1907] Knowlton,— New Stations for Massachusetts Plants 11 
miles inland from Long Island Sound, and just below the brow of a 
hill which rises to an elevation of five hundred feet above the sea level. 
Here in a sheltered, sunny location, along the base of a low cliff, the 
plant has found a congenial home and exhibits great vigor of growth, 
many of the racemes being fifteen inches in length. "The station 
follows the line of the cliff for several rods. > 
Hierochloe borealis, Roem. & Schultes. In Connecticut this is 
essentially a species of the coast, and it is seldom found elsewhere. 
It occurs, however, in several bogs and meadows in Franklin, and it is 
abundant in one of them. These stations are noteworthy from being 
twenty miles back from the coast, in a typical hill town. Specimens 
gathered here do not differ noticeably from those collected in saline 
situations. In Rnopona vi. 104, this species is reported from Wil- 
loughby, Vermont, where it is said to be rare. 
Eatonia Dudleyi, Vasey. 'lhis species appears to be better repre- 
sented in southern Connecticut than has been supposed to be the case. 
In Rxopora vii. 68, I called attention to its frequent occurrence about 
New Haven. It is equally frequent in southeastern Connecticut. 
` On several tramps last June through Franklin and adjacent towns, I 
found it in nearly every locality where one would naturally look for 
Eatonia, and it was often the prevailing species of this genus. It is 
not wholly confined to woodlands, for it grows in profusion in one 
place beside the New London Northern Railroad, where there is 
absolutely no shade, the trees having been cut away several years ago. 
‘The plants at this station are robust and very pubescent. 
Cuscuta compacta, Juss. This species grows along all the principal 
streams of Franklin, and is by no means rare here.— R. W. Woop- 
WARD, New Haven, Connecticut.

During the past season I have made many botanical excursions 
in various directions from Boston, with some very interesting results. 
Messrs. William P. Rich and H. A. Purdie have been my companions 
on several of these trips, and the plants mentioned below are all 
represented by specimens in my herbarium, while many are also in
