the common plant to which the name gynandra is, and long has been 
generally applied. The reasonable course is to retain Schweinitz’s 
name for that plant. "That this is the proper procedure is further 
indicated by the fact that the specimen of C. gynandra sent by Schwei- 
nitz to Torrey and now at the New York Botanical Garden, which 
Mr. K. K. Mackenzie has kindly examined for me, proves also to be 
C. gynandra in the accepted sense.—C. A. WEATHERBY, Gray Herb-

Notes ON TWO ERICACEAE OF THE Boston Districr FLORA.— 
RHODODENDRON NUDIFLORUM (L.) Torr.—Only a single locality 
(Purgatory Swamp) for this pink azalea is given! in the Flora of the 
Boston District. I have collected flowering specimens in rather 
moist woods at Stoughton Junction, 29 May 1909, and in dry woods 
at Westwood er vicinity, 27 May 1911. A portion of the first col- 
lection has been deposited in the herbarium of the New England 
Botanical Club. 
VACCINIUM VACILLANS Kalm? var. cuiNrrUM Fernald.—This variety, 
distinguished by the pubescent twigs and under leaf surface, is not 
listed in the Flora. Specimens in young fruit were collected in 
gravelly soil in Stoughton on 15 June 1912 (Blake 3672) and on a 
gravelly bank in Stoughton on 16 June 1912 (3691). A specimen 
of the first collection has been placed in the New England Botanical 
Club herbarium.—S. F. Brake, Bureau of Plant Industry, Washing- 
ton, D. €.

2 In Ruopona 16: 117, footnote 4 (1914), I stated that this specific name should 
be accredited to Torrey, not to Kalm. Although, as has been shown by Britten 
(Journ. Bot. 42: 55. 1904), Solander and not Kalm was the real namer of the plant, 
the fact that Torrey (Fl. N. Y. 1: 444. 1843) published the description of the new 
species under the heading ‘‘ Vaccinium vaccillans, Kalm” makes it necessary to cite ` 
the name as V. vacillans Kalm ex Torr. 
The date of the June issue, unpublished as this goes to press, will be announced 
later .
