1903] Robinson, — Lists of New England Plants,— XII. 191 
England is a single but unmistakable specimen collected near the 
Boston & Albany Railway at Newtonville, Mass., July 28, 1881, by 
C. J. Sprague. It is very doubtful if this species has persisted in 
our flora. 
Some further notes regarding the plants of this list will be pub- 
lished in the August number of RHODORA. 
Gray HERBARIUM. 
Henry Gnisworp Jesur.— It is with deep regret that botanists 
will learn of the death at Hanover, New Hampshire, on June 15th, of 
Henry Griswold Jesup, for twenty-two years professor of botany at 
Dartmouth College and since 1899 emeritus. Professor Jesup was 
one of three noted botanists who graduated from Yale College in the 
class of 1847, the others being the late Sereno Watson, for many 
years curator of the Gray Herbarium, and Mr. John Donnell Smith 
of Baltimore, well known for his extensive and critical work upon the 
Hora of Central America. Professor Jesup’s botanical work was 
chiefly systematic and devoted to the local flora of the region about 
Amherst, Massachusetts, and later in the vicinity of Dartmouth 
College. His most important publication was his Catalogue of the 
Flowering Plants and Higher Cryptogams, both native and intro- 
duced, found within thirty miles of Hanover, New Hampshire ; 
issued in 1891, after some preliminary publications upon the same 
subject. 
In his teaching his gentle and kindly nature, combined with his 
obvious affection for his subject, has left for him a deep and lasting 
regard in the minds of his many students. Among those who enjoyed 
his instruction and who have since become known for their profes- 
sional or amateur work in botany are Professor F. O. Grover of 
Oberlin College, Mr. W. W. Eggleston, an energetic collaborator on 
the recent and admirable Vermont catalogue, and Mr. H. E. Sargent. 
Two plants, Astragalus Robbinsii, var. Jesupi, Eggleston & Sheldon, 
and Crataegus Jesupi, Sargent, have been named in Professor Jesup's 
honor. His herbarium has been permanently deposited at Dartmouth 
College, and is now in charge of his successor, Professor George R. 
Lyman.
