differ from 7. latifolia only in the interval between the sterile and 
fertile portions of the spike. At Middle Village, L. IL: Diplopap- 
pus cornifolius, At Richmond Hill: Pardanthus Chinensis ; it is 
abundant and thoroughly established. At this place a field was so 
covered with Stachys hyssopifolia, as to seem to be under cultiva- 
tion. At Glendale: Dicksonia puctilobula, found by Mr. Rudkin. 
At Springfield, L. 1, Pedicularis lanceolatua; Glyceria obtusa; 
Gratiola aurea; Woodwardia angustifolia. At Yonkers: Habenaria 
ciliaris ; Scirpus lineatus ; Centaurea nigra; Aithusa Cynapium, 
in the stree s; Tricuspis seslerioides ; Bromus sterilis, along the 
R. R. In addition to the new stations mentioned above, the fol- 
lowing have been discovered by individuals, mostly during the last 
and present seasons: Hieracium aurantiacum, near New Dorp, 
Staten Island, G. M. Wilbur, new to our general flora. Lysima- 
chia thyrsifolia, Vanderveer’s Creek, L. I., W. H. Rudkin, Wood- 
side, A. Brown. Liatris spicata, White Mills, L. L, W. H. 
ftudkin. Asclepias verticillata, Mt. Clair Heights, N. J., W. H. 
Rudkin. gopodium podagraria, Maspeth, M. R. Athusa Cy- 
napium, Maspeth, M. R. Silphium perfoliatum, Banks of Harlem 
River at Carmansville, M. R. Actinomeris squarrosa, fields about 
Mt. Clair Station, N. J., Mr. Addison Brown,—an interesting 
discovery. Chenopodium leptophyllum, Coney Island, alongside 
the plank walk leading from the new R. R. Station to George’s 
Hotel. This is by far the most interesting discovery made this 
season. The plants which lie before me bear strict comparison 
with those sent me by Mr. F. W. Hall, of New Haven. It is likely 
to occur elsewhere on the sandy shores of Long Island. M. Rucer. 
§ 538. Rhododendron maximum, L.—In answer to the interroga- 
tory in the August BULLETIN as to this plant, I would say that in 
1855, while I was staying at New Russia, Essex Co., N. Y., some 
leaves, which I have still in my herbarium, were brought me from 
a swamp about eight miles from that place, where I was told it grew 
abundantly. J. W. Conapon. 
Mr. Charles J. Sprague writes us that he found it growing, 
ears ago, near Sebago Lake, some twenty miles from Portland, 
aine. These two localities are very nearly in the same latitude, 
viz.: About 44°. Is this the northern limit of the species ? 
§ 54. Rare Plants.—I have been fortunate to rediscover Saxifraga 
Aizoon, Jacq. , this summer at Willoughby, Vt., where Mr. Blake once 
found a single specimen. I found only four. But a still greater 
find has been made by Mr. C. G. Pringle, of Charlotte, Vt. He has 
had the good fortune to rediscover Astragalus Robbinsii, Gray, on 
the ledges of the Winooski River not far from the original but now 
extinct locality. J. W. Conepon.
