The other question, especially considered in your number 18, as 
to the author’s name to be cited after P. multiflorus, was only 
touched on by the way by me, and is scarcely as interesting. De 
Candolle gives (Prodr. 2, p. 392) the credit to Wildenow; and was 
the authority upon which I relied. But it is plain, on a second look 
at.the German author, that he did not claim the species ; and Steu- 
del also gives it to Lamarck. Epw. TuckERMaN,

Talking of beans and whether we know them, it may be well to 
note in the Burrerin that the oldest name for Cornuti’s plant is 
Phaseolus coccineus, Linn, Spec. 724. In the second edition 
1016) Linneus refers it to P. vulgaris as var. coccineus, and this 
reference only is cited by Lamarck, Wildenow, and De Candolle, 
probably overlooking the earlier one. It iseven omitted by Steudel 
in his nomenclature. ow, 
§ 109. Hyde Park.—During .the last week in July I noticed on 
the banks of the river opposite Hyde Park, N. Y., several trees of 
Khus glabra, L., on which, instead of berries, were thyrsi of abnor- 
mal green leaves, about 3” broad, and J’ long, strongly involute, 
and looking like plumes in the distance. At the base of one 
thyrsus were several scarlet drupes, as in the regular fruit clusters. 
Is this common ? 
Near Hyde Park station there are still some fine plants of 
Galium Mollugo, L., noticed in the Butiertn for Sept., 1873. On 
the lowlands near Hyde Park Rudbeckia triloba, L., is not uncom- 
mon. I send leaves of a specimen picked July 28, 
On a bank a mile south of the village Pentstemon pubescens, 
Soland., was found during the past month, and on a dry sloping 
rock still farther south, in company with Opuntia Rafinesquii, 
Englm., were several blossoming plants of Aselepias verticillata, L. 
In the neighborhood stands a flourishing colony of Solea concolor,
