Savastaua odorata Scrihn. (Seneca-grass, fig, 4).—A small grass, 6 to 12 inches high, with largo heads; whole plant emits a delightful fragrance. It occurs in cold, swampy ground from middle to high altitudes, some- times in such quantity as to constitute a perceptible part of the forage. Willow Creek, May 22 (2908).

Stipa Columbiana Macoun (Co- lumbian Needle-grass).—A bunch grass with numerous long leaves, the ui)per part of the stems naked and hearing a long i)aniclo with awns of moderate length, 2 to 3 feet high.

It is very abuiulant on the plains and in the dry foothills of the eastern part of the State. Pine Blutl's, .July 5 (3G03). Stipa nelsoni Scribn. (Nels
