186 Rhodora | [June 
Antennaria Canadensis, var. Randii, Fernald. Dry roadside, South- 
bridge, May 25, 190o. Pistillate only. This variety seems to be 
more common in southern Worcester County than the type. Pre- 
viously reported only from Maine and Vermont; but ,Mr. Fernald 
tells me that he now refers to this variety some specimens collected 
in Lexington, Mass. 
Antennaria fallax, Greene. Dry roadsides, not common. South- 
bridge, May 29, 1900; Charlton, May 3o. 
Antennaria neodioica, var. attenuata, Fernald. Dry roadsides, often 
with the type, Southbridge, May 29, 1900. Not previously reported 
from Massachusetts. 
Antennaria petaloidea, Fernald. Dry roadsides, Southbridge, May 
30, 1900. Only a few specimens found, all pistillate. This species 
has been known hitherto only from Maine, New Hampshire and 
Vermont. 
Two plants of my 1899 list (RHODORA, I: 202), on which I made 
further observations last year, might be mentioned here. 
On June 4 I collected Carex torta again at the place where I found 
it in 1899 (in Southbridge), and traced it from the artificial canal to 
the banks of the Quinebaug River near the upper end of the canal, 
where it was much more abundant, thus confirming my former sup- 
position in regard to the origin of my first specimen. 
On June 12, the day I left Massachusetts, I made a short visit to 
my locality for Orontium aquaticum, in Dudley, and although only 
one specimen was observed, I was surprised to find that it bore ‘ho 
less than eleven spadices in various stages of flower and fruit. So 
this species seems to be in no immediate danger of disappearing 
from this locality. 
Two other plants, which had previously been reported each from 
a single town in the county, were collected last year at new stations. 
Woodsia //vensis, R. Br. (reported only from Spencer), I found in 
Charlton, May 30; and Selaginella rupestris, Spring (reported from 
Worcester), I found in Sturbridge, June 6.
