described might lead to the rediscovery of this species at its type 

 locality. Eaton also mentions that it had been found later near 

 Worcester, Mass., and Middlebury, Vermont. At the latter locality 

 it was rediscovered by E. Brainerd in 1880 (Herb. Univ. Vermont). 



Lonicera oblotigifolium. Specimens under this name from Rhode 

 Island collected by W. W. Bailey near Olneyville proved to be the 

 European L. Xylosteum. 



Lonicera japonica, L, Morrowii, L. sempen'irens, L. tafarica, and 

 L. Xyloskum, also Symphoricarpus orbiculatus, Moench (.S". vulgaris, 

 Michaux) have been found escaped from cultivation and well estab- 

 lished. As several of them iiave maintained themselves for a con- 

 siderable time and are spreading and those which have been observed 

 but recently will in all probability do likewise, they ought not to be 

 omitted from an account of the Hora of New England. L. japonica 

 which is, according to Mr. C. H. Bissell, a not uncommon escape 

 along the coast of Connecticut was found last year also in Massa- 

 chusetts by Mr. L. A. Wentworth of Lynn who informs me that he 

 discovered at Essex a large number of plants of this species along a 

 roadside some distance from any habitation. 



Sambuais racemosa. The American plant is often considered a 

 distinct species, S. pubens Michaux {S. racefnosa, var. ptibens, 

 Koehne), chiefly distinguished by its pubescence from the glabrous 

 European type. 



Triosteum perfoliatum. This species seems to occur only in Con- 

 necticut ; all specimens from other states I have seen proved to be 

 T. aurantiacum. 



Viburnum alnifolium. From Rhode Island I have seen no speci- 

 men but one from S. F. Olney's herbarium (Herb. Brown Univ.) 

 As this had been collected probably about 60 years ago, the locality 

 may now possibly be obliterated. 



Viburnum nudutn has been found only in Connecticut. All speci- 

 mens from other states named V. nudum which I have seen, 

 belonged to V. cassinoides. 



Viburnum Opu/us. From the European type the American plant 

 differs chiefly in the open shallow groove and the smaller more 

 numerous glands of the petiole and in the orange red, not scarlet 

 fruit. It has been distinguished as V. americatium, Miller ( V. 

 Opulus, var. americanum, Alton) . 



Viburnum prunifo/ium. Besides the type there has been found in
