WALDSTEINIA IN Marne.—When the Portland Society of Natural 
History in 1862, issued its first “ Catalogue of Maine Plants,” Wald- 
steinia fragarioides (L.) Trattinick was listed from Bethel; but no 
specimens were produced to substantiate the claim, aad the plant has 
never been found since then in that region. In fact from 1862 till 
1922 the species had not been reported authentically from any portion 
of the state. 
About June 1 of the current year, Frederick Godwin, a boy in the 
7th grade, brought me a 3-inch bit from the top of a scape bearing 
one blossom and a calyx from which petals had fallen, but which 
plainly showed perigynous insertion of the stamens. A little study 
convinced me of the identity of the plant and I commandeered the 
services of a friend from Waterville to bring me in some of the plants. 
It was then so nearly out of flower that only three good specimens 
could be obtained. One of these has been placed in the herbarium 
of the New England Botanical Club. "The colony is extensive and 
is located in the town of Benton.—Joun C. PARLIN, Albion, Maine 
Vol. 24, no. 281, including pages 77 to 100, was issued 25 July, 1922.
