GALIUM ERECTUM AND ASPERULA GALIOIDES IN AMERICA.— While 
at the Gray Herbarium recently the writer showed specimens of a 
plant found growing at Southington, Connecticut, which he supposed 
to be Galium Mollugo, L., but called attention to the fact that in some 
respects it did not agree with the descriptions of that species. Mr. 
Fernald then made a careful examination of the material at the 
Herbarium finding as a result that the plant above noted as well as 
specimens from some other stations should be referred not to G. 
Mollugo, but to the nearly related G. erectum, Huds. 
It is not strange that the two species have been confused by col- 
lectors as Galium erectum is not reported in any of our Manuals as 
growing in America. G. Mollugo has panicled cymes, of which the 
branches are short and forking, the very numerous flowers being 
borne on strongly diverging pedicels. The inflorescence of G. 
erectum is of the same general form but has cymes with fewer and 
more erect branches, the much less numerous and larger flowers 
being borne on ascending pedicels. As far as shown by the material 
at the Gray Herbarium, G. erectum is confined to Nova Scotia and 
New England, its range being from Nova Scotia to Connecticut. G. 
Mollugo has a wider distribution, ranging from Newfoundland south- 
ward through the Middle States. | 
When Mr. Fernald was looking up the above mentioned species 
the writer showed him a specimen of another plant apparently also a
