Specimens of so-called Veronica agrestis, L., in the Herbarium of 
the New England Botanical Club, from Reading, Massachusetts, 
have been found to be V. Buxbaumii, Ten., and reports of V. agrestis 
from New England appear to be without foundation. 
Of Veronica Anagallis, L., the writer has seen a specimen from 
Tinmouth, Vermont, where it was discovered by Mr. W. W. Eggleston. : 
There is also a specimen in the Gray Herbarium collected many 
years ago by Oakes at Ipswich, Massachusetts. This station is now 
extinct or at least unknown, but the plant is reported from Berkshire 
County by Mr. Ralph Hoffmann. The species has been recorded 
from other New England States in various local catalogues, but the 
writer after much inquiry has been unable to verify these reports 
and is inclined to suspect that the habitally similar V. americana is 
frequently mistaken for V. Anagallis. The latter species must be 
very rare in New England. 
I have been unable to verify the occurrence in New England of the 
following species reported in divers local catalogues of reliable char- 
acter, and it has seemed best to omit them from this list, for even if 
they have been correctly identified they must in most, if not all 
instances, form only casual and transient features in the New England 
flora.

WHITE FORM OF SABBATIA CHLOROIDES.— A white form of Sabba- 
tia chloroides, Pursh, grows on the borders of a pond in East Wey- 
mouth, which seems remarkable in that there are hundreds of the 
plants none of which show the slightest tinge of pink in the flowers. 
No typical pink flowers can be found nearer than at a pond in South
