1912] Fernald,— Two Rare Junci of eastern Massachusetts — 55 
side leading to the old hotel at about 3700 feet elevation a goldenrod 
which attracted my attention from some distance because, unlike the 
other large-headed species which was growing ia abundance all 
about (S. macrophylla), its inflorescence consisted of close spike-like 
racemes and it grew in a clump of considerable size. It was so late in 
the season that the material obtained was poor and the plant could not 
be determined satisfactorily but when some better specimens from the 
same station were sent to Prof. M. L. Fernald in 1911 he pronounced 
the plant to be Solidago. calcicola Fernald. This is a new goldenrod 
for Vermont and a considerable extension of the range of this plant, 
which has heretofore been found within the limits of the United States 
only in northern Maine, having been collected elsewhere only in 
Gaspé county, P. Q. The Vermont material was taken a quarter 
of a mile below the rocky cone of Killington peak. 
In gathering data for a revision of the Vermont Flora published 
in 1900 by Brainerd, Jones and Eggleston the writer has received the 
past season the following records of plants collected that are new to 
this state: Bromus altissimus Pursh and B. incanus (Shear) Hitchc., 
in Pownal, R. W. Woodward; Carex Bicknellii Britton, in Leicester, 
Woodward; Muhlenbergia foliosa Trin. and Leptoloma | cognatum 
(Schultes) Chase, in Townshend, L. A. Wheeler; Elymus australis 
Scrib. & Ball, in Jamaica, Wheeler; Molinia caerulea Moench and 
Polygonum tomentosum Schrank., in Rutland, Kirk; Scirpus Smithir 
Gray, var. sctosus Fernald, in Brandon, Kirk; Sisyrinchium mucrona- 
tum Michx., in Hartland, J. G. Underwood; Oenothera pratensis 
(Small) Robinson, in Hartland, Miss Nancy Darling; Mimulus 
Langsdorfii Donn., in Reading, Whiting; Epilobium palustre L., in 
Franklin, Underwood; Aster puniceus L., var. lucidus Gray, in 
Brandon, Dutton.

Two RARE JUNCI OF EASTERN MaSSACHUSETTS.— In May, 1910, 
when the Committee on Local Flora published their records for the 
Juncaceae (Ruopora, xii. 95-99), only one station each was known 
in eastern Massachusetts for Juncus brachycarpus and J. effusus, var. 
decipiens — the former at Scituate, the latter at Ipswich. Since 
these plants are so extremely local, not only in Massachusetts but in 
all New England, it is worth recording that in the Charles W. Swan
