14 Rhodora [JANUARY 
A few days were spent early in September at Mt. Kineo. On the 
dry summit was Juncus tenuis Willd., var. Williamsii Fernald. On 
the cliffs, Aspidiwm fragrans (L.) Sw., Draba arabisans Michx., and 
Mentha arvensis L., var. glabrata (Benth.) Fernald. Arabis Drum- 
mondi Gray was abundant on both Mt. Kineo and Spencer Mt. 
The later part of September was given to a collecting trip on the Alla- 
gash and Upper St. John Rivers. Potamogeton perfoliatus L. was 
common in Churchill Lake, P. heterophyllus Schreb., forma longi- 
pedunculatus (Mérat.) Morong in Eagle Lake, and forma maaimus 
Morong in Long Lake. Viola labradorica Schrank was collected on 
an island in Eagle Lake, and on the shore of Umsaskis Lake Carex 
Crawfordii Fernald, var. vigens Fernald. 
On the St. John the commoner plants were collected: Halenia 
deflexa (Smith) Griseb., Hedysarum boreale Nutt., Salix pellita Anders., 
Viola novae-angliae House, &c. On one of the bluffs Rosa acicularis 
Lindl., var. Bourgeauiana Crepin was still in blossom. 
In one place where a brook came down the bank and spread out, 
a moist area with some grass had been developed among the rocks. 
Here were a few specimens of the rather rare Drosera linearis Goldie. 
The part of this brook back on the flat country above the river would 
be well worth investigating, as the bogs there are probably the source 
of the plants found on the river bank. Аз these plants were not 
discovered until late on our last day there, no further tracing of their 
source was possible.

A NEW HYBRID VIOLET. 
F. F. FORBES. 
WnirE studying Viola Brittoniana Pollard on Charles River Mead- 
ows, Dedham, Massachusetts in the fall of 1906, the writer observed 
a violet of rather unusual appearance. In the color and outline of the 
leaves it was much like V. /anceolata L., which grew plentifully at 
this station, but the habit was that of V. Brittoniana. 
The plant was transferred with care to the writer's violet bed in 
Brookline for further study. It survived the next winter and blos-
