m. P. SOMES, Curator fort dooge, iowa, July 11,1906. < Dr. N.L.Britton, Dear Sir;_ I am sending you today^under,separate,pover, some specimens of the procumbent form of Ludwigia polycarpa, concerning which I wnote you some time ago. These are not as distinctive and typical specimens of this particular form oftthe plant,as I might wish but they will give you some idea of the variation from type# I will try to get you some fresh specimens of this a little later# The plant is found in very similaar localities to those of the type,is much more branched and zo those or z many /fof the^divergent branches bear rootlets. These specimsns were secured along the edge of a "slough” on September 6 th# I have since found the same form in several localities along a small stream near here# Please let me know what you think of "Ludwigia polycarpa &eoumbens,f# A friend of mine just back from western Kansas brought me some very interesting forms of Katibida columnaris in which all the flowers were ligulate (those of the cone as well as the rays) -Another interesting (to us ) find here recently was the grass Scolochloa festucacea - I think t hat this is its most southern station in the U.S. Am I right ? Hoping to hear from you soon I remain Yours very truly Pressed Specimens of Wild Plants for exchange. M. P. Somes, F®rt Dodge, la.
