TYPICAL GOODYERA REPENS IN NEw ENGLAND.— In RHODORA, i. 
p. 6, Mr. Fernald has separated our northeastern form of Goodyera 
repens, R. Br. with broad white borders along the veins of the leaf, as 
var. ophioides. ‘The typical form, with somewhat larger leaves and dark 
veins, seemed to be restricted to alpine and extreme northern regions of 
both continents, though reported also from the slopes of Pike’s Peak 
and from a few other stations in the Rocky Mountains. But we have 
now to record its discovery in New England and New Brunswick. It 
was collected on Mt. Kineo, Maine, Aug. 28, 1895 (in fruit), by Mr. 
J. G. Jack ; on the Nepisiguit River, New Brunswick, in August, 1898, 
by Mr. G. U. Hay; and at Ripton (alt. 1300 ft.), Vermont, Aug. 9, 
1899, by the writer. Specimens from the first and last stations are in 
the Gray Herbarium. — Ezra Brainerp, Middlebury, Vermont. 
HUDSONIA ERICOIDES IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. — I was surprised to learn 
from Dr. Robinson's list of New England Cistaceae (RHODORA, i. 212), 
that Hudsonia ericoides, L., has not been reported from New Hamp- 
shire. I have in my herbarium a specimen collected June 7, 1892, 
by Mr. H. E. Sargent at Concord, New Hampshire, an occurrence 
noteworthy, not only as the first recorded in this state, but as furnishing 
an inland station for a maritime plant. A portion of the specimen 
has been sent to Cambridge for deposit in the Gray Herbarium. — WIL- 
LARD W. EccLESTON, Rutland, Vermont. 
[Since the receipt of the above note, specimens of //udsonia ericoides from the 
same locality have been exhibited to the New ENGLAND BoTANICAL CLUB by Mr. F. 
W. Bachelder, who reports the station as covering a considerable tract of rocky 
ground. — Ep.)
