the river in wet arbor-vitae swamps were found Alicrostylis niono- 

 phyllos^ Lindl., and Luzula parviffora, Desv. In rich alluvial woods 

 grew Pyrolh asar/folia, Michx.; in the upland evergreen woods Pyrola 

 fninor, L. and occasionally Goodyera Mcnziesii^ Lindl. (very scarce), 

 and Gcnm macrophyllum, Willd. Thlaspi arvense L. was frequent in 

 barnyards. 



There are fourteen plants previously known as occurring in the 

 St. John Valley but not reported in the Portland Catalogue, which 

 are worthy of special mention. Possibly the most conspicuous of 

 this group is Oxytropis campestris\ v^x. Joka?tnensis, Fernald, growing 

 everywhere on the rocky beaches. On these beaches, also, Saltx 

 glaucophylla, Bebb, and S. pel/ita, Anders., and on the wet gravelly 

 shores Calatnagrostis neglecia, Trin., grow in great abundance. Poa 

 glaiica, L., and Carcx vcsicaria^ var. Paeana, Fernald, are more scat- 

 tered on the river banks. The latter plant has been previously 

 known only from Methaye Lake, Athabaska, Lake St. John, Que- 

 bec, and the Rangeley Lakes, Maine. Equisetum pratcnse, Ehrh., 

 abounds in alluvial woods; and Lycopodium comp/anatum, L. (true), 

 L. Site h ens c, Rupr., and L. sabinaefolium, Willd., grow in the upland 

 evergreen forest. Vero)uca serpyi/ifo/ia, L., var. borealis, Laest., in 

 springy spots, and GtiapJtaliiini syh'aticiim, L., in sterile soil, are both 

 rather common. Pistera aiiriculata, Wiegand, somewhat rare, is 

 apparently found only in sandy alluvium. Viola Labradorica, 

 Schrank (true), found on ledges, has been previously known in Maine 

 from various stations in the St. John Valley and from the cliffs of 

 Mt. Katahdin. 



Two plants new to the State may be credited to the explorations 

 of this time. One is Osmorrhiza divaricata^ Nutt., local in rich 

 upland woods, a Rocky Mountain species first found in the East 

 at Riviere du Loup, Quebec, by E. F. Williams and M. L. Fernald 

 in 1902. The other plant is Rquisetum variegatum, var. Jcsupi, 

 A. A. Eaton, found on gravelly shores. 



A new station for Anemone riparia, Fernald, A. miiitijida, Poir. 

 Erigeron hyssopifoliiis, Michx., and Cynoglossum Virginicuni, L., was 

 found by a small party who remained longer in this region.
