192 Rhodora [Jury 
a Cyperus which seemed different from the common species of this 
vicinity. It was past its prime, dead ripe in fact, and I was not able 
to name it to my satisfaction but called it provisionally C. Schweinttsit, 
Torr. This winter President Ezra Brainerd identified it as C. Hough- 
toni, Torr., a species which appears to have been found only once 
before in this state, namely at Fairlee Lake by Professor Jesup. I 
also collected it at Keeseville, New York, in September, 1900, which 
must likewise be a new station, as the range of the species in Britton 
and Brown's Illustrated Flora is Massachusetts to Minnesota, Kansas 
and Oregon. Thetwo stations here recorded are almost opposite each 
other, the one on the eastern and the other on the western shore of 
Lake Champlain, and about the same distance back from the lake 
shore.— NELLIE F. FLvNN, Burlington, Vermont. 
CLEMATIS VERTICILLARIS IN THE MIDDLESEX FELLs.— On May 
20, 1902, and again on May 13, 1903, I found in Middlesex Fells 
Clematis verticillaris, DC. growing on the ledges around Pine hill. 
This species is not mentioned in Dame and Collins’ Z7ora of Middle- 
sex County, nor in the catalogue of plants of the Middlesex Fells pub- 
lished by the Metropolitan Park Commission. It is growing over a 
space of fully 250 sq. ft. In r9go2 when a specimen was shown to 
Dr. Dame he recalled having a single plant brought to him by a 
pupil when he was making his catalogue, but he could not find the 
species himself in the locality described and therefore did not put it 
into his list. The large number of plants now growing there seems 
to indicate that it has been established a long time, and the specimen 
he then had probably came from this place. Dr. Dame’s remem- 
brance of the locality described to him more than fifteen years ago 
agrees with the present place of growth. — ROBERT DILLINGHAM
