ANTHYLLIS VULNERARIA AT CROMWELL, CONNECTICUT.— I am 
glad to record the occurrence of Anthyllis Vulneraria L. (Kidney 
Vetch) along a roadside in the town of Cromwell, Connecticut. It 
was first noticed on June 20, 1910, and again on June 10,1911. The 
plant is decidedly rare in America and its presence in this locality is 
due, no doubt, to the neighborhood of the extensive greenhouses of 
Mr. A. N. Pierson, who is a large importer of plants and bulbs. Often 
at the close of the season the old potting soil is scattered on the land. 
There are several roots of the Anthyllis and it is hoped that it will 
continue to thrive in this locality — FLORENCE C. HUBBARD, Crom- 
well, Connecticut. 
Vol. 13, no. 154, including pages 209 to 224 and plate 93, was issued 
9 October, 1911.
