1903] Harger, — A New Station for Phaseolus perennis 291 
itself around and between the stems of the clover, that not a single 
one could be separated from the others without breaking several of 
the parasitic filaments. 
Specimens of the dodder were sent to Mr. F. H. Hillman, Assist- 
ant Botanist, Seed Laboratory, U. S. Department of Agriculture, 
Washington, who identified them as Cuscuta trifolia, Babgt. Mr. 
Hillman claims that this is distinctly different from Cuscuta Epithy- 
mum, Murr. This being true, we have to report a new species of 
Cuscuta from Massachusetts. But even if C. trifolia and C. Epithy- 
mum are conceded to be identical, we are unable to learn that a 
Cuscuta under the latter specific name has been reported from this 
State. 
Later the same species was reported from Spencer, Massachusetts, 
where it had done much damage to a field of clover.-— A. VINCENT 
Osmun, Amherst, Massachusetts. 
A NEW STATION FOR PHASEOLUS PERENNIS.— A station discovered 
by the writer Aug. 18, 1903, carries the known range of Phaseolus 
perennis about twenty-five miles northeasterly from the station noted 
by Mr. Bissell (RHODORA iv:13) to a point near the Housatonic 
River in the town of Huntington. Mr. Bissell’s description of the 
Norwalk station would apply almost word for word to this one, except 
that the marsh near the border of which it is located is hardly even 
brackish.— E. B. HARGER, Oxford, Connecticut. 
CORALLORHIZA INNATA AND TARAXACUM ERYTHROSPERMUM IN 
RHODE IsLAND.— Three species of Corad/orhiza have been definitely 
recorded, in print, from New England. ‘Two of these, C. odontorhiza, 
Nutt., and C. multiflora, Nutt., have been reported from all six of the 
states and the third, C. innata, R. Br., from all except Rhode Island. 
Mr. E. F. Williams mentions! having seen specimens of all three 
species from all the states recorded above with the exception of C. 
odontorhiza from New Hampshire. It is a pleasure to be able to 
report the finding of C. innata in Rhode Island. I collected several 
specimens of it in good flower on the roth of May, 1903, in a swamp 
in North Smithfield. 
On the same date and within half a mile of the same station 
1 RHODORA, 4:18 (1902).
