250 Rhodora [Decembm 



with grass seed when the land was last ploughed and reseeded 

 Owing to the death of the owner it is impossible to say exactly how 

 long the land has been in turf but it is at least eight years and prob- 

 ably longer since the land was under plough. So far as L have been 

 able to ascertain not one of these three species has before been 

 reported as growing this side of the Atlantic. The occurrence of the 

 three at one station is interesting. Apparently the plants have main- 

 tained themselves for at least eight years. They have little oppor- 

 tunity to spread from seed however as the field is mown at too early 

 a date to allow seed to ripen, thus it is probable that whenever the 

 field is again ploughed the plants will disappear. 



Crepis taraxaeifolia, Thuill. (Growing throughout Europe.) Of 

 this species about twenty plants were found, the plants growing one 

 in a place. 



Crcpis rjgida, W. &. K. (Growing in Eastern and Northern 

 Europe and Western Asia.) Only one plant of this species was found. 



I.eontodon /tasti/is, L. (Growing throughout Europe and the 

 Orient.) One colony of this species was found comprising ten or a 

 dozen individuals. — C. H. BlSSELL, Southington, Connecticut.
