140 Rhodora [JULY 
reported in central New York. The writer has also been told by one 
who is familiar with this species in Maine, that the habit there is as 
described for central New York, and certainly not tree-like. Mr. 
Eggleston has informed the writer, personally, of a single tree-like 
individual of this species in Vermont. Such individual trees may 
be hybrids with one of the arborescent species. 
The var. gaspensis is a perplexing form. It varies much in stature 
and in habitat, as well as in leaf-outline and dentation. The leaves 
suggest an intermediate condition between this species and A. humilis, 
especially in the venation. In its more glabrous nature it approaches 
A. florida; but the general appearance of the majority of the speci- 
mens, both when in flower and in fruit, suggests that it is better to 
retain this form in A. sanguinea until further field study renders it 
better understood. More field work on all the Amelanchiers of Gaspé 
is very desirable.
