32 Rhodora [FEBRUARY 
PYCNANTHEMUM TorREI Benth. Dry rocky woods, New Haven 
(R. W. Woodward & C. H. Bissell). Not before reported from the 
state. 
VERONICA ANAGALLIS-AQUATICA L. Moist ground along railroad 
in a little cut near the Canaan railroad station, North Canaan (C. A. 
Weatherby). Mr. Weatherby collected this in the fall of 1909, when 
the plant was in too poor condition to furnish good material, but 
determined it as above. In the summer of 1910 Dr. E. L. Greene, 
not knowing of Mr. Weatherby’s collection, discovered the same local- 
ity. Dr. Greene informs me that he does not find any European 
specimens that exactly match his material but there seems to be no 
other name for our plant at present. There was an old report of this 
species from East Hartford but this was later proved to be an error. 
The North Canaan locality is thus the only one in the state for this 
species. 
MITCHELLA REPENS L., forma leucocarpa, f. nov., fructu laete 
albo, ceteris formae typicae simillima.— Collected in Cornwall, Con- 
necticut, during the past summer by Miss M. J. Whitney. In the 
Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical Club iii. 43 (1872) there appeared 
(over the initials S. W. A.) a note recording the discovery of a white- 
berried form of Mitchella at Canaan, Connecticut. Miss Whitney 
to whom I am indebted for specimens states that she has known of a 
colony for several years which always has white fruit. As it is evident 
that the form has perpetuated itself or at least has persisted for a 
considerable time, it seems worthy of a name.! 
SOLIDAGO CANADENSIS L. Alluvial soil along Farmington River, 
New Hartford, (C. H. Bissell). This is the second reported locality 
for this species in the state, the other being Selden’s Cove, Lyme. 
AsTER LOWRIEANUS Porter. Rocky woods, Cheshire (4. E. 
Blewitt & C. H. Bissell). Many plants including some of the var. 
LANCEOLATUS Porter and also intermediate forms.

Fl. Essex Co., Mass., 60 (1880); Britton, Bull. Torr. Bot. Club, viii. 111 (1881), 
where the plant is recorded from Moravia, Cayuga Co., New York (Dr. Charles 
Atwood); Gray, Syn. Fl. i. pt. 2, 31 (1884); Dame & Collins, Fl. Middlesex Co., 
Mass., 45 (1888); and Britton, Bull. Torr. Bot. Club, xvi. 196 (1889), where the 
form is reported from Stow, Massachusetts (4. W. Hosmer). In the Gray Herbarium 
there are white-fruited specimens from Moravia, New York, Dr. M. F. Merchant; 
Keene, New Hampshire, Eliza J. C. Gilbert, and York, Pennsylvania, Miss Kate 
Fisher Kurtz, a collection mentioned by Thomas Meehan (Monthly, iii. 50, 1893) 
and incorrectly stated to have been the original discovery of the form.— Ed.]
