found two of the typical three cells well developed, and each con- — 
taining one large ovule. The third cell was dwarfed, and had two — 
ovules certainly, of small size : there may have been other rudimen- — 
tary ones, but not distinct enough to be made out with a good j 
magnifying glass. I had hoped to find four cells, so as to have the : 
tetramerism quite complete ; but in this expectation I was disap- — 
pointed, partially at least. 1 
The incident is perhaps worth recording, as the spiderwort is — 
usually such a regular and typical trimerous flower.

4), Aspidium fragrans, Swartz,—does grow in our state. ‘Two years — 
ago I found a few specimens of it on the rocky precipices at Lake — 
Avalanche in Essex County. It is not improbable, therefore, that Ee 
it occurs at New Russia. a 
I intend visiting the Adirondack region again soon, and hope to 
find more of it. Woodsia glabella, R. Brown, another rare fern with : 
us, also occurs there. Cuas. H. Peck, Albany, July 6th 
50. New Stations —gopodium podagraria, L., seems to be pretty well — 
established at Gutlehbene hoe strictum, Ait., and Erigeron Philadel- 
phicum. L., grow on Long Hill, N. J.—Dr. Pooley has sent us Dios- 
pyros Virginiana, L., from Yonkers.—We gathered in a swampy 
meadow at New Lots, in May, what we take to be Rhyneospora fasta, 
Rem. & Schultes. We have little doubt of its identity though the — 
plant was only in flower. .
