A New STATION ror RUBUS IDAEUS, VAR. ANOMALUS.— It may be of 
interest to readers of Ruopora to know that upon May 19th, of the 
present season I found a single plant of Rubus idaeus L. var. anomalus 
Arrhenius, in Townshend, Vermont, growing upon a rocky hillside. 
'The ridge upon which the plant was growing, while not especially 
limey, is somewhat so, enough so that it has been quarried at some 
little distance from the station, in former years. 
Determination was by Prof, Fernald. The plant had two good 
fruiting canes, one of which was sent to the herbarium of the New 
England Botanical Club and the other retained in my private her- 
barium.— Leston A. WHEELER, Townshend, Vermont. 
A Connecticut STATION FOR ILEX MOLLIS.— Mr. W. E. Campbell 
of New Haven has recently found a plant of this species growing in the 
woods on the estate of Mr. T. W. Bryant at Torrington, Connecticut. 
Regarding the plant Mr. Bryant writes,— “This shrub has grown ina 
thicket of undergrowth and was saved by me in cutting the under- 
brush. I know of six separate clumps. The largest has a parent root 
about six inches in diameter out of which grow six branches, the largest 
of which is about twelve feet high. This is evidently an old plant and 
is completely covered with berries. The other clumps are small and 
I should judge young, and only one or two of them have any berries 
atall" This discovery is interesting for this is the first time, I believe, 
that this species has been found in New England or nearer New 
England than the Catskill Mountains.— C. S. SARGENT, Arnold 
Arboretum. 
[The Torrington station is apparently the second in New England. In 
Ruopona, vi. 204, Mr. Ralph Hoffmann recorded a station found by him in 
June, 1902, on the western side of the Dome in Berkshire County, Massachu- 
setts, where the Jlex was “growing commonly in the shade in the moist 
woodland." Several sheets of material from the Dome are preserved in the 
herbarium of the New England Botanical Club.— Eds.]
