§ 93. First Field Day of the Club.—The club having decided to 
hold field days this summer, a small company explored the Ramapo 
Mountains, near Sufferns, Rockland Co., on Saturday, May 234d. 
The following interesting plants were found, Clematis verticillaris, 
DC. ; Epigea repens, L.; Corydalis flavula, Raf.; Staphylea tri- 
Jolia, 1..; Polygala paucifolia, Willd. ; Prunus Americana, Mar- 
shall; P. pumila, L.; Mitella diphylla, L.; Asarum Canadense, 
L.; Habenaria viridis, R. Br.; H. bracteata, Reich.; Orchis specta- 
belis, L.; Uvularia perfoliata, L. The last named species was 
larger than we have ever before seen, viz., two feet high, with 
flowers an inch and a half long; the granular-roughened sepals 
and sharp-pointed anthers showed it to be U. perfoliata and not 
U. grandiflora, as we at first thought it. GU, Wi:

elliptical, triseptate, nucleate, hyaline, .0006’x.0002’. 
On dead branch of oak ( Quercus rubra), Poughkeepsie. 
This would seem to come near Cooke’s P. parvula (which I 
have not seen), but differs in many respects according to the de- 
scription in the “ Hand-book.” 
___ Patellaria dispersa, (n. sp.)—Receptacles black, sessile, scattered, 
- -margined; asci cylindrico-clavate; spores varying from subpyriform 
to clavate, 4-8 septate, the cells filled with nuclei, .0014'x.0006 
(at the broad end), pale brown. :
