1913] Harger,— Some Plants of Southbury Triassic Area 67 
Turning now to the trap ridges which overlook the village of South 
Britain from the east we find a little pool near the summit bordered 
by a growth of Populus heterophylla L. not known elsewhere within 
25 miles; while on the drier rocky slopes Cypripedium parviflorum 
Salisb., Aristolochia Serpentaria L., Parietaria pennsylvanica Muhl. 
and Ranunculus fascicularis Muhl. grow sparingly. A small amount 
of Pellaea atropurpurea Link. grows here in crevices of sandstone 
and is also found in Woodbury on trap. 
On the second ridge eastward Mr. A. E. Blewitt discovered the 
showy Cynthia, Krigia amplexicaulis Nutt., growing on a rather dry 
stony roadside remote from dwellings or cultivation. 
At the southern end of one of these ridges overlooking the river is 
the type locality of Arabis viridis Harger (Ruopora 13: 37). This 
also occurs sparingly near the station for Populus heterophylla L. 
and was collected by Dr. E. H. Eames in Orenaug Park, Woodbury 
on a trap ridge at the northerly end of the area. 
Returning again to the lowland, as we go from South Britain toward 
Southbury we find the roadside bordered with Dipsacus sylvestris L. 
while a meadow near is yellow with Galium verum L. and nearly oppo- 
site is found Physalis virginiana Mill. Along the parallel road south 
of the river Agrimonia parviflora Ait. and Linum sulcatum Riddle, 
have been found, the latter occasional through the eastern valley into 
Woodbury. Just at the southern limit of the Triassic is located the 
station for Phlox pilosa L. already mentioned and with it or near by 
grow Anemone cylindrica Gray and Convolvulus spithamaeus L. while 
another dodder, Cuscuta arvensis Beyrich, was collected in a field near 
by. 
Passing now into the eastern valley we find staminate Salix alba L. 
var. vitellina Koch. along a tributary of the Pomperaug and formerly 
there was a quantity of Monarda didyma L. in a fence-row along the 
road. A little farther north Cuphea petiolata Jacq., Verbena angusti- 
folia Michx. and Aster amethystinus Nutt. grow in dry soil on one 
farm and near the northern limit of Southbury one of the “king devil” 
weeds, Hieracium pratense Tausch. (probably), is gaining a good foot- 
hold in a dry field. On a roadside near by the writer discovered 
Senecio Balsamitae Muhl. var. praelongus Greenm., the first record 
for this part of the state. "This was later collected in Woodbury by 
Eames and Godfrey. 
Passing now into the town of Woodbury we find a small sphagnum
