1 4 Rhodora [January 



North Easton, August, 1899. Two to three hundred specimens were 

 found on the spot. The present year the station was visited and 

 the plant seems to have increased considerably. 



Solarium rosiratum, Dunal, was found in a cultivated field on 

 the border line between South Easton and Brockton, July, 1900. 

 The specimen located was of enormous size, being 3 4-4 feet high. 



Ajuga rcptans, L. ' According to Gray's Manual this species is 

 naturalized near Saco, Maine, Montreal, etc. In July of this year a 

 station was found near Elm street, North Easton, in a rather moist 

 meadow. The plants were growing in good clumps, and if the 

 present conditions remain there is hope of a good increase of the 

 specimens. — Carl Blomberg,. North Easton. 



Notes on the Blue-berried Huckleberry. — 1 have read the 

 communications in Rhodora from time to time concerning Gaxluss- 

 acia rcsinosa glaucocarpa Robinson with much interest. The variety, 

 if it be a variety or rather a distinct species, as it may prove later, is 

 common in eastern Connecticut in the towns of Plainfield, Brooklyn, 

 Canterbury, Voluntown and Sterling. It occurs in distinct clumps 

 generally associated with G. rcsinosa Torr. and Gray. When I was 

 a child I used to pick its berries on account of their larger size, and 

 because of its being different from the common black huckleberry. 

 By some it was considered inferior to the black. I always regarded 

 it as an oddity, and used to hear the older ones speak of it as a cross 

 between the- black huckleberry and blueberry. There was probably 

 no foundation for the theory of its being a cross, other than that it 

 was a bluish-black, and that the black huckleberry and blueberry 

 grew near it. it was locally known as the blue-black huckleberry. 

 While it is characteristic of G. resinosa and of some species of 

 Vaccinium, in many ways, it is, nevertheless, so distinct that it may 

 be readily separated from them in the field by its manner of growth, 

 which is more vigorous than G. resinosa, and by its glaucous leaves.
