22 ' Rhodora " [FEBRUARY 
L., var. depressa Pursh. On April 23, 1908, Mr. Philbrook discovered 
a specimen of this shrub in a patch of open woods adjoining his farm 
about 20 meters above the intervale. ‘The plant was about 3 meters 
in diameter and was full of fruit. Mr. Philbrook sent me a specimen 
at the time, and later I visited the place and secured additional material. 
On October 13, but a few minutes’ walk from this Juniper and in the 
same open wood, a second specimen was discovered by a party of us 
who were out for a tramp. It was a little smaller than the first one but 
bore fruit. These two Junipers and three Pitch Pines constitute at 
present the only known records for Coos County though, considering 
the known range of the two species and the fact that there are plenty 
of situations congenial to them, it seems hardly possible that addi- 
tional ones should not be found. 
On May 29, 1903, I discovered Camelina microcarpa Andrz. in a 
grassy field in Shelburne, and on July 14, 1908, I found by the railroad 
station the same species, together with Erysimum cheiranthoides L. 
and Sisymbrium altissimum L., all in close proximity and in flourishing 
condition. ‘These introductions are now quite widely spread over 
New England. 
Pentsetmon laevigatus Ait. appeared in Shelburne in June, 1908. 
It was discovered by Miss Louise Davenport in the intervale of the 
Philbrook Farm, growing among the short grass, some 300 meters 
from the house. ‘There were at least eight plants covering an extent 
of about one fifth of a hectare, each specimen about 30 meters from its 
nearest neighbors. ‘The plants were all in good flower though the 
soil, owing to the extreme drought, was very dry. I visited the place 
on July 3 and examined the location. I have in my herbarium speci- 
mens of all these herbaceous species.
