64 Rhodora [MARCH 
of Selden’s Cove in Lyme. Originally collectėd near Hartford, this 
species has subsequently been found (in one of its forms) along 
the Connecticut at stations in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and 
Vermont (see RHODORA, ii, 60). This new station thus extends its 
known range in New England quite to the mouth of the Connecticut 
River. 
Scirpus Torreyi Olney —with the preceding growing abundantly ; 
in good condition by July ro. Probably its first record in the state. 
Carex tetanica Schk. — One station in Waterford. This rare spe- 
cies, otherwise known in New England only from northern Maine 
and from Berkshire County, Massachusetts, is to be expected in 
western Connecticut. 
Carex ptychocarpa Steud.— With the last. A southern species 
known from only two more northern stations, one in Rhode Island, 
the other in Purgatory Swamp, Norwood, Massachusetts. 
Sagittaria subulata (L.) Buchenau — Shore of Selden's Cove in 
Lyme; first reported from this station many years ago by Miss 
Thompson of East Haddam. This is apparently the only known 
station in New England. 
Sagittaria heterophylla Pursh.— Shores of Connecticut River and 
Selden's Cove in Lyme ; also in Norwich (Setchell). 
Sagittaria Engelmanniana J. G. Smith — Waterford, in peat bogs. 
Not previously recorded from Connecticut, although known from 
Long Island and from Cape Cod. 
Commelina communis L. — Occasionally seen in gutters and waste 
places, New London. 
Rumex altissimus Wood — One plant in waste ground, New Lon- 
don; has been observed now for three seasons. 
Rumex Patientia L.— A few plants near Selden's Cove in Lyme. 
This and the preceding species are apparently seldom seen in Con- 
necticut. 
Prunus Alleghaniensis Porter.— Specimens of a plum which Mr. 
Fernald has identified as this species were collected by the writer in 
1898 and 1899 in Lisbon, where it was found growing sparingly on 
sandy bottoms along the Quinebaug River. This species has been 
known hitherto only from central Pennsylvania. 
Linum medium (Planch.) Britton — Sandy roadsides, Waterford 
and Old Lyme. This would seem to be one of those plant forms 
which are more easily distinguished in the field than in the herba-
