July 15 (Wednesday).
Continued with Catskill plants. Poa altissima is the abundant species on pathways at lower level (2500-3000 ft.),
while P. alba, occurs very sparingly at the summit of Loowithen High Peak. Mackenzie has substituted
for Carex varia, the name C. aristecta, because
of priority; C. Emmonsii becomes C. albicans
Willd., a coastal plain species. The Carex with
fine wiry culms, used for (2500 ft.) is C. tenera
var. echinodes, apparently local.
Aug. 2 (Sunday).
Pilot Knob, Lake George. Thuya abundant at low
levels near lake. Solidago repens var. villosa common;
not yet in flower; S. canadensis just coming into
flower; also S. juncea. A few plants of S. serotina
beginning to show yellow.
Aug. 3 (Monday).
To Crossett Pond with Benedict. Aster sacherrum,
Betula lenta, etc. as in Catskills. Carex Crumpfidi
in low woods at Crossett.
Aug. 4 (Tuesday).
To top of head of Harrise Bay with Richard Benedict.
Prince marina, Sarix, Carex paniculosa, Diophorum
