3. Triosteum angustifolium, L.—Mr. I. Coles, of Glen Cove, has 
brought us specimens of this species from that vicinity. We 
understand that some years ago Mr. Coles sent a specimen to the 
State Onbinet, where its identity was recognized by Dr. Beck. 
Bucks Co., Pa., has heretofore been supposed to be the northern 
limit of the species. Dr. Torrey has not included it in his list of 
plants to be looked for, appended to the State Flora. This dis- 
covery, and that of Helianthus angustifolius in the same district, 
(one of Dr. Torrey’s petenda,) with those of Eclipta procumbens and 
Polymma Uvedalia at Weehawken, and Nabalus racemosus in West- 
chester Co., and same others, give a fresh interest to our local Flora, 
and should arouse our collectors to renewed activity. 
4, Cornus stricta, Lam.—The specimen with this label in the Her- _ 
barium of the Central Park, vid. § 83, Vol. I., turns out to be @. — 
alternifolia, L. 
9, Winter Blossoms—On the 19th of Dee. the following plants — 
were in bloom on Moore Farm, Newtown, L. I.: Malva rotundifolia, — 
-L., Linaria vulgaris, Mill., and the common Dandelion, Taraxacum 4 
Dens-leonis, Desf. The Linaria held out until the 26th. O.H. Perry. 
Dandelions were seen by Mr. Pollard in bloom on Christmas day, — 
‘in Central Park, and by another friend in another locality, Jan. 18th. _ 
Mr. Perry also gathered at Newtown, on the 8th of January, the — 
beginning of the cold snap, the blossoms of the Cabbage, Shepherd’s- _ 
purse, and Chick-weed. Brassica campestris, L., Capsella Bursa- 
‘pastoris, Moench., Stellaria media, Smith. It will be noticed that all — 
_these late bloomers. are foreigners. The ovules in the last three — 
cases were apparently fertilized. Mr. Ruger writes us that roses q 
were blooming in St. Paul’s Church yard, December 14th. | 
+ 6, Ihave to report the following additional localities : 
_ ‘Silene inflata, Smith; 102nd St. between 3rd and 4th Avenue. - 
Geranium pusillum, L.; court yard in front of No. 229 E. 10th St., in : 
flower as late as Dec. 4th. : : 
Lathyrus maritimus, Bigelow ; Sea-bright, N. J. M. Rueer. 
7. In June last I found by the roadside, in a district burned — 
over five years ago, a Tragopogon, resembling the illustration of T. 
undulatus, in Loudon’s “* Encyclopeedia of Plants,” stated to be @ — 
native of the Crimea. : oo D. Wuson, Glens Falls. 
. 8. Aster longifolins, Lam. 
logue, p 40, asfound by me in Westchester Co., some years since. 
I subsequently found it in other localities near T. 
_ Co. boundary; and have a very strong impression that I have met 
_with it at Portchester, and New Rochelle, and perhaps at. East- 
chester. I have certainly seen it at Riverhead, L.I. I, H. Hat. ©
