A SECOND VERMONT STATION FOR ARENARIA MACROPHYLLA. — 
Arenaria macrophylla was found by a road-side in the western part 
of Newfane, Vermont, on May 22d, in both bud and blossom. It 
was growing in coarse pebbly soil on the high bank which formed 
_the southern side of the road, consequently with not much direct 
sunshine, in the partial shade of low trees of various kinds. It was 
apparently well established and from the scattered plants in its 
locality of perhaps six feet square evidently spreading. — S. J. 
BALLARD, Newfane, Vt. 
ANAPHALIS MARGARITACEA, VAR. OCCIDENTALIS IN EASTERN AMER- 
ICA.— An abundant plant on some of the gravel bars of the Grand 
River, in Gaspé County, Quebec, is an 4zafAa/is with the lanceolate 
long-acuminate leaves bright green and glabrous above. In late 
June, 1904, when, with Messrs. Louis Cabot and George H. Richards, 
I examined the plant, it seemed very unlike the narrower-leaved plant 
with at least the young leaves tomentose above, the common Life 
Everlasting, Anaphalis margaritacea, of New England pastures. The 
Grand River plant was too immature for identification ; but recently 
Mr. Richards has brought me specimens, nearly in anthesis, collected 
in July, 1904. These prove to be the northwestern A. margaritacea, 
var. occidentalis, Greene, Fl. Fran. 399 (1897), described as “common 
among sand hills of the seaboard from at least middle California to 
Alaska.” This strongly marked variety is probably of somewhat 
broad range about the Gulf of St. Lawrence, for it was collected at 
Channel on the Newfoundland coast in 1901 (Howe & Lang, no. 
967).— M. L. Fernald, Gray Herbarium.
