52 June 24 (Thursday). Carex collected at Patterson's Bridge, Tenn. turns out to be C. anceps. This seems scarcely distinct from C. losyfera, but differs chiefly in shortened axis of pistillate spike and shorter staminate spikes, also heavily veined perigynia with short lateral beak. The lower sheaths tend to have prominent green cross- veins. June 25 (Friday). Continued with Salix bristies collected at Manchester, Tenn. This is the small-leaved glossy tree identical with much material from the perjuntine barriers of Pennsylvania. Paniculatus : C. stantinus was micranthus from Vesta, Tenn. R. septentrionalis on Long Island appears to be R. reflexa or all specimens examined. R. Reflex has a recurved whitened stigmas in half ripe fruit, and more lower calot leaf segments than in R. septentrionalis. A single specimen of R. foeremulensis from Long Island, distinguishable from R. hispida by the three divided leaf, and by the narrow and more shiny petals as well as by the root. July 13 (Monday). I fail to see any clear difference between Carex at- cantriae and C. incompta, the latter species be- ing represented by plants of finer texture, but the definite distinction wanting, at least in Long Island material.
