1904] Hoffmann, — Flora of Berkshire County 205 



but they know nothing of its introduction. It has been collected at 

 Portland, Maine, and in New Bedford, Massachusetts. 



Epilobiutn liiicare, Muhl., var. o/iganf/iiim, Trelease. Grows in a 

 sphagnum bog in Sheffield. This northern form lias been reported 

 from Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont and has been collected 

 by Mr. R. G. Leavitt in North Easton, Massachusetts. 



Gaura biennis, L. In 1895 I collected a plant of Gaura in a mow- 

 ing field in the Notch, North Adams, and in 1904 I found another 

 plant in a dry field near the Housatonic River in Lee. In I^ishop's 

 Connecticut list (p. 39) it is reported as "becoming frequent." 



Angelica hirsuta, Muhl. Grows in rocky woodland on the south 

 slope of Monument Mountain in the town of Great Harrington. It 

 is reported freciuent in Connecticut but has not I:)een recorded for 

 Massachusetts. 



Pyrola secunda, L., var. putnila, Gray. Occurs in Stoclcbridge in 

 sphagnum near thickets of Sa/ix serissima, Fernald. It has been 

 previously reported from northern Maine, Vermont, New York and 

 westward, but not, so far as I know, from Massachusetts. 



Hydrophyllnm Canadense, L. In Eaton's Manual of Botany (cd. 

 3, p. 311) this plant is recorded from Williamstown, but it was 

 apparently not discovered by later collectors in that region.. In 

 1899 ^ found it along a brook that flows down the northern side of 

 Greylock, crosses the road from the Notch to WilHamstown and flows 

 into the fioosac near Blackinton (vid. Deane, Rhodgra, vi, 155). 

 On a second visit this summer, I found the plant common in tlie 

 ricli soil bordering the brook. The plant should be looked for on 

 other portions of the mountain. 



Verbena angustifolia^ Michx. Collected in Egremont in 1902. It 

 has been previously recorded from South Hadley by Hitchcock and 

 from Amherst by Clark (Cobb's Plants of Amherst, p. 16). It has 

 recently been added to the Vermont list (Rhodgra, vi, 142). 



Veronica Anaga/bis, L. Occurs in wet brooks in Stockbridge and 

 Sheffield. This western species is recorded from two stations in Ver- 

 mont, and there is a specimen in the Gray Herbarium collected by 

 Oakes in Ipswich, Massachusetts, but it has not, so far as is known, 

 been again collected in Eastern Massachusetts. 



Veronica Virginica, L. Grows in alluvial soil in Stockbridge and in 

 Sheffield. It is common from Connecticut southward, but there are 

 no specimens in the Gray Herbarium from Massachusetts or north- 

 ward.
