be identical with Mr. Fletcher’s plant. Both are much more like the 
Asian /ris setosa than a plant, which I also received from Mr. 
Leichtlin, which was said to come from Alaska, and which, though 
really an Z. setosa, more fully perhaps deserves an independent name 
than does the Canadian form. Its deep rich purple flowers and 
tall habit make it a handsome plant. 
It is interesting to observe that Zrs setosa, like so many other of 
your North American plants of Asian origin, has been driven to 
your eastern seaboard, and nearly pushed out of the country. I can 
learn no evidence of its existence between Alaska on the west and 
East Canada. The Z. versicolor of Canada appears to me wholly 
identical with the /. versicolor of the States but of less luxuriant 
growth.

t. 683. 
The range of this species can now be extended along the coast of 
CONNECTICUT where it has been found by Graves near New London, 
by Harger at Oxford and Southbury, and by Hames at Stanford on 
the Hoosatonic River. 
Crataegus Gravesii, n. sp. Leaves ovate to obovate, acute or 
rounded at the apex, narrowed from below the middle to the concave- 
cuneate or rarely rounded entire base, and slightly divided above the 
middle into 3 or 4 pairs of broad acute lobes; when they unfold 
tinged with red and coated above with silky white hairs and nearly 
fully grown when the flowers open and then membranaceous, light 
green and slightly hairy above with scattered pale hairs; at maturity 
thin but firm in texture, glabrous, dark green and lustrous on the 
upper surface, pale yellow-green on the lower surface, usually 3.5—4 
cm. long and 2.5-3 cm. wide, with slender yellow midribs and 3 or 4
