1899] Averill, — Rarer plants of Connecticut 39 
now comprises nearly 12,000 sheets of well mounted and carefully 
identified phanerogamous plants and a large and valuable cryptogamic 
collection, which is not yet fully classified. The club has undertaken 
the preparation of a critical check-list of the New England plants and 
a card catalogue of plant stations is now under way. 
Many facilities have been provided by the club for members and 
the meetings are always anticipated with interest and largely attended. 
It has been the aim of the club to make its advantages readily attain- 
able and therefore the fees have been made merely nominal, the various 
undertakings of the club being supported by voluntary subscriptions. 
STATIONS FOR SOME OF THE RARER PLANTS OF 
CONNECTICUT. 
C. K. AvERILL. 
Asplenium Ruta-muraria L. New Milford on limestone cliffs and 
ledges, not rare. 
Panicum barbulatum Michx. In woods and thickets, Stratford. 
Streptopus roseus Michx. New Milford, not common. 
Populus monilifera Ait. In the Housatonic Valley at Falls Village, 
Lime Rock, Newtown ; Abundant at Ansonia on the Naugatuck River, 
about two miles from its confluence with the Housatonic. 
Populus balsamifera L. I was surprised to see this tree so far south 
of its known range, growing along the west bank cf the Housatonic River 
in New Milford, for a distance of a mile or more, where it was shown 
me by Mr. E. H. Austin. 
Claytonia Caroliniana Michx. New Milford, found by Mr. E. H. 
Austin, rare. 
Arenaria Michauxt Hook. New Milford, on dry banks, rare. 
Hesperis matronalis L. Bridgeport by roadside. 
Tiarella cordifolia L. Kent, rare. 
Prunus Americana Marsh. I have found this small tree in only 
two places, New Milford and Munroe. Since it is very conspicuous 
in time of flower I conclude that it is rather rare in western Con- 
necticut. 
Ptelea trifohata L. One tall shrub found at Ansonia on meadows 
adjoining the Naugatuck River.
