Only the generic name was given by Hooker,
but this is the only species of the genus occurring in the Niagara Frontier
Region. As recently as the 1924 publication by H. House, this genus was renamed
Falcata, but the plant indicated is not, at any rate, a duplicate of the
others reported for Goat Island or vicinity.
