190+] Graves, — Plants of southeastern Connecticut, — IV 49 



by the late Joseph Barratt and marked: (i) "In arid sands, 

 Chatham, 2 feet high, Barratt"; (2) "Chatham sands, opp. Middle- 

 town on the Banks of the River Connt. 1834, Sept. Barratt." 



Salix pentandra L. A single small tree of this species grows close 

 to the shore of the Connecticut River a short distance north of Had- 

 lyme Ferry. Its surroundings make it probable that it is spontaneous 

 at that point. 



Madura aiirantiaca Nutt. is spontaneous along a roadside north of 

 the railroad station at Waterford, having escaped from the adjoining 

 grounds. 



Kuhus ciincif alius Pursh was found by the writer in Sept., 1902, in 

 a pasture near the Lyman Viaduct in the northwestern part of Col- 

 chester. This is, I believe, the first report of its occurrence east of 

 the Connecticut River. 



Spiraea lobata Jacq. is well established in a low brushy lot near the 

 roadside about one mile east of Groton ferry, having probably escaped 

 from a neighboring garden. 



Solidago Canadensis L. var. glabraia Porter. This form grows on 

 the low sandy levels bordering Selden's Cove in Lyme, where it was 

 discovered July 29, 1902, by Messrs. C. H. Bissell, L. Andrews and 

 the writer. So far as I am aware it has not hitherto been reported 

 from Connecticut. At the date mentioned it was just coming into 

 bloom, a surprising fact when it is considered that 5. Canadensis is 

 one of our late flowering goldenrods. It would be interesting to 

 know whether the flowering seasons of these two forms show nor- 

 mally such a divergence in time. 



Lactuca Scariola L. and its var. integrata Grenier & Godron, 

 were found by me in the summer of 1902 growing on filled land 

 adjoining Pequot Ave., New London. The species with its pin- 

 nately lobed leaves is apparently rare. At this station it was much 

 less abundant than the variety. 



Bidens aristosa (Michx.) Britton. This western species has been 

 detected at Norwich by Mrs. Klisha E. Rogers, and by the writer at 

 South Windham and Lebanon. 



For aid in verifying the determination of some of the plants noted 

 above, I am under obligation to the authorities of the Gray Herbarium. 



New London, Connecticut.
