1907 Harger,— An interesting Locality | 63 
of the mountain, east of the head of the pond, were found two small 
patches of Arenaria macrophylla Hook., the second station in the 
state. Mr. Bartlett's station (RHopoRa 7: 20) is five or six miles 
distant. Near the Arenaria grow Phegopteris Dryopteris Fée. and 
Stellaria borealis Bigelow, and a short distance south I found a quantity 
of Pyrus Americana DC. in full fruit, perhaps the most southerly 
station in the state. From the pond itself I collected Bidens Becku 
Torr., Potamogeton praelongus Wulf. and Heteranthera graminea 
Vahl., the last in good flower. By the roadside, perhaps one-fourth 
of a mile west, a colony of Cuphea viscossissima Jacq. reached the 
best development that I have noted in this state. 
As on the first trip I had only about two hours for exploration, the 
results seemed to justify another expedition, which was undertaken, 
in company with Prof. A. W. Evans, on May 30, 1906. On reaching 
the station noted above for Cuphea, we found a pool near by which 
was covered with a profusion of Hottonia inflata Ell. in flower. A 
little farther on in a small bog we found a few plants of Epilobium 
strictum Muhl., growing with a sedge, which later investigation 
showed to be Carex brunnescens (Pers.) Poir., and in cleared ground 
at the head of the pond, a quantity of Hieracium floribundum Wimm. 
&. Grab. a species which has only recently been reported from the 
state but seems to be spreading. After searching in vain for the 
Arenaria I climbed the cliff to the top of the mountain, while Prof. 
Evans searched for Hepaticae on the slopes. I was rewarded for the 
rather stiff climb by the discovery of Carex eburnea Boott, a species 
previously known from Connecticut only from the limestone region 
of Litchfield County and from the neighborhood of Southington. 
Later we found Lycopodium annotinum L., on the borders of a swamp 
a few hundred feet north of the pond, an extension of range south- 
easterly of some forty miles. Here were also Cornus Canadensis L. 
and Clematis verticillaris DC. After tracing the Polymnia some 
quarter of a mile northerly from the place where it was found in 
September, we left the locality. 
In addition to the plants noted above a peculiar gooseberry was 
found on the first expedition, which, after comparison at New Haven 
and at the Gray Herbarium, was thought to be Ribes lacustre Poir., 
and was so reported at the winter meeting of the Connecticut Botani- 
cal Society. On collection of flowers and young fruit it proved to be a 
form of R. oxyacanthoides L. peculiar in its almost spineless but
