oblongifolius Fernald the typical R. Crista-Galli is readily distinguished 
by its numerous branches (in all but stunted or undeveloped plants), 
its lance-attenuate leaves, and the strong tendency to blacken in drying. 
GALIUM LABRADORICUM Wiegand, hitherto known in Maine only 
from the northern half of the state, was found in a sphagnous marsh 
near the edge of a salt marsh on the east side of Moose Island in 
Passamaquoddy Bay, Maine. ; 
GALIUM BOREALE L. A number of fine plants were found at the 
edge of a boggy meadow in Pembroke, Maine. 
ASTER RADULA Ait., var. STRICTUS (Pursh) Gray was found generally 
distributed on heaths and boggy swales in Lubec, Maine. It has 
formerly been known in Maine from Mt. Katahdin and from the Dead 
River and Rangeley regions. 
Iva XANTHIIFOLIA Nutt. Many plants three meters high were seen 
in a thicket with Solidago canadensis and other native species near 
the railroad station at New Limerick, Aroostook County, Maine. ‘The 
species seemed entirely at home, though presumably of recent intro- 
duction. 
BIDENS HYPERBOREA Greene, Pittonia iv. 257 (1901), discussed 
in more detail by Fernald in Ruopora x. 201 (1908), has been known 
only from James Bay and from brackish or saline mud at the estuaries 
of rivers of the Gaspé Peninsula, Quebec. In August it was found in 
brackish mud along Winnegance Creek, Phippsburg, Maine, thus 
extending its range from the north shore of the Baie des Chaleurs. 
MarricartA CHAMOMILLA L., var. CORONATA (J. Gay) Cosson & 
Germain, differing from the typical form of the species in having the 
pappus in the form of a broad dentate crown instead of obsolete, is an 
abundant weed of roadsides, waste-places, sea-strands, etc. in eastern- 
most Maine. ‘This plant, which has the delicious pine-apple fragrance 
of M. suaveolens, was seen in Maine in the towns of Eastport, Lubec, 
Trescott, Whiting, and Calais, and was afterward seen along the streets 
of St. John, New Brunswick. 
ARTEMISIA FRIGIDA Willd. Several clumps were seen in gravel 
about the yards of the Canadian Pacific Railway, Fairville, New 
Brunswick, though apparently not so thoroughly established as 4. 
LUDOVICIANA Nutt. 
ARTEMISIA PONTICA L., an old garden plant rarely flowering with 
us, is spreading to roadsides, railroad yards, etc., and should receive 
recognition in our manuals. It was found in considerable abundance
