1899] Fernald, — Antennarias of northern New England 71 
posed promontory like Nahant, or an island like Monhegan, but seems 
singularly out of place in a landlocked bay. No similar colony has 
been found within many miles, and we must conclude that the rush and 
fall of the water over the rocks gives conditions so like those of the 
surf-beaten shores, that the plants whose home is in the latter, find 
themselves quite comfortable in the fórmer. 
As the conditions are largely artificial, it is probable that the colony 
is of comparatively recent origin, but there is no difficulty in supposing 
that spores are continually carried up and down by the tide, only the 
lack of suitable conditions preventing their obtaining a foothold in other 
localities. 
SOME ANTENNARIAS OF NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND. 
M. L. FERNALD. 
Tue synopsis of The Genus Antennaria in New England * pub- 
lished by me some months ago might more appropriately have been 
called * The Genus Antennaria in Central and Southern New England," 
for, at that time, little was known of the species in the extreme northern 
portions of these states. During the past June and July, however, col- 
lections were made by Dr. George G. Kennedy, Mr. Emile F. Williams, 
and others about Willoughby, Vermont, and in the White Mountains ; 
and in June by the author in central and northern Maine. ‘The obser- 
vations then made show that in a large portion of Maine, New Hamp- 
shire, and Vermont, the genus Antennaria is represented largely by 
species uncommon or wanting in southern New England ; and, further- 
more, that the species commonest about Boston and Providence are 
rare or quite unknown in our more northern sections. 
The range of Antennaria Parlini has been extended slightly north 
of its formerly recorded limit. This plant was found in June in the 
Piscataquis valley (Maine), by a woodland stream in Foxcroft ; and the 
large-leaved var. ambigens was collected on the gravelly wooded esker 
by the Penobscot in Orono. 
Antennaria neglecta, the commonest species in southern New 
England, is rare in central Maine, and, though detected at various 
stations, even to the extreme northern boundary of the state, it is cer- 
tainly an unusual plant north of Bangor.
