SrACHYS TENUIFOLIA Willd., var. AsPERA (Michx.) Fernald. A 
large clump of luxuriant plants was found by a small pond near the 
tracks of the Grand Trunk Railway, Portland, Maine; apparently 
the only station in the state. : 
ErsnorrziA PATRINI (Lepechin) Garcke. This fragrant plant 
which has been known as an established weed about Lake Temis- 
couata, Quebec since 1887, was found in abundance along the Bangor 
and Aroostook Railroad at New Limerick, Maine. Its appearance at 
New Limerick, more than one hundred miles south of Lake Temis- 
couata, indicates that it may be watched for with confidence along the

LINARIA MINOR (L.) Desf. occurs in great abundance about the yard 
of the Canadian Pacific Railway at Fairville New Brunswick. It
