10. P. pondersa, Dougl., var. scopulrum, Engelm. Leaves in twos or usually threes from long sheaths, 3--6' long, rather rigid; staminate flowers 1' long; cones subterminal, 2--3' long, oval, often 3--5 together, the prominent summit of the thick scales bearing a stout straight or incurved p.r.i.c.kle.--Central Neb. and westward in the Rocky Mountains.--A large tree with very thick bark.
Page 514.--After IRIS CAROLINIANA insert--

(_Short_) to W. Mo. (_Bush_), and on the coast from S. Car. southward.
Page 515.--Sisyrinchium angustifolium. What appears to be a form of this species with pale yellow flowers is found near Independence, Mo.
(_Bush_).

Page 653.--Trisetum subspicatum, var. molle, is reported from Roan Mt., N. C. (_Scribner_), and probably occurs on the higher Alleghanies northward.
Page 662.--After Melica diffusa insert--
3. M. Porteri, Scribn. Tall and slender; panicle very narrow, the slender branches erect or the lower slightly divergent; pedicels flexuous or recurved, p.u.b.escent; glumes very unequal and shorter than the spikelet; fertile flowers 3--5, the glumes scabrous.--Mountains of Col. and southward; reported from Ca.s.s Co., Neb. (_J. G. Smith_).
Page 663.--Distichlis maritima. On alkaline soil in Neb., and very common in similar localities west and southwestward; chiefly the var.
