who pointed out that the lower sheaths were retrorsely hairy, and a 
tuft of it decidedly fragrant. It grows in the’same locality with 
frangula: apparently annual. ‘

§ 108. Erodium cicutarium, L’Her.—In one of the earlier num- 
bers of the Butietin for 1873, Prof. James Hyatt reported a field’ 
in Poughkeepsie as a new station for this plant. Having learned 
the exact locality from Prof. H.,I visited it a few days ago, and 
found thousands of the plants in flower, densely carpeting a space 
at least sixty or seventy feet square, at the spot he indicated, and 
also, various small patches at various points in the field, somewhat 
removed from the original station, The plants are well established, 
and have evidently been growing in their present locality for 
years. : W. R. Gerarp.

§ 109, Solea concolor, Ging.—Last May, I detected Solea concolor, 
Ging., in a cold mountainous woods about a mile from the village of 
Pine Plains. It was growing very luxuriantly—many of the stems | 
being all of three feet in height—and covered several acres of 
Ground, almost to the entire exclusion of other herbaceous 
Plants. Recently I gathered a number of specimens in fruit, which 
have in full the peculiar characteristics of the violet order. : 
_ With the exception of the single specimen in frait, detected in 
1864 by Mr. I. H. Hall at Tarrytown, I believe it has not been 
_ hitherto reported as found east of Palmyra. This station, in addi-— 
_ tion to the fact that the plants grow very abundautly, is yet east of 
Mr, Hall’s at Tarrytown, being only about eight miles from the Con- 
necticut State line. Pine Plains is in the north-eastern part of 
Dutchess County, about twenty miles northeast of Poughkeepsie, — 
_ and is a few miles south of the parallel of latitude (the 42d) which 
_ forms the northern boundary of Pennsylvania. _ - 
In the next month’s Bulletin, I shall give a list of those plants 
growing about Pine Vlains which are rag regarded as sesh 
or rare, and of those whose usual habitat is reported generally 
(particularly in the “ State Flora”), to be to the north or the south 
_ Of this latitude. A few of them, as will be seen, without being so 
- Marked as Solea concolor, Ging., are, nevertheless, usually thought
