Additional Notks krom Wii.i.our.HBV. — Willoughby has its sur- 

 prises even for one who has studied its Flora carefully, and in the 

 last ten days of the present month I have collected some new plants 

 and fovmd stations for other rare ones and I therefore print this note. 



Equisetum pratense, Klirli. In wcl pasture land, hy the edge of woods, very 

 near the Hotel. Tiiis plant as noted hy Eaton (Riiodoka, vi. 92) is rare 

 in New Englanil, having heen foimd only in the Kennehec valley, Maine ; 

 and its occurrence at Willonghhy is an interesting extension of range. 

 Only sterile plants were found, but in considerable quantilv and it may 

 have been overlookeil by summer botanists in the luxuriant growth of 

 terns and grasses. The rough ridges of the stem thickly set with line 

 spicula under a tens are so different from other New lingland l':quiseta 

 as to render its identification comparatively easy. 



Carex deflexa, Ilornem., var. Deanei, Hailej. On the beach at south end of 

 the lake. 



Rosa riNNAMOMEA, L. Grows in wild abundance in pasture by an old 

 cellar wall. 



A'osa bhifida. Ait., which is very smooth without prickles when 

 •^rowing on the slides, shows frequent spines and prickles when 

 gatliered on the Lake roadside. 



Carcx I'dginata, Tausch, found by Pringle, and Smiladna tri/o/ia, 

 Desf., collected by Churchill, and both plants unsuccessfully .sought 

 for by other botanists, were found growing in a cedar swamp, quite 

 near the original stations below the Four Bridges.— (ieorge G. ,
