66 Rhodora [March 



growth in the town of Ilolden, and on July 28 collected flowering 

 specimens. This was not near any house or cultivated land and had 

 MO evidence of being j)ut there by the hand of man. 



Polygomivi zuccarinii Small. A small clump has persisted near 

 the roadside on Stillwater Ave., town of Orono, for several years and 

 does not appear to be growing under conditions which would indicate 

 anybody planted It tliere. 



Conrivgia pcrfolidta T>ink. (Collected by me along tlie water front, 

 Bangor, July 4, 1904. 



Polygala paucijolia, forma albiflora. Whole plant much paler 

 than the typical form of this species and the blossoms white. This 

 albinistic form grows very abundantly in an extensive tract of open 

 woods and pasture land in Bangor, forming extensive carpets of plants 

 and bloom. A few plants of the normal form grow scattered through 

 the same territory. 



Mimnlus vioscliato.s Dougl. ]\Ir. F. M. Billings brought me a 

 plant of tliis species which he collected on ballast along the water 

 front, Bangor, July 2S, 1904. 



Teucrium boreale Bicknell. I collected a number of plants in bloom 

 which I took for our common Teucrium, and which were growing in a 

 meadow near Stillwater Avenue just within the limits of Orono, Au- 

 gust 10, 1904. Thinking them the common species I did not take so 

 many as I otherwise would have. Professor Fernald |)ronounces my 

 specimens to be as above. The same locality was closely watched 

 during 1905, and though hundreds of small plants were seen, only 

 two showetl bloom and these only a very few buds and flowers. The 

 previous year all the ])lants were tall, lusty and full of bloom. Can 

 it be that this species is biennial? 



Tragopogon porn' foil its L. I have a specimen collected in a field 

 in Stillwater (Oldtown), July 5, 1903, by Mr. Billings. 



Tragopogon pratrns-i.s' Jj. I have specimens from both Orono and 

 Bangor. The Bangor plants are well established along a roadside 

 within the residential portion of the city and have been persistent for 

 several years. 



Lyclmis fos-cundi Fy. Though not growing in the Penobscot val- 

 ley this seems good opportunity to record finding this species not far 

 distant in the town of Pittsfield. It has been established several 

 years and when I saw it in June, 1905, covered many acres of fields 

 with a mass of bloom. 

 Bangor, Maine.
