ADDITIONS TO THE FLORA OF CONNECTICUT.

Since the publication in 1910 of the Cataloijue of Flowering Plants
and Ferns of Connecticut/ a large amount of exploration has been
clone in the state and several j^reviously unknown or inaccessible col-
lections have been examined. The present article is an attempt to
put the more important results of this work on record.- It includes
reports of 88 indigenous and of 72 introduced species, varieties and
named forms not included in the former publication. These have
been marked, the native plants with an asterisk and the introduced
plants with a dagger, in the following list.

'In the case of rerords not hiTi* puhlishtnl for the first time, reference has been made
in parenthesis to the original puhlicalion.

106 ' Rhodora [June

In addition there have been included a hirge number of new stations
for the rarer species and extensions of range for those reported from
restricted areas. Of such data, a considerable quantity which does
not markedly modify the statements of the Catalogue has been
excluded, because it seemed best to keep within reasonable limits of
space. But it has been the intention to include all significant new
information.

An attempt has been made to give the distribution of segregates
published since 1910; but further study is likely to modify some of
the conclusions here expressed.

In the Catalogue not reported from west of the Connecticut River.

In the Catalogue the ranges of three species of Muhlcnhcrgia of the
incxicana group were necessaril} left somewhat indefinite because of
lack of data. It is now possible to make a more definite statement, as
follows : —

Muhlexbergia sylvatica Torr. Occasional. Woods, borders of
thickets and banks of streams.

M. FOLiosA (R. & S.) Trin. Open bogs, wet woods, or rarely in
drier ground. Frequent in the northern part of the state, becoming
occasional near the coast.

The awned form has been collected at Guilford (W. R. Dudley,
1872; specimen in Herb. Yale University).

M. MEXICANA (L.) Trin. Fields, dooryards, roadsides and waste
places, preferring moist, rich soil: Scotland (Weatherhy), Litchfield
(J. P. Brace about 1820; specimen in Herl), Williams College: Rho-
dora, xvi. 90), New Milford (Eames) and frequent or locally common
in the central and southern parts of the state. Not reported from
Tolland Co.

The awned form occurs with the typical form, but less commonly.

These three species, though offering, as defined by Prof. Scril)ner,
a much more natural classification than the old one based on the
presence or absence of the awn, are closely related, variable and not
always easy to distinguish clearly. As between 3/. nirxicana and the
other two, a serviceable and constant character is found in the culm,
which in the former, is glabrous throughout and in the two latter,
minutely puberulent l)elow the nodes. — C. A. Weatherry.

M. capillaris (Lam.) Trin. Cheshire (A. E. Blewitt). Otherwise
known onlv from New Haven.

110 Rhodora [June

Sporobolus neglectus Nash. Kent (Weatherby).
S. UNiFLORUS (Muhl.) Scribn. & Merr. Fairfield and Easton

P. angustata Rand & Redfield, not Poa angiistata R. Br. Rare. Shore
of Blackball River, Old Lyme (Graves).

The genus Pucdnellia is here treated according to the revision by
Fernald & Weatherby (Rhodora, xviii. 1-22), much of the material
referred in the Catalogue to P. distans being here included under
P.fascicidafa (P. Borrcri of the Catalogue).

Our species as recognized here may be distinguished by the following
key (adapted from Fernald & Weatherby) : —

A. Lower branches of the comparatively short panicle (0.2-1.6 dm. long)
densely flowered nearly to the base or at least below the middle; lem-
mas thick and coriaceous, without a broad hyaline tip; the midnerve
reaching the apex of the lemma, often excmrent as a very short mucro

P. fasciculata
A. Lower branches of the panicle floriferous chiefly above the middle; lem-
mas thin and membranaceous in texture, or at least with a broad hya-
line tip; the midnerve not excurrent. B.

B. Lemmas erose-ciliolate or serrulate under a lens P. distans

B. Lemmas essentially entire P. paupercula, var. alaskana

* Festuca rubra, var. subvillosa Mert. & Koch. Dry, rather
barren hillside pastures and in a lawn: Franklin (R. W. Woodward,
Rhodora, xiii. 70).

Waterbury and Woodbury (A. E. Blewitt). Occasional in south-
western Connecticut (Eames).

t B. ARVENSis L. Well established in several dry fields, roadsides

from Eurasia.

B. ixcANUS (Shear) Hitchc. Willimantic (G. E. Nichols), Col-
chester, Southbury and Oxford (Harger), Windsor (Weatherby),

(1837). L. Boiichcanum Kunth. Fields and roadsides: East Haven
(Bissell), Bridgeport (Eames), Greenwich (Bissell & Weatherby).
This has been confused with L. yereyinc. Forms intermediate between
this and the typical form occur at Fairfield and Bridgeport (Eames).

The above forms are difficult to distinguish in herbarium material
by any clear characters, but are kept apart as sub-species or even as
species by practically all recent European authors on the ground that
one is annual and the other perennial. . The specimens cited under the
variet}', except that from Greenwich, were referred to L. percnnc in the
Catalogue.

The following key may help to distinguish these plants: —

A. Unexpanded leaves folded; rachis usually smooth except on the angles;
glumes of the upper spikelets exceeding the contiguous floret, usually

more than half the length of the spikelet L. perenne

A. Unexpanded leaves rolled in from each margin toward the mid- vein;
rachis usually roughened; glumes of the upper spikelets not exceeding
the contiguous spikelet. B.
B. Annual; spikelets 10-20-flo\vered; glumes of the lowest spikelets

often exceeding the contiguous floret L. multiflorum

B. Perennial; spikelets 5-8(9)-flowered; none of the glumes exceeding
the contiguous floret L. multiflorum, var. diminutum

t L. TEMULEXTUM L., var. LEPTOCHAETOX A. Br. Associated with
the typical form, Bridgeport (Eames).

t HoRDEUM TRIFURCATUM Jacq. Rare. Waste ground and fence-
rows: Berlin and Southington (Andrews).

C. TRisPERMA Dewey, var. Billixgsii Knight. Much more com-
mon than was supposed at the time of pul)lication of the Catalogue.
It is a characteristic plant of cold sphagnum bogs where it takes the
place of the typical form, which prefers swampy, but less sphagnous
woods. Occasionally, however, the two grow together, showing that
the variety is not merely an ecological state.

from which it differs in having the hyaline band of the sheaths smooth,
not puckered, and with a conspicuous cartilaginous apex, which is
yellow after drying, and in its longer perigynia with beak equalling
or longer than the body.

t Gymnadexia conopsea R. Br. Litchfield (Miss Anna M. Vail,
Bull. Torr. Bot. Club, xxxvii. 432). A single specimen in the Her-
barium of the Torrey Botanical Club — the only known collection from
North America. Miss Vail does not now^ remember just when nor
where it was found. It may possibly have been introduced by some
lover of flowers; and collectors should be on the lookout for it about
Litchfield, that it may be, if possible, rediscovered and its status

At the station in North Canaan a single plant of the form was found
growing with A. rubra and A. alba. The berries of A. rubra and forma
neglecta were mature. Those of A. alba were half-grown. Growing
near was another plant with the slender pedicels of A. rubra but with
the half-grown fruit of A. alba and with leaves more nearly like the
latter. The different combinations of characters suggest that one or
both of these forms may be of hybrid origin. — E. B. Harger. •

well with authentic material of R. Randii; but R. Randii is probably
only a weak form of R. canadensis.
