AJUGA GENEVENSIS IN New ENGLAND.—In the last edition of 
Gray’s Manual and in Britton and Brown’s Illustrated Flora only one 
species of Ajuga is given and that is introduced, growing in New 
England and the Middle States, 4. reptans, L. Dr. Britton’s later 
Flora, however, states in the appendix that Æ. genevensis, L., has 
become established at a station in Pennsylvania. This is similar to 
A. reptans, L., but differs from that species in its larger flowers, 
stouter habit, more pubescent stem and leaves, and in its lack of run- 
ners. . 
A. reptans is established near Saco, Maine, about New York City, 
and is reported from various other stations. A recent investigation 
shows that some reports of stations for this species are erroneous 
and that the plant is 4. genevensis instead. Many of the reports of 
Ajuga are not based on herbarium specimens so it is at present 
impossible to say just how many should be credited to 4. reptans 
and how many to A. genevensis. 
I have seen specimens of the latter species from New York City, 
collected many years ago by Judge Brown (the station is now prob- 
ably improved out of existence), from Danville, Pennsylvania (the 
station noted in Dr. Britton's Flora), from New Haven, Connecticut, 
where it seems to be well established, and from Southington, Conn- 
ecticut, where it is established at two stations. This is the plant 
listed in the recent Southington Flora as A. reptans, L. We certainly 
have both species of Ajuga established here in New England and the 
writer would be very glad to get specimens of either from any station 
so that we may find their exact distribution.— C. H. BissELL, South-

RED-FLOWERED ANEMONE RIPARIA.— Anemone riparia, the tall 
graceful Anemone of calcareous northern river-banks, was originally 
described! as having large white sepals, rarely varying to greenish 
white. Recently, however, Mr. George H. Richards has brought to 
the Gray Herbarium, with Dryas Drummondii, Anemone multifida, 
and other unusual plants collected by him on the banks of Grand 
River, Gaspé County, Quebec, a specimen of Anemone riparia with 
deep red sepals. This extreme color-variation, although previously
