know absolutely which of his plants grew in Massachusetts. He 
explored the western slopes of the hills very thoroughly, and in many 
cases it would be hard to ascertain on just which side of the invisible . 
line his specimens grew. The following are selected as perhaps 
within our limits. 
Juniperus virginiana Monarda didyma 
Corallorrhiza maculata " fistulosa 
J trifida Gerardia flava 
Cypripedium acaule Veronica americana 
E parviflorum, var. pu- Cuscuta Coryli

Habenaria hyperborea Aster patens 
Claytonia virginica * prenanthoides 
Desmodium paniculatum Eupatorium urticaefolium 
- nudiflorum Solidago erecta 
Lespedeza frutescens * hispida

The neighboring region of New York furnished us several additional 
species. In dry woods just inside Copake, we found good specimens of 
Polygala Senega, while in a calcareous swamp near the State road just 
north of Copake village grew Salix candida and S. serissima, Carex 
limosa and C. diandra var. ramosa. These interesting plants do not 
appear on the New York lists. 
This day of exploration brought us very little that was new, but 
the region proved most interesting from the large number of species 
and the unexpected contrasts. We secured so many plants not on 
the Copake lists that further explorations should bring out still other 
rarities, for the area is extensive, there being many ravines and slopes, 
with decided differences in altitude and in moisture content.
