i oo Rhodora [May 



Rhodendron canescens, Don. Low woods, Salisbury. By an unfortu- 

 nate error Bishop's Catalogue gives R. canescens as "common" and 

 omits R. nudifloriim, Torr. entirely. The common plant of Connecti- 

 cut is not R. canescens, Don, but R. nudiflorum, Torr. ; see discussion 

 of the relations of these two species by Mr. Walter Deane, " Notes 

 on the Ericaceae of New England," Rhodora, July, 190 1. The 

 specimens from this station at Salisbury are the only ones of typical 

 R. canescens that Mr. Deane has been able, thus far, to see from 

 Connecticut. 



Mentha Cardiaca, Gerarde. Wet ground, in sandy soil, Southing- 

 ton. 



Aster tardiflorus, L. Border of lake in moist ground, Salisbury. 

 The only previous report of this species from the state is founded on 

 a doubtful specimen from East Hartford, now in the Gray Herba- 

 rium. 



Heliopsis laevis, Pers. Discovered by Mr. L. Andrews and the 

 writer in open woods, in sandy soil, Southington. 



Bidcns vulgata, Greene. Wet places in rocky ground, Salisbury. 



Specimens showing all the species listed above, have been 

 deposited in the Gray Herbarium of Harvard University. 

 Southington, Connecticut. 



NOTES ON LYCOPODIUM CLAVATUM AND ITS 

 VARIETY MONOSTACHYON. 



Roland M. Harper. 



Dr. Robinson's note on Lycopodium clavatum, var. monostachyon, 

 in Rhodora (3 : 237, 238) last September recalled to me some speci- 

 mens which I collected in a damp pasture on the northern slope of 

 Little Wachusett Mountain, Princeton, Mass., on Sept. 9, 1898 ; and 

 when I came across them in my herbarium recently I saw at once 

 that they agreed with his description in every particular. Mr. 

 Leavitt's observations on the same plant in the March number (4 : 

 57) have added still further to my interest in the subject. 



The typical form was also collected, at the same time and place 

 as the var. monostachyon, but as it was then after sunset I did not
