and often far from dwellings. Britton and Brown (Ill. Fl. I, 419) 
state that bulblets are produced in the axils of the upper leaves. 
The plants of this locality, on August 7, were bearing bulblets in 
leaves halfway down the stem, and not rarely still lower. 
Tanacetum vulgare, L., var. crispum, DC. — Already credited to 
the state by Bennett. It grows more abundantly at Limerock, Lin- 
coln, than does the typical species ; in fact, about the quarries I had 
difficulty in finding the typical form. 
Spiraea sorbifolia, L. — Occurs in Lincoln, in a meadow east of 
Butterfly Factory. It was originally planted, but has spread under 
a stone wall into the meadow, and persists after five years of autum- 
nal mowing. 
Ornithogalum umbellatum, L. — Occurs in Lincoln about Butterfly 
Factory, in ditches by the roadside, and in meadows, though rarely 
blossoming in the latter situation where cropped by cattle. 
Sedum acre, L.— Reported in past years by Prof. Bailey from 
Butterfly Factory, Lincoln. It now extends for over a mile west- 
ward, and at least two miles northward, to the east also over a mile, 
on stone walls, ledges, and in meadows far from the road. 
| Finca minor, L. — Established in ditches along roadsides, and on 
rocky banks, between Butterfly Factory and Limerock, Lincoln. A 
very common creeper. Mr. R. L. Bowen reports it from Coventry, 
where a few roots, originally planted by children about a play house 
in open woods, have made a colony over ten feet across. The spe- 
cies has not been credited to our state by Mr. E. F. Williams (Rho- 
DORA, IV, 17). It evidently has gained a firm foothold in Lincoln. 
Trillium erythrocarpum, Michx. — I collected a specimen of this 
on May 21 in Gloucester which possessed two stems proceeding from 
the same corm. Furthermore, on the flower of one of the two twin- 
stems, one of the sepals was enlarged to a length five-sixths that 
of the ordinary leaves, the shape of this sepal also approximating 
that of a leaf, rather than that of a sepal. While at Rowe Pond, 
Somerset Co., Maine, about July r, with Mr. J. F. Collins, I noticed 
that twin-stems from a corm of this species were the rule. Obser- 
vations which I made showed that about fourteen out of nineteen 
plants had them. As far as I could determine from the withered, 
persistent sepals, however, there was no approach to phyllody.
