some of the flowers. This species has not been reported from North 

 America; but the " Tillaca simplex" mentioned in Mr. J. M. 

 Macoun's Contributions to Canadian Botany 1 as "new to Canada," 

 and collected also on Prince Edward Island, may be T. Vaillantii. 



August sixth, the last day of my stay, I was joined by Mr. 

 Watson from Charlottetown ; and we rambled and collected to- 

 gether, enjoying the companionship and alike intent upon a whole- 

 some and congenial pursuit. Thus pleasantly ended last sum- 

 mer's pleasant sojourn in a pleasant country ! The warnings that 

 were given to deter us were indeed verified, that the island was a gar- 

 den ; but it was also demonstrated that this garden contains many 

 beds of flowers and many species which the gardener does not know 

 are there, and which may well attract other botanists, as they did me, 

 to the delightful summer observation and collection of them, and the 

 critical and reminiscent winter study that follows of their forms and 

 habits, their places, and their names. 



NOTES ON THE FLORA OF CONNECTICUT. 

 A. W. Driggs. 



In looking over the pages of Mr. Bishop's recent list of Connecti- 

 cut plants, I find several I have reported in years past that need cor- 

 rection, and some additions that may be worthy of note at this time. 



Botrychium laincolatum, Angstroem (West Hartford) proves to 

 be B. matricaruufolium, Braun, as noted in Rhodora, iii. 36. 



Onoclea sensibilis, L., forma obtusilobata is noticeable to a consider- 

 able extent throughout the northern part of the state. It seems to 

 be frequent in pastures, along roadsides where cattle have occasion- 

 ally grazed, and I have found it about railroad embankments where 

 bushes have been cut. 



Woodwardia angustifolia, Smith, reported from East Hartford in 

 the list of 1895, was stricken out in the Additions and Corrections 

 as I was unable to verify the report. It has since been discovered 

 in low woods in the central part of the town. This station is some 

 fifty miles inland. Lygodium pahnatum, Swtz. also finds its home 

 here.
