180 Rhodora [AUGUST 
most distinet Dock is at Fort Popham, Phippsburg (Kate Furbish, 
September 14, 1907). 
PoLyconum Fow.ert Robinson. The southernmost known sta- 
tion for this species is at Cape Newagen, Southport, where the writer 
found it in August, 1894. In eastern Maine it is common on the 
strand and at edges of salt marshes and should be sought for at other 
points west of Penobscot Bay. 
PoLYGONELLA ARTICULATA (L.) Meisn. The northeastern limit 
of this characteristic plant of coastal sands seems to be at Fort Pop- 
ham, Phippsburg. 
CHENOPODIUM HUMILE Hook. In August, 1906, Miss Furbish 
sent to the Gray Herbarium a couple of plants of this species from a 
ditch at Brunswick. The station is the only one known in the East 
for this species which is ordinarily found in brackish or saline regions of 
the Northwest. 
ATRIPLEX PATULA L., var. LITTORALIS (L.) Gray, which is much 
less common than var. hastata, was collected by Miss Furbish at 
Foster's Point, West Bath, July 28, 1902. 
SUAEDA LINEARIS (Ell. Moq. is unknown in Maine from east of 
Brunswick. It was collected by Miss Furbish at Harding's in Sep- 
tember, 1899. 
ARENARIA GROENLANDICA (Retz.) Spreng. In the 2d edition of 
Gray's Manual this was reported from ‘‘Bath, Maine, on river-banks 
near the sea," but the original label in the Gray Herbarium of the 
plant collected by William Gambel reads: “rocks of the Ken[n]ebec 
near Bath.” In the Club Herbarium are specimens from Bath 
(Kate Furbish) and from a rocky bank at Cape Popham, Phippsburg 
(Fernald). It is probable that the Arenaria is to be found at other 
stations in the region. 
RANUNCULUS PENNSYLVANICUS L. f. There are no Maine specimens 
in the Club Herbarium from south of Brunswick, and its southern 
limit in Maine is probably in that region. 
POTENTILLA ANSERINA L. The typical pubescent plant (see 
Ruopona, xi. 8) which, as far as known, is confined in Maine to the 
valleys of the St. John, Penobscot, and Androscoggin Rivers, occurs 
at Topsham (Kate Furbish, 1870). 
Rosa ACICULARIS Lindl., var. BOURGEAUIANA Crépin. One of 
the few New England stations for this characteristic northern rose 
is at Foster's Point, West Bath, where it has many times been col- 
lected by Miss Furbish on “high land, on beach.”
