100 Rhodora [May 
In June, 1904, the writer also had the pleasure of finding the 
plant in Pownal, in the State of Vermont. It was growing in rich 
low woods along the bank of a brook near the Hoosac River. Al- 
though on opposite sides of the line between the two States the two 
stations are not many miles apart. The town of Pownal is in the 
southwest corner of Vermont, and the discovery of this Waterleaf 
there confirms also the indefinite report of its collection in that part 
of the State by Robbins, in Thompson's History of Vermont, 1842, 
p. 192,' and the Canadian Waterleaf may now be definitely credited 
to the flora of both Massachusetts and Vermont on the authority of 
herbarium specimens. 
Associated with the Waterleaf in the alluvial soil of the glen were 
Goldie's Fern (Aspidium Goldianum) and the Narrow Spleenwort 
(Asplenium angustifolium) ferns which are only “occasional ” in the 
Vermont flora, and they made an attractive setting for the novel 
jewel in their midst. 
In Vermont also, and new to the recently published List, are two 
Sedges. The first, Carex trichocarpa, Muhl., which is frequent along 
the Hoosac River in Williamstown, I traced down the river north- 
ward into Pownal, where it was growing in wet places, less abun- 
dantly than above. It is doubtless scattered along the river-bank 
still farther down. 
Broad Brook is a beautiful stream which flows from the Green 
Hills of Pownal to the sluggish and muddy Hoosac. It was in rocky 
woods far up this brook that I found Carex aestivalis, M. A. Curtis. 
Specimens from both these collections are in my herbarium and 
President Brainerd of Middlebury has duplicates of the latter. —
