Sept. 12 (Tuesday).
Plants from Manchester (coll. Aug 21). Pseed with Ezra R.
Yypiris (no. ). This is apparently X. caroliniana. It
does not have the excurrent sepals of X. Coepdonii. The chief
difference between X. caroliniana and X. elate (see Dean
specimens from Florida) seems to be the narrower elongate
sepals in the latter see fig.
Panicum (partly in water) growing with Eleocharis
fasciculata (no. ). Spiklets averagely 1.3 mm.; sheaths pubescent; glume persistent,
approx 3mm long; hus strongly striate-pubescent
above, more sparsely below; sheaths hispid.
In Hutcherick's Man (p.616) this falls into
(30) P. curtifolium "spiklets glabrous or minutely pubescent"
cited from Tennessee by Htutchch (p.646). for [look up]
Lookout Mt. Knox and Penn Sand Mt.
approx(?) P. leucothrix (spiklets 1.2-1.3 mm. long) (not known from
Dean. N.Y.C. (p.706). "Smaller, more slender specimens of this
species [P. longipilulatum Nard] resemble less pubescent specimens of
P. leucothrix; these may be distinguished from that species
by the glabrous culmus and sheaths and slightly smaller spiklets
with fruit exposed at the summit."
Habernaria, (no. ). This is identical with the typical
short-spurred, small-flowered typical northern plant. The lip
is short and strongly fringed. The material from the (no.8580)
Beersheba is quite different: long-spurred (4 cm), lip and
petals not fringed; it occurs in at least two locales,
