less sharply toothed leaves on broadly winged petioles and the achenes, 
although smaller than in var. petiolata, are not so small as in var. 
gracilipes, the outer being 4-5.3 mm. long, the inner 5-6.5 mm. long 
and with marginal awns 2.2-3.6 mm. long. 
Very young specimens from peaty shores of the Little Ossipee 
River, Limington, Maine (Fernald & Long, no. 14,843) may belong 
here.— M. L. FERNALD, Gray Herbarium. 
AN OMISSION IN THE PRELIMINARY List or New ENGLAND RANUN- 
CULACEAE.— By a regrettable oversight, chiefly my own, the one 
New England record for Cimicifuga racemosa (L.) Nutt., var. dissecta 
Gray was omitted from the list of New England Ranunculaceae pub- 
lished in RuoporA, xx. 182. The plant in question was collected 
by Dr. E. H. Eames at Stratford, Conn., in 1893 and was duly in- 
cluded in the Connecticut Flora. There is also a specimen in the 
Gray Herbarium. C. racemosa, var. dissecta should have been entered in 
the list and marked with a cross.— C. A. WEATHERBY, East Hartford, 
Connecticut. 
Vol. 21, no. 244, including pages 73 to 88, was issued 9 May, 1919.
