on this excursion; the latter being the common species on the moun- 
tain. Lycopodium clavatum monostachyon Grev. & Hook. was found 
along the roadside in the Notch. Ма ит effusum L., Luzula parvi- 
flora (Ehrh.) Desv., Amelanchier oligocarpa (Michx.) Roem. and 
Rubus Canadensis L. were also found near the summit of the mountain. 
The flora of Mt. Greylock, although 3505 feet above sea level, is poorer 
in mountain plants than one would expect: but the lichen flora is very 
rich, especially in those species found on the trunks of balsam fir, 
mountain ash, birch and other hardwood trees.

STELLARIA AQUATICA IN VERMONT.— In a note on the preliminary 
list of the Caryophyllaceae of New England, Ruopora V. 190, it is 
stated that “the sole basis for the report Stellaria aquatica Scop. in 
New England is a single but unmistakable specimen collected near the 
Boston & Albany Railway at Newtonville, Mass., July 28, 1881, by 
C. J. Sprague.” І can report another and more prolific station located 
in southwestern Vermont at North Pownal. ‘his station, also, is 
near a railway, the Boston & Maine, and extends along both banks of 
the Hoosac river for a mile or more. I collected the species here 
Sept. 17, 1907. It occurs in alluvial soil, in partial shade, and is. 
very abundant in places. The Stellarias from this locality are re- 
markable for their length. I measured several whose main stems 
were over two meters long and saw others which I estimated to be even 
longer. As they branch freely, they may extend nearly an equal 
distance laterally, and a single plant can, under favorable conditions, 
spread out over a considerable area. Specimens have been deposited 
in the Gray Herbarium and in the Herbarium of the University, of 
Vermont.— R. W. Woopwarp, New Haven, Connecticut.
