6. Cynoglossum officinale, L.—I found, this last summer, one spe- 
cimen of Cynoglossum officinale, L., growing in a vacant lot in @ 
Freehold, N. J. Another specimen was given me, obtained on the — 
road side not far from Keyport, the donor regarding it as a curious — 
plant which he had never seen before. I have seen C. officinale, 
both the red, and the white flowered varieties, very common and 
troublesome in Schoharie and Green counties, New York. I remem- 
ber that the late Hon. Zadoc Pratt, of Prattsville, N. Y., used to 
employ men, at his own expense, each summer to cut the pest down 
for many miles on the road side. 
66. Nymphaea odorata, var—On visiting Lewes, Del. lately, I was 
interested to find in the cabin of the steamship, a fine group of the 
pink-tinted water-lilies, gathered in a pond near the pine woods 
between the town and Cape Henlopen, as I was told. They were 
‘quite small flowers, but of very choice and delicate perfume, white’ 
within, but the outer petals and the sepals richly tinged with rose 
color. It is interesting to find a well-defined locality of this pecu-- 
liar and striking variety of one of our loveliest flowers.
