1902J Prince, — Some Plants of Intervale, N. H. 61 



and certainly not like anything on Cape Cod. In answer to my 

 inquiries I was informed that a few years before a Wareham schooner 

 had brought back from Chesapeake Bay a ballast load of gravel 

 which had been used on the sandy road at this part to make a better 

 highway. Almost all gravel transportation is by railroad and for 

 comparatively short distances, but when brought in schooner loads 

 from a southern shore we may certainly expect new plants and ani- 

 mals to be concealed in it. — G. G. Kennedy, Readville, Massachu- 

 setts. 



Some Plants of Intervale, New Hampshire. — It may interest 

 the readers of Rhodora to know that in August of the years 1889 

 and 1890 Pogonia pendula was found at Intervale, New Hampshire. 

 It grew not very plentifully in two or three very limited areas under 

 beech trees, often pushing up through the beech leaves and carrying 

 them like an unwieldy collar at a little distance below the flowers. 

 Since the years mentioned I have not been in Intervale during the 

 month of August and have no means of knowing whether this 

 orchid still grows there. 



Along a railway cutting through a sand bank at Intervale, there is 

 always to be found a quantity of Polygonclla articulata, — a station 

 unusually far inland and also marking perhaps the northern limit of 

 this species in New England. 



Hudsonia tomentosa grows plentifully among sand and pebbles in 

 abandoned beds of the Saco along the road to Echo Lake, or in 

 bottoms subject to overflow, and has increased noticeably in the last 

 ten years. From the Gray Herbarium I learn that this is the Hud- 

 sonia secured at Intervale some years ago by Miss Susan Minns. 

 Her plant was correctly determined as H. tomentosa by the late Dr. 

 Sereno Watson and is so labeled in the Gray Herbarium, but by some 

 clerical error it was recorded in the 6th edition of Gray's Manual as 

 H. ericoides and this mistake was repeated in the Synoptical Flora. 



I have also found Paronychia argyrocotna on sand bars of the Saco 

 near Humphrey's Ledge at Intervale. — Frances C. Prince, Boston, 

 Massachusetts. 



The " King-devil Weed " in the Penobscot Valley. — I am not 

 aware that Hieracium praealtum has been recorded from this part of 

 Maine, and if not the following record may be of interest. On June
