1909] Stone,— A Form of Kalmia latifolia 199 
The last day, along the Rutland Railroad tracks a clump of perhaps 
a dozen plants of the low hop clover, Trifolium procumbens L., was 
found by myself. Mr. George L. Kirk later reported the finding of 
one plant of this clover in the lumber yards, on the same trip. 
Later in July, I found six good-sized plants of a western evening 
primrose, Oenothera serrulata Nutt., along the same track. ‘These 
two are plants new to the state. 
A new station for the meadow rue, Thalictrum confine Fernald, 
reported by Dr. J. A. Cushman from North Hero! and found at 
Gardner’s Island, Lake Champlain, by Mr. Kirk, was rediscovered at 
Burlington Bay the second day of September. Prof. M. L. Fernald, 
to whom I sent specimens, says, “It is singularly undeveloped for this 
season of the year. On the St. John and the St. Lawrence, it flowers 
in June and July and the fruit is usually too ripe to collect by the middle 
of August. It will be interesting to know whether it develops good 
fruit at this season of the year.” 
The latter part of September Gypsophila muralis L. and Sedum 
telephioides Michx. were found in Colchester. The first was abundant 
in what seemed to have been a garden or cultivated place and of the 
last one clump had escaped to the roadside. Both were growing in 
sandy soil.— NELLIE F. FLYNN, Burlington, Vermont. 
A REMARKABLE Form or KALMIA LATIFOLIA.— While returning 
from a botanical excursion with members of the Springfield Botanical 
Club in June, 1907, the writer with others noticed a curious form of 
Kalmia growing beside the road in Leverett not far from Mt. Toby. 
The corolla, instead of being of the customary saucer shape, was 
divided completely into five or more narrowly linear or in some cases 
even thread-shaped petals, giving the plant a unique appearance. 
Some years ago a similar plant was discovered by Miss Bryant at 
South Deerfield. These were submitted to Dr. Asa Gray, who de- 
scribed them under the title “Dialysis with Staminody in Kalmia 
latifolia,” in the American Naturalist, Vol. IV, pages 373 and 374, 
1871. 
Prof. C. S. Sargent, in “Garden and Forest," Vol. II, pages 452 and 
453, also describes and figures this curious monstrosity, which was 
procured from Deerfield and cultivated in the Arnold Arboretum.
