228 Rhodora [November 



I detected a slight musky odor, and again got just a faint whifF of 

 musk when at my journey's end I looked at the carefully cherished 

 specimen only to find a black and wilted plant without corolla. 

 Taking the same drive in August, 1904, I looked eagerly to see if 

 this apparently tender plant had survived the rigors of two New 

 England winters. I found the way-side spring and caught the gleam 

 of small yellow flowers near it. Mhnulus moschatus was in fine con- 

 dition ; its ascending stems were well filled with buds and blossoms, 

 while other creeping stems by rooting at their joints in the springy 

 soil of the bank, had extended the colony to the roadside, where, in 

 the black ooze of the gutter, the plant had also established itself. So 

 far as I have learned the species has been hjtherto reported from 

 only two of the New England states, Vermont and Connecticut. —

SuBUi.ARiA AT East Andover, New HAMPSHIRE. — The Writer, 

 while fishing in Highland Lake, recently discovered growing on the 

 sandy bottom a small plant, which on investigation seemed to be the 

 little awl wort, Subuhiria aquatica, L. Knowing this plant to be 

 recorded from only two stations in New Hampshire, and wishing to 

 remove any question regarding its occurrence here, the writer sent 

 specimens to Mr. M. L. Fernald of the Gray Herbarium, who verified 

 the identification. As it is always of interest to the plant-lover to 

 learn of a new station for a rare plant, the writer takes pleasure in 

 informing the readers of Rhodora of this station. On investigation 

 the plant was found growing abundantly in suitable places all around 

 the Lake. — George W. Holt, East Andover, New Hampshire.
