NEW STATIONS FOR MAINE PLANTS. 

 Edward B. Chamberlain. 



During the past few years several plants have come to my notice 

 whose distribution in Maine or in New England seems to warrant 

 calling attention to them here. Specimens of all the species here 

 noted are in my own herbarium ; and in almost all cases there are 

 duplicates in the Gray Herbarium, or in the Herbarium of the New 

 England Botanical Club. 



Carex alopecoidca, Tuck. — On alluvial banks at Vassalboro, Ken- 

 nebec Co., Maine, collected July 3, 1902. This is the first station in 

 New England outside of the Champlain valley. 



Carex grisea, Wahl. — Growing with the preceding species at 

 Vassalboro. Previously reported in Maine only from Waterville. 



Carex Hoiightonii, Torr. — Roadside in Falmouth, a very limited 

 station. 



Carex polymorp ha, Muhl. — This rare and local sedge was found by 

 the writer and Mr. C. H. Bissell in July, 1902, while botanizing near 

 Underwood Springs in Falmouth. Since then the plant has also 

 been found in Cumberland. These stations extend the range con- 

 siderably from the station at Wells, where it was collected by the 

 Rev. Joseph Blake. 



Carex vestita, Willd. — Brunswick, Maine, in a sand pit, collected 

 by the writer in 1898. Previously reported from North Berwick by 

 Mr. J. C. Parlin,in the second Supplement to the Portland Catalogue 

 of Maine Plants. 



Scirp/is />e///i-e//a/us,¥GTna\d. — Specimens were collected at Cum- 

 berland in September, 1902, and determined by Mr. Fernald. 

 Apparently the plant has not been reported from Maine before. 



Carya alba^ Nutt. — Rather common in some parts of Falmouth, 

 Cumberland and North Yarmouth, especially in the localities known 

 as Bruce Hill and Presumpscot Gorge. There is also a specimen in 

 my herbarium collected in woods at Turner, Maine, June 27, 1897. 

 by John E. Dinsmore. These stations extend northward the range 

 given in F)ame and Brooks, " Handbook of the Trees of New Eng- 

 land," p. 49. 



Kanunculus ambigens^'$>. Wats. — Abundant in a muddy ditch at
