(Continued from page 130.) 
RANUNCULUS ALLEGHENIENSIS Britton. Occasional in northwest-

* THALICTRUM DASYCARPUM Fisch. & Lall. Thickets: Groton 
(Weatherby), New London (Graves), Franklin (R. W. Woodward, 
RHODORA, xv. 95). 
* HEPATICA AMERICANA (DC.) Ker, forma canpipa Fernald. Ruo- 
DORA, xix. 46 (1917). Occasional with the typical form. 
H. acutitopa DC. Simsbury, 1837 (specimen in Shurtleff herb. 
at Wesleyan University; no collector given). In the Catalogue 
reported only from western Connecticut. 
f CLEMATIS FLORIDA Thunb. Woodbridge (Chas. F. Hull). The 
collector states that this species has been growing beside a brook for 
several years. Frequently cultivated. Native of Japan. 
C. VERTICILLARIS DC. Killingly (C. H. Knowlton, RHODORA, 
xiii. 31). In the Catalogué not reported from Windham Co. 
COPTIS TRIFOLIA (L.) Salisb. Stamford (W. H. Hoyt). In the 
Catalogue not reported near the coast west of New Haven. 
* ACTAEA RUBRA (Ait.) Willd., forma NeGLECTA (Gillman) Robin- 
son. Rich, rocky woods on the north slope of Canaan Mt., North 
Canaan (Harger & Weatherby). Also reported from Mt. Totoket, 
North Branford (O. Harger in “ Berzelius” Catalogue). 
At the station in North Canaan a single plant of the form was found 
growing with A. rubra and A. alba. The berries of A. rubra and forma 
neglecta were mature. Those of A. alba were half-grown. Growing 
near was another plant with the slender pedicels of A. rubra but with 
the half-grown fruit of A. alba and with leaves more nearly like the 
latter. The different combinations of characters suggest that one or 
both of these forms may be of hybrid origin.— E. B. HARGER.
