Feb. 14 (Friday). Continued identification of Tennessee plants, Carex cherokeeensis at Elkton extends the range of the species much to the north and east. Speculins from from Cyperus sepaetus Selinum stritium, from the field at Elkton with, Lactuca canadensis, Heracium Gronovii with var. foliosum, Linnum striatum, and Rudivigla alternifolia, much the set-up to be found in similar places in the North. Smilox glaucus ranjferensia Blake, with pubes- cent leaf surfaces below, seems to be the common rep- resentative in this region. It extends southwards along the coast from Florida to N.C. and there is a single specimen in Brooklyn from Long Island. Feb. 15 (Saturday). Plants from Spence Field, alt. 5000 ft., Tenn. Viola blanda, a practically dwarf form, seeds small frm. x 0.8 mm.; Amelanchier sp. identified with the tree growing in the Catskills, which I call A. laevis. The Simpson type is perhaps not exactly interprets by Wegrand and judging by the Simpson description is basic like the Catskill tree, which Wegand (and Wegrand calls A. laevis. Linnaeus probably based his description on a Kolm species (i.e. from "Canada". Feb. 17 (Monday) Amelanchier on L.I. appears to be chiefly A. oblongifolia with A. canadensis (A. laevis Wiegand?). occasional in the northern part. These two species differ in the fruit and especially in the seeds, as well as in the shape of leaves. Received specimen of "Cyperus rivularis" from Hermann, labeled at G.H. as "C. melanostachys".
