June 7 (Sunday). Worked on Juneau material, and
species of Poa. The species collected at Owl Hollow and
below Kerby-Smith junction is P. cuspidata (P. brachyphylla)
with culms more sparse than in other material examined.
Poa sylvaris (especially well represented in
Washington region) has several branches in a head in
the penicill and they are usually reflexed. P. ant-
unnalis is much similar but usually with 2 branches
in a whorl, and these not reflexed; the spikelets a
little larger. P. debilis & erect, collected by me at
Naples Crest, the lemmas are smooth. P. saltunensis
is the commoner species in woods (collected at
Joffe in 1934) and has rather stiff branches and much
in narrower former leaves than P. alaska. P. palestris
(P. triflora) appears to be much less common in
meadows and has very small flowers. Arthroca
tus (Bacmutens) except for the absence of basal
hair tufts so much like Poa.
Southern form of Claytonia virginica has several
leaves and seed averaging 1.6 mm., just as in northern.
June 8 (Monday). Went to Mrs. Nat. History to find out
about Stephen Calverley. He came from Brooklyn; had
a melanic Papilio (P. Calverleyi) named for him, and
identified with H.W. Edwards and Wiedemeyer.
June 9 (Tuesday). To Jossy Pond, Monerville, with Miss
Rusk, Mr. Durkin, and Mrs. Putz. The season early for
most plants, but found two specimens of Arthusa. Other
things of interest: Nymphaea odorata var. minor, Vac-
Cicium Oxyceros, Nymphaeathus advena, Eriophorum,
Ceres atlantica, C. Howei, C. Walteri, Rynchospora fusca.
