1901] Furbish, — Cardamine bellidifolia 185, 
CARDAMINE BELLIDIFOLIA IN CUMBERLAND COUNTY, MAINE. — On 
Sept. 10, 1900, I found this rare alpine species by a stream in West 
Baldwin, only a few miles northwest of Portland. The plant was 
growing in crevices of granite rock by a stream in a deep gorge. 
This stream descends from the highest hills of the region, Saddleback 
Hills, which are wooded to the top and have an altitude of only 1190 
feet. The point at which the Cardamine was found was near the 
base of these hills, perhaps at an altitude of 500 feet. Lest there 
should be some mistake about the identity of the plant, it was sent 
to the Gray Herbarium, and there pronounced C. bellidifolia. It is 
surprising to find this plant, otherwise known south of Labrador only 
in the alpine regions of Katahdin and Washington, in a low section 
like West Baldwin, for there the country is ordinarily very dry and 
the soil light and sandy, while the region is much more characterized 
by southern species — Galium circaezans, Gerardia quercifolia, Adi- 
antum pedatum, Desmodium paniculatum, Helianthus divaricatus, and 
Lespedeza frutescens —than by northern plants. — KATE FURBISH, 
Brunswick, Maine. 
ADDITIONS TO THE FLORA OF WORCESTER COUNTY, 
MASSACHUSETTS, — III. 
RorLtAND M. HARPER. 
As I only spent two or three weeks in Massachusetts in 1goo, I 
was not able to find many more additions to the flora of Worcester 
County. But a few plants, which I collected in 1899, have since 
been identified as species not previously known from the county, 
and these with a few which I collected last May and June make up 
the following list. d 
Panicum macrocarpon, Le Conte. Collected in rich, shady woods, 
Southbridge, June 24, 1899. 
Eleocharis palustris, var. glaucescens, Gray. Moist meadow, South- 
bridge, June 24, 1899. 
Scirpus rubrotinctus, Fernald. One specimen collected beside a 
small brook, Hardwick, July 2, 1899. Identified by Mr. Fernald. 
It may of interest to note here that I collected this species the follow- 
ing day in Fitzwilliam, N. H., at one of the localities cited in the 
original description (RHODORA, 2: 20, 21. 19900).
