1904] Tilton, — An Addition to the Fern-flora of Vermont 235 



Some Noteworthy Plants of Maine. — On Sept. 7, 1902, a 

 single root of SoHdago asperula, Desf., with two or three stems was 

 found within the limits of Portland. Apparently it has not persisted, 

 as the locality was visited last year and again this year, but the plant 

 could not be found. 



Centaurea nigra, L., is abundant on Long Island in Casco Bay ex- 

 tending over a large area. 



Senecio Jacobaea, L., which Judge Churchill found common on 

 Prince Edward Island and working its way southward through the 

 Provinces (Rhodora, iv, 34), was discovered three years ago in the 

 Deering district, and though still growing freely it does not appear to 

 be spreading, 



Coronilla varia, L. I collected this summer at South Freeport, 

 where it is thoroughly established, having overrun an old garden lot 

 and extended to the adjacent roadsides. This is probably the third 

 station for this plant in the State. 



Aniiim tricocaun, Ait., abundant on Eagle Island, Casco Bay. 



Veronica Chamaedrys, L., has recently been received from Mr. M. 

 H. Briant, West Buxton, who states that it has been growing freely 

 there in grass land for twelve years or more. 



Other plants I mention which have been collected in Portland the 

 present season, are : Thiaspi amense, L., Sisymbrium Sophia, L., 

 Saponaria Vaccaria, L. 



I wish also to report /uncus oronensis, Fernald from Allaguash 

 River, northern Aroostook, seen by Mr. Fernald in my herbarium. 

 This, as he sug^jests, establishes an extension of range for this spe- 

 cies. — Dana W. Fellows, Portland, Maine. 



An Addition to the Fern-flora of Vermont. — Botrychium 

 Lunar ia^'S^'N., is new to the listed flora of Vermont. I found a specimen 

 of it at Willoughby Lake last August. It grew in an upland field, at 

 the foot of a high wooded pasture, which extended back to the cliffs. 

 I was looking for Ophioglossum vulgatum, L., which I found in abun- 

 dance, but nearly all had been decapitated by the scythe. In the 

 same field grew also Botrychium obliquum, Muhl., and B. dissectum, 

 Spreng. I might mention too Senecio Robbinsii, Oakes, as a very 

 common plant growing here and in all the fields and pastures round
