34 Rhodora [February 



triquetrous, one nerve or angle more prominent than the other two, 

 <-r()wded at base, faseicuhite, all but the uppermost exeeeding the 

 internodes: inflorescence l-12-Ho\vered, usually paniculate, the pedi- 

 cels rigid and strongly asceiuhng: calyx 3-4.5 mm. long; the narrow- 

 ovate subulate-tipi)ed sej)als strongly 8-ribbed, glabrous, granular-

 — Quebec, sandy and gravelly beach of the Bale des Chaleurs, Trac- 

 adigash Point, Carletou, July 22, 1904 (Coll ins & Fernald), July 19, 

 1905 {Collim & Fernald, no. 81. Williams): Ontario, shore of 

 Lake Superior {C. 0. Loriucj); Peninsula Harbor, Lake Superior, 

 October 9, 1890 (G. S. Miller, Jr.). Nearest related to A. .sirirta 

 Michx. which has the longer more bristle-like stiffer leaves extending 

 in remote fascicles nearly or quite to the inflorescence, the petals 

 twice as long as the se])als, which are themselves longer than the 

 mature capsule. It is probable that Pursh's.l. jnniperiva (not ^. 

 juniper ilia L.) from Newfoundland and Labrador is, judging from 

 his description, similar"to the plant of the Baie des Chaleurs.

NOTES ON NEW ENGLAND IIEPATICAE,— IV. 

 Alexander \V. Evans. 



During the past yviir very few additions have been made to the 

 hepatic flora of New England by the exploration of new localities, 

 and most of the additions which are noted below have come to light 

 through the study of old material. Attention is also called to several 

 species which should aj)[)arently be reduced to synonymy. With 

 the exception of Frullania elxrraeensis all of the species mentioned 

 are common to Euro])e.
