A Teucrium NEW TO Massacnuserts.— While botanizing on 
Cape Ann, Massachusetts, last September I noted with particular 
interest a species of Teucriwm established a short distance east of 
Rockport very close to the shore. ‘The plant was subsequently identi- 
fied by Prof. M. L. Fernald as Teucrium occidentale Gray, var. boreale 
(Bicknell) Fernald. ‘The colony comprised possibly 6 or 8 individual 
plants in various stages of maturity. Several were even then in full 
flower while others with mature spikes illustrated the characters in 
the calyx-lobes very plainly. The record seems of interest in that it 
extends the known range of the plant quite appreciably to the east 
and south.— Epwin B. Bartram, Wayne, Ра.
