BOTRYCHIUM MATRICARIAEFOLIUM IN CoNnNecticut.— On July 
4th, 1896, several specimens of Botrychium matriariacfolium, Braun, 
were collected in West Hartford, Connecticut, near the summit of 
the Talcott Range. Of the discovery no special record was made, 
as the plant was not known to be uncommon in the State. A single 
specimen in my herbarium and one in that of Mr. C. A. Weatherby, 
who was collecting with me at the time are the only ones preserved 
from this station. One of these, sent to Mr. Merritt L. Fernald of 
the Gray Herbarium for identification was verified as “good Bot 
rychium matricariacfolium.” In the issue of RHoDona for June, 1900, 
this plant is reported from Southbridge, Massachusetts, that being 
the most southern station known in New England. ‘The discovery 
of the Talcott Mountain station (altitude about 650 feet) not only 
extends the range some few miles southward but adds a new and 
desirable plant to the flora of Connecticut.— A. W. Dricos, East 
Hartford, Connecticut. 
EXTENDED RANGES IN CYPERUS AND HIERACIUM. — Cyperus 
microdontus, Torr. (C. polystachyus, Rottb. var. Zeptostachyus, Boeckl., 
Gray's Man. 6th Edit), given in our manuals as * Virginia to 
Florida and Texas," was collected Sept. 2d, 1900, by the writer on 
the shore of Clay Pit Creek near Navesink, Monmouth Co., New 
Jersey. 
Hieracium vulgatum, Fries, reported in Britton & Brown's Illus- 
trated Flora as “ Labrador and Newfoundland to Quebec and in 
southern New York and New Jersey. Probably introduced. Also 
in Greenland, Northern Europe and Asia," was found on July 28th, 
t900, by J. Franklin Collins and the writer, growing in abundance 
along the shores of the Allagash river, near its confluence with the 
St. John river, Aroostook County, Maine. ‘This was the typical 
form and it appears to be its first discovery in New England. Mr. 
M. L. Fernald has already reported the appearance of Æ. vulgatum, 
var. ¿rriguum, Fries, which he discovered on the cliffs of the Penob- 
scot river and its tributaries. 
Hieracium pratense, Tausch, given in Britton & Brown's Illustrated 
Flora as ** Dongan Hills Staten Island, N. Y." was found on July 19. 
1900, by J. Franklin Collins and the writer at Van Buren, Aroostook 
County, Maine. It was growing along the railway near the station.
