Bristol and elsewhere; generally in situations suggestive of artificial 
planting. On Conanicut Island, however, it seems to be spreading 
spontaneously. 
Euonymus atropurpureus, Jacq. Escaped in several places. 
Apparently not spreading. 
Lechea minor, L. Sandy soil. 
Viola ovata, Nutt. This hairy, ovate-leaved habitant of the fields 
and drier woods appears to be the common form, in northern R. I., of 
what has generally passed as V. sagittata, Ait. 
Calluna vulgaris, Salisb. Great Swamp, Washington County (G. 
W. Burlingame). 
Phlox paniculata, L. Escaped along roadsides, N. Kingstown 
( F- T. Smith), N. Providence, and Conanicut Island ( F. F. C.). 
Galium trifidum pusillum, Gray. This variety seems to be quite 
generally distributed in the swamps and wet localities of northern R. I. 
Solidago sempervirens, L. Recorded by Mr. Olney in 1844, but 
accidentally overlooked by Mr. Bennett in 1888. It is the commonest 
seaside golden-rod in the state. 
Nine species and seven varieties of An/ennaria are now recognized 
as occurring in New England. Of these the five following have been 
collected about Providence." 
A. plantaginea, R. Br. Common.
