Report of the State Botanist.
Scirpus Peckii Britton.
Lake Pleasant, Hamilton County. August. First collected
in this locality in 1875. It Avas again collected in 1891,
but in a new station. It Avas reported last year under
the name Scirpus polyphyllus var. macrostachys. Professor
Britton has recentl}" published it as a distinct species, and as such
it is now reported. It certainly is quite distinct from our ordinary
forms of S. polyp)hyll%Ls. Specimens sometimes occur in which a
cluster of spikelets is borne on a long pedicel issuing from the
axil of the uppermost leaf.
Panicum nitidum Mx.
Sandy soil near Riverhead. July.
Panicum laxiflorum Lam.
With the preceding species. July.
Zygodon conoideus JDicl-s.
Base of a birch tree. Adirondack mountains. Mrs. E. G.
Britton. The specimen is sterile.
Tricholoma serratifolium. n. s/>.
Pileus fleshy, firm, convex or nearly plane, often irregular, dry
silky or flocculose-squamulose, white, often slightly tinged with
broAvn or yellowish-brown in the center, flesh white or whitish,
taste at first mild, then acrid; lamella? broad, close, adnexed,
serrate or eroded on the edge, Avliite; stem short, stout, solid,
white; spores broadly elliptical or subglobose, .(>24 in.
long, .0002 broad.
Pileus 2 to 4 in. broad; stem about 1 in. long. 3 to (i lines
thick.
Woods. Shokan. September.
This is apparently related to such species as T. psammopodum
and T. impolitum, but distinct from them in color and in the
character of the lamellne.
Tricliolonia submaculatum n. sp.
Pileus convex or nearly plane, sometimes slightly depressed in
the center; glabrous, brownish, sometimes tinged with ferrugin-
ous, becoming obscurely spotted with age, flesh white; lamellae
