41, Notes by Mr. Ruger—In a court-yard leading from the Wall 
street ferry, Brooklyn side, Galeopsis tetrahit, L., was found by Mr. 
Merriam. This seems to have been forgotten by him. I havea 
specimen from there.—It may not be uninteresting to state that 
riza maxima, L., has escaped from the gardens in Springfield, 
Mass., near the R. R. station, where I saw it last summer.—Stellaria - 
Holostea, L., has grown on Train’s Meadow Road for several years.— 
Chenopodium glaucum, L., grows in Newark avenue, Hudson City, 
N. J.—Hydrophyllum Virginieum, L., has not been heretofore re- 
ported from Long Island. It grows at St. Ronan’s Well, and else- 
where on the north side. 
42. Darlingtonia——The Gardeners’ Monthly, for June, claims for Mr. 
Taplin, South Amboy, the credit of being the first to bring this 
plant into bloom on this side of the continent. Dr. Thurber 
it flower early in April, 1870, as reported in the Buruerm for that 
month. Mr. Bower also had it in flower, a year or more 2g0; 
_ and, if we rightly understood Dr. Torrey, a lady, to whom he gave 
some of the roots about the same time, was very successful. We 
are the more surprised at this oversight on the part of the editor, 
as the flowering of these plants gave occasion to Dr. Torrey’s tes 
timony tothe remarkable accuracy of Mr. Charles Sprague’s 
tanical drawing (vid. Butter, April, 1871): De Candolle had 
doubted whether Sprague had possibly made a mistake, 
as seemed more likely, Nature had deviated. Dr. Torrey show 
that Sprague and Nature were all right. It was M. De Candolle, 
excellent botanist though he is, who had erred. 
48, Hall’s Oregon Plants—The Proceedings ofthe American Academy 
of Arts and Sciences for February, 1872 (issued in May), contain — 
an enumeration, by Prof. Gray, of a collection of plants made by 
Mr. Elihu Hall, in Oregon, in the summer of 1871. The collection — 
numbers 700 species. We are so accustomed, in collections made — 
upon the Pacific Coast, to find large accessions to our North Amer 
can Flora, that one in looking over this enumeration is struck with — 
the fewness of new species. Many little-known plants have bee? — 
added by this collection to our herbaria, and the synonymy ie
