Oelpleurum lucidum found in L. J. collection from Orient. Angelica villosa collected at Bull Run, Tenn has narrow leaves pubescent below and a peduncle striose but not villous. This seed seen quite different from Walter's original plants -orate leaves villous peduncle. However, the narrow-leaved, not-villosa peduncles are found in plants as far north as Long Island, but I have seen few specimens with pubescent leaves. The fruits in the Bull Run material are not villous, but smooth with a clear surface except for that comparatively few, strigose hairs. Nov. 19 (Tuesday) Well finished in Local Flora Section. Construction work proceeding as follows: 1) Construction of a mound between north pathway and Rhododendron avenue, a lightening of the present knoll and its extension westward. 2) Construction of a swamp i.e. a deep feet area on the site of the large willow tree to west of Delphes tree and continuation of this swamp area to the west- ward. 3) Cut-up-down of north pathway; the excavated material to go on mound (1). 4. Construction of north pathway to west gate, and excavation of soil to west of this new pathway for an Osmoda Swamp. The distinction between 2+3 stemens for Cyperus diandrus and C. simulans respectively, apparently has subsis, Kunth described C. similans as having 3 stemens.
