Send east I McKinville Utricularia gibba, apparently not pre-
viously known from Tennessee. The Potomacum from Stone River
is G. foliosa, common in Calaveras area, especially in the middle
States. Also Glyceia corylaria from McKinville. Pinus schiatae
from near Wrigley, Hickman Co.
Feb. 12 (Wednesday) Holiday; worked on Geum.
Feb. 13 (Thursday).
The commonest species of this area is G. canadense Jacq.
The typified form is then leaved with fest reflected carpels in
a head. The peduncle with short irregularly spaced
hairs, and often with longer hairs intermixed. This
runs in var. comporum (Ryd.) Fernald's
Weathery, chiefly of the southwest, but common on Long
Island, with thick leaves and more hairy stem.
G. virginianum L. (G. album (Poter) Bicknell) differs in
having shorter petals, and larger leaves, but I do not
see sharp distinction between it and G. canadense var.
comporem. It is abundant in n.e. N. Jersey and not
uncommon on Long Island.
G. laciniatum Murr. var. trichocarpum Ferrell, sp.
previously locally abundant in n.e. N. Jersey, rare on
L.I., has large knocker heads with compact carpels,
and strigose-bristly stems. A northern species extending
north to Pennsylvania.
G. allepicum Jacq. var. strictum (Ait.) Fernald; a
northern species with soft many flowered heads.
The carpels directed downward. Northern N.J.; one
specimen from Long Island.
