40 Rhodora [FEBRUARY 
Polygala Senega L. New Milford, a few plants found. 
Acer dasycarpum, Ehr. Occurs in several places on the banks of 
the Housatonic, from New Milford up into Massachusetts. 
Negundo aceroides, Moench. On the banks of the Housatonic 
River at New Milford, Cornwall Bridge, and Lime Rock Stations. 
Kalmia glauca Ait. Spectacle Ponds, Kent. 
Lysimachia thyrsiflora L. Growing plentifully on southwest shore 
of Hatch Pond, Kent. 
Fraxinus sambucifolía Lam. Usually rated as rare in Connecticut, 
but is common in the towns of New Milford and Kent. I have found 
it also at Trumbull and in Stratford. 
Pentstemon laevigatus Solander. Roxbury, a few plants. 
Galium boreale L. New Milford and Kent, not rare. 
Lobelia Kalmit L. New Milford on wet limestone ledges. 
GOODYERA REPENS, VAR. OPHIOIDES, IN CONNECTICUT.—In Mr. Fer- 
nald’s recent revision of the Goodyeras of New England G. repens, 
var. ophioides, Fernald, is not reported from Connecticut. However, 
I have collected this newly recognized variety here at Southington, 
although in a habitat quite different from that which Mr. Fernald 
reports as usual. 
In dry woods on the top of one of our trap-rock hills are several 
large, flat boulders. The upper faces of these are a little above the 
surrounding soil. Inthe thin crust of soil and humus, gathered in the 
crevises and depressions of these rocks, grows this little Goodyera. It 
is well shaded, but otherwise the plant could hardly find a drier loca- 
tion. The time, when it was collected in flower (August 11th), was 
a little later than the flowering season as given by Mr. Fernald.—C. H. 
BissELL, Southington, Conn. 
OwING to some irregularities in the postal service (due, doubtless, to 
the exceptionally heavy mails of the New Year season), many copies 
of our first issue, although promptly posted, were greatly delayed, and 
others lost, in transportation. Every subscriber, who has not received 
the January number of RHODORA, can obtain it on application to E. L. 
Rand, 740 Exchange Building, or W. P. Rich, 3 No. Market Street, 
Boston, Mass., or to the Preston & Rounds Co., Providence, R. I. 
Vol.-1, No. 1, including pages 1 to 20 and plates 1 and 2, was issued 
January 2, 1899.
