Borago officinalis, L. A single collection of this plant at Lowell, 
Mass., in 1848 is recorded in the Flora Middlesex Co., Mass.; the 
specimen, in Herb. Bost. Soc. Nat. Hist., has not been seen. 
Heliotropium curassavicum, L. was collected in 1897 by Mr. J. C. 
Parlin at No. Berwick, Me., in sandy soil made saline by the waste 
from a pickle factory ; Æ. europaeum, L.is reported from Cambridge 
and Westford, Mass.; Æ. indicum, L. has been found at Cambridge, 
Mass., by Mr. Walter Deane. 
Krynitskia californica, Gray. (Allocarya californica, Greene.) A 
specimen of this plant (ticketed Aritrichium oxycaryum, Gray) is in 
the Herb. N. E. Bot. Club from wool waste at N. Chelmsford, Mass. 
(See Flora Middlesex Co, p. 75). The plant has also been found 
in similar situations at No. Berwick, Me., by Mr. J. C. Parlin. 
Lithospermum angustifolium, Mx., and Mertensia virginica, DC., 
were introduced at Concord, Mass., by Mr. Minott Pratt, but have 
not persisted. (See Flora Middlesex Co. p. 76; and RHOD. I : 168.) 
Myosotis collina, Hoffm. The plant from York Co., Me., reported 
as this species in RHOD. 1: 76., proves to be M. verna, Nutt. Myos- 
otis collina (M. hispida, Schlecht.) has blue flowers, the fruiting calyx 
about 2 mm. long with hooked pubescence and merely equalling the 
straight spreading pedicels. The plant is from 3-6 inches high, 
with spatulate or oblanceolate, hairy leaves which are clustered at 
the base of the stem. When in mature fruit the raceme is bractless, 
and much longer than the leafy part of the stem. 
Onosmodium virginianum, DC. This plant appears to reach its 
northern limit, in New England, at about the southern boundary of 
Massachusetts. To the writer’s knowledge the most northern station 
thus far reported is at Monson, Mass. (lat. 42° 5—10), given in 
Tuckerman & Frost, Catl Pl. within 3o m. Amherst, (1875). 
Specimens have been seen from the following stations: Mass.; Cen- 
terville, Nantucket Id.: R. I.; Cranston, Providence, Smithfield : 
Conn.; New Haven, Fairfield. The plant has been reported also 
from New Bedford, Mass., and Southbury, Conn, Further informa- 
tion regarding its distribution is much desired.
