the regal-satanic name but mildly indicates the obnoxious character 

 of the plant.— LeRoy H. Harvey, Hull Botanical Laboratory, 

 University of Chicago. 



Ranunculus arortivus, var. eucyclus in Hyde Park, Massa- 

 chusetts. — On June 17, 1900, a few specimens of Ranunculus 

 abortivus, var. eucyc/us, Fernald, 1 were found with the species in a 

 moist shady woodland within the boundaries of the Stony Brook 

 Reservation, Hyde Park, Massachusetts. Specimens are preserved 

 in the herbarium of the New England Botanical Club and in my own 

 herbarium. The Hyde Park locality is apparently the only station 

 reported in Eastern Massachusetts for this plant south of Ipswich. 

 — F. G. Floyd, West Roxbury, Mass. 



The sta.minate plant of Antennaria Parlinii. — While Mr. E. 

 F. Williams and I were making a botanical excursion through the 

 northern part of Wilmington, Middlesex county, Massachusetts, on 

 May 18, 1902, we observed by the roadside and in the adjoining 

 fields unusually fine patches of Antennaria Parlinii, Fernald, growing 

 with others of the more common species of this genus. A careful 

 search resulted in the discovery of two small clumps of the rare 

 staminate plants. As this form of the species has been reported be- 

 fore from Maine only (Rhodora, i : 156. 1899) , and then in much less 

 abundance, this new station is of much interest. Specimens have 

 been placed in the Gray Herbarium and the Herbarium of the New 

 England Botanical Club. — E. L. Rand, Boston. 



Further stations for Veronica Chamaedrys. — Through the 

 kindness of Mr. J. F. Collins, Curator of the Herbarium of Brown 

 University, I have just seen a specimen of Veronica Chamaedrys, L. 

 from Rhode Island. It was collected on waste land in Providence 

 by Edith M. Collins and J. H. Collins, May, 1901. This adds a 

 fifth New England state to those recorded for this plant in Rhodora, 

 iv. 107. 



Miss M. E. Blatchford of Cambridge has kindly informed me of a 

 station for Veronica Chamaedrys at Andover, Massachusetts, where it 

 was found in grass land by Miss Alice Buck. I have also learned 

 that the station between Cambridge and Watertown was first dis- 

 covered by Miss Mary Smith of the former city. — B. L. Robinson.
