south of Ann Arbor, Mich., in 1863. I saw it also this summer in 
the N.. W. corner of Livingston Co. in abundance in three or four 
fields, and some weeks ago I found a few specimens about five miles 
north of Bellevue. Ranunculus acris, L., I saw also this summer 
from 10 to 16 miles north of here, the only place where I have | 
ever seen it established west of New York. In the way of immigra-_ 
tions, Hibiscus militaris, Cav., and Dysodia chrysanthemoides, Lag. 
have established themselves at Joliet, IL, and Artemisia biennis, 
Willd., now abounds in many places in this state. You may look» 
for the latter in New York in a few years. [Vid. § 79.] Where 
I have seen it here, it is evident that it is not indigenous, but an - 
emigrant from the west.” Sept. 19th, I. H. H.

Nabalus racemosus, Hook.—Sept. 29, 1870, Scarsdale, Westchester _

Perhaps these stations are mostly too remote. J. S. MERRIAM. — 
92. Podophyllum peltatum, L.—I had never seen in Westchester 
Co., until a few plants were introduced some years ago by the 1 
portation of fruit trees from Central N. Y. The plants grow

banks of the Passaic and from Staten Island, but we have a strong 
impression that it occurs on New York Island, and in other loct 
lities in our district. Can any one give us certainty on this point?
