1902] Driggs, — Notes on Mora of Connecticut 37 



Juniperus Sabi/ia, vax.procumbens, Pursh. (Hartford, Manchester). 

 Originally planted, now evidently growing without cultivation. The 

 same may be said of Thuya occidentalism L. (East Hartford). Aside 

 from the fact that they grow without cultivation they can hardly be 

 considered a part of our general flora. 



Zizia aurea, Koch. var. obtusifolia, Bissell, Rhodora, ii. 225, has 

 been collected in quantity from Canaan and So. Windsor. 



Lactuca Ziirsuta, Muhl. Canton, August 14, 1901, along the main 

 road, northern border of Mt. Horr. The species seems to be rare 

 or at least only occasional. This, a single specimen, is the only one 

 I have seen from the central part of the state during the past five 

 years. 



Prenanthes trifoliolata, Fernald, is being recognized more or less 

 throughout the state. Along the main road from Granby to Sims- 

 bury it is noticeable. 



Cassia Chamaccrista, L. Frequent and often common in towns 

 along the coast, it is noticeably less frequent in the interior of the 

 state. In the Connecticut valley it is well established and plentiful 

 as far northward as Middletown, rather sparingly in Cromwell, Rocky 

 Hill, and South Glastonbury. At Hartford I have seen one colony 

 of few plants. 



Desmodium Canadense, DC, throughout the central and northern 

 portions of the state is an abundant and prolific wayside plant. I 

 have seen it by the wayside in woods, but very sparingly, rather 

 appearing as though it were not in its right habitat. In Connecticut 

 it certainly has its most striking and handsome growth in strictly 

 open places, preferring dry soil and the wayside. I always associate 

 D. Canadense with such environment. 



Desmodium canescens, DC, is more frequent than D. cuspidatum, 

 T. & G., growing in abundance about the tobacco fields throughout 

 the Connecticut valley and adjacent hill towns. 



Carex intumescens, Rudge, although listed from but two stations is 

 well distributed in the Connecticut valley. 



Carex Muh/enbergii, var. enervis, Boott. Stamford, July 24, 1901. 

 Not before reported from the State. Is plentiful along a path leading 

 to the point of land south of the electric light station. Southern New 

 York has been the northern limit according to Britton and Brown. 



Carex mirabi/is, Dewey. Reported from Meriden and Bridgeport. 

 Large quantities were found on the Talcott Mt. Range, town of West 

 Hartford, July 24, 1901.
