Prunus Virgmiana, L., is very rare near Closter, the only locality 
known to me is about three quarters of a mile N. W. of the 
station; P, Americana, Marshall, is found at Closter. 
Gillenia trifoliata, Moench, I have never seen in N. J. this side of the 
Musconetcong Mts. 
Geum Virginianum, L., is not rare in bogs near Closter; (. strictum, Ait., 
is quite common near Parcipany. 
Spirea opulifolia, L., and 
Potentilla arguta, Pursh, Rocks, High Torre, Haverstraw; P. palustris, 
Scop.; Budd’s Lake, Morris Co., N. J., [both extra limital, Hds. | 
Fragaria Virginiana, Ehrhart, is common about Closter. 
Rubus strigosus, Mchx., is common in Orange and Sussex Co’s, but 
I never saw it this side of, nor even on, the Musconetcong Mts. 
I have searched for it about Sufferns, Haverstraw, Ramapo, 
Mendham, Boonton, Budd’s Lake, Stanhope, Hacketstowa, 
Chester, Morristown, Closter, etc., but never found it near 
these places.—R. negleetus, Peck, a hybrid, I have no doubt, bet- 
ween R. Strigosus and R. occidentalis, occurs in Orange Co., but 
seldom more than one bush in a place; it will hardly average a 
bush to a hundred acres of land. A Var.? of R. occidentalis 
with whitish or cream colored fruit appears to have escaped 
from cultivation at Franklin, Essex Co., N. J., (near Caldwell.) 
It is thoroughly established in pastures and thickets. I have 
heard from several persons that a white-berried Rubus grows 
near Sufferns, N. Y. C. F.,Austin. 
67, Mr. Congdon of Rhode Island used to find at East New York, 
Aseyrum Crux Andrei, L., and at Irvington Polanisia graveolens, Raf. 
Scirpus Olneyi, Gray, grows abundantly at junction of Erie & N.R. R. 
of New Jersey. There is a large clump of Melilotus officinalis, Willd., 
at Communipaw on the N. J. Central R. R., where also Cannabis — 
sativa, L., is very abundant. TEA 
68. Prunus Pennsylvanica, L., grows on Weehawken heights. It isalso | 
in the Central Park, west side, not for from the 100th St. entrance. 
Potentilla fruticosa, L., also grows finely, and, I think, multiplies 
there; and Hypericum Kalmianum, L., near the Seventh Ave. entrance, 
and elsewhere, is from ten to twenty times as large as the w 
plants about the Niagara River. I found Potentilla arguta, Pursh, 
high on the rocks, east of Tarrytown, (Paine’s Cat. p. 25,) and, since 
then, near Wilton, Conn. [In the N. W. part of Connecticut, it 18 
& pernicious weed, overrunning the fields, and is known as Hard-
