1919] Deane,— Amsinckia in New England 39 
There is a single instance of the occurrence of A. arenaria Suksd. 
in New England, the species having been recorded from Nantucket by 
Mr. E. P. Bicknell under the name of 4. intermedia F. & M. in Bull. 
Torr. Bot. Club xlii. 39 (1915). He says there were “a number of 
plants in scattered growth....near Surfside, in full flower and fruit, 
July 4, 1912." Later in Bull. Torr. Bot. Club xlv. 382-383 (1918) 
he states that he had submitted specimens to Mr. Macbride who 
refers them, “perhaps not without some uncertainty," to A. arenaria 
Suksd. 
The occurrence in New England of A. intactilis Macbr. makes 
another record of the first appearance of an Amsinckia outside its 
native home. This is a species described in Contrib. Gray Herb. 
xlix. 13 (1917). It was known only from Glen Co., California, and 
Washoe Co., Nevada. It has handsome yellow flowers, 15 mm. long, 
and a long fruiting calyx. My cousin, Miss Grace Deane Williams, 
sent me on May 22, 1918, a fragment of this species from Shelburne, 
Franklin Co., Massachusetts, where she had found the plant in a sheep 
pasture near a chicken yard. It was the only specimen seen. I re- 
ceived on June 2 another fragment in full flower, and the entire plant 
was carefully protected until it was in good fruit when it was collected 
on July 16 and it is now in my herbarium. Mr. Macbride calls it 
“seemingly an introduced state." The specific characters, however, 
fix it in this species, and it makes an interesting addition to our New 
England flora. 
Yet another species has been definitely recorded from New England. 
Through the kindness of Mr. Robert Scoville and Mrs. J. R. Sanford 
of Salisbury, Connecticut, an Amsinckia has been sent for determina- 
tion to the Gray Herbarium. It was collected on June 16, 1903, 
at “Grasslands,” Mr. Scoville’s estate in Salisbury, by Mrs. Orra 
Parker Phelps, and was recorded in the Connecticut Flora, above 
mentioned, as A. lycopsoides Lehm. It proves to be A. Menziesii 
(Lehm.) Nels. & Macbr. This species has also been collected on 
waste ground in Hartford, Connecticut, by Mr. C. H. Bissell, on 
June 30, 1903. It also was recorded in the Connecticut Flora as 
A. lycopsoides Lehm. before Mr. Macbride's revision of the genus. 
Further study at the Gray* Herbarium has settled its identification. 
Dr. Chas. B. Graves of New London, Connecticut, has recently 
sent to the Gray Herbarium specimens of an Amsinckia collected “by 
Mr. E. F. Burleson of Jewett City, Connecticut, on June 14 and
