1902] Chamberlain, — Aulacomnium heterostichum in Maine 169 



To Mr. M. L. Fernald I am indebted for the following data. 

 "The only occurrence of Peltandra in Maine, besides Miss Furbish's 

 Brunswick station, seems to be a record of the plant at South Ber- 

 wick. (Proc. Port. Soc. Nat. Hist. i. 129)." 



At East Parsonsfield in July, 1900, I found in some abundance 

 upon a certain hillside, Conopholis americana (L.) growing among 

 second growth Beech and Hemlock. Of this plant Mr. Fernald has 

 given these facts. " Conopholis lias been collected at Fryeburg by 

 the late Edwin Faxon, and at South Poland by Miss Furbish.' 7 —

Aulacomnium heterostichum in Maine. — In April, 1902, while 

 collecting in open, deciduous woods at Vassalboro. Maine, I found 

 a large tuft of Aulacomnium heterostichum, Br. & Sch., growing upon a 

 steep, moist bank. The plant was abundantly fruited with old cap- 

 sules of the previous year and with very immature ones of the pres- 

 ent season. In his List of the Mosses of Vermont, Dr. Grout 

 gives three stations for this moss in southern Vermont, but the 

 plant has not been heretofore reported from either Maine or New 

 Hampshire. It is not uncommon in southern New England. Dupli- 

 cates of this collection are in the herbarium of Mr. J. F. Collins, and 

 of the New England Botanical Club. — Edward B. Chamberlain, 

 Cumberland Centre, Maine. 



AoUlLEGIA CANADENSIS, VAR. FLAVIKLORA IN MAINE. I have JUSt 



noticed the name Aquikgia canadensis flaviflora (Tenney) Britton in 

 Britton's Manual. For many years I have had a pale yellow form 

 growing in my garden and on our campus. The originals came from 

 near Topsham, Maine. I suppose this form to be the same as Pro- 

 fessor Britton's. Mine has always been true to the parent in seed- 

 lings, though it is growing near the typical form. — Leslie A. Lee, 

 Bowdoin College, Brunswick, Maine. 



[ A. canadensis, var. P//if>f>enii\ J. Robinson, a form with salmon-colored 

 flowers, described from near Salem, Massachusetts, has been found sparingly 

 with the ordinary form of the species bv Mr. M. L. Fernald at Orono. Maine
