_ 29 Notes on the list of plants——We gladly report several communica- 
tions, suggesting corrections or additions to our catalogue. We 
hope correspondents will remember to send specimens to Dr. Allen, 
33 East 33d St., for the Local Herbarium, so that, when the com- 
pleted catalogue is published, it may have an authentic basis for 
reference, and verification. 
Ranuneutus multifidas, Pursh, grows near Flatbush Jail, on the 
Oaklands side. Last season I found it at Ridgewood, in a small 
pool, which is now perhaps filled up. M. Ruger. 
Trollius laxus, Salisb, The station in Westchester County is erro- 
neously given 3 miles from Mt. Coombs; read McCoombs Bridge. 
Magnolia glauca, L. I am a native of North Hempstead, Queens 
Co., and have botanized in most of the localities between Ja- 
maica and Greenport, but have not seen a plant of Magnolia. 
It may grow there, but I should like to know who has seen it. 
O. R. Wis. 
We took the locality from Torr. Cat. and the State Flora; but 
we have not met with the plant on Long Is. ourselves, nor do we find | 
on enquiry, any recent collector who has. It may, however, grow on 
this end of the island, which, from the discoveries of Mr. Ruger and 
others, would seem not to have been fully explored. That it is not 
very uncommon on the south side of Staten Island, or in the Jersey 
Swamps, we can personally vouch. Eps. 
30. Communication from 1. H. Hall—If you consider, (as I do,) Hepativa 
acutiloba, DC., a species distinct from H. triloba, Chaix., I have to 
report 
Hepatiea acutiloba, DC., West Mount Vernon, banks of the Bronx, m 
company with Dentaria diphylla, L., D. laciniata, Muhl, and a few 
other things not as common here as further northward. 
In Central and Western New York H. acutiloba is the prevailing 
form; so prevailing, indeed, that I know of but one locality there of 
4. triloba, and that is in Fleming, Cayuga County. The H. triloba 
18 more apt to run to bright colors, rose, purple, deep purplish blue, 
*nd more often develops scent; while the H. acutiloba is most com- 
monly white, or with blush of rose or faint tinge of blue. Trans- 
planted into gardens, the H. triloba develops the st 
keeps its colors brighter. In both forms, both wild and 
have observed quite a considerable degree of permanence 
‘om year to year in the same plants. It may be interesting to ob-— 
Serve that hardly any of our common wild flowers take more kindly 
to cultivation than the two Hepaticas, provided they are not put 
transplanted, 
ronger scent, and a 
ence in color __
