1938. 83 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, ```</output> <think></think>{
