A STATION IN MAINE FOR ILEX VERTICILLATA, FORMA CHRYSOCARPA. 
—Late in November of last year a young friend from Belgrade was 
coming to visit my school in Smithfield. Although only thirteen 
years of age this lad, Orel P. Stevens, has a very good knowledge of 
the flora and fauna of this vicinity and is a very close observer of 
nature. While still in Belgrade but not far from the line which 
separates the two towns, and the counties of Kennebec and Somerset, 
his keen eye, trained to detect anything unusual, discovered a shrub 
which looked “new.” Upon investigation he decided it was'of more 
than ordinary interest and brought some of the berry-laden branches 
to my school. I was interested at once and upon consulting the 
Manual decided it was the yellow-berried variety of the Black Alder, 
Ilex verticillata, forma chrysocarpa, Robinson, reported only from 
Georgetown, Massachusetts. A few days later I obtained some of the 
berries from the same shrub and sent specimens to the Gray Herbarium 
where the identification was verified. It is a pleasure to be able 
thus to report it from Maine.—HanniET A. Nye, Fairfield Center,
