Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin, a form of a paler colar, longer, strict, 
or fastigiate branches, and smaller capsules; all have the outer 
sepals shorter. Perhaps they may all be varieties of one species. 
8. L. cinerea, Raf. There is apparently another form, with 
more fulvous pubescence, and six seed, which is possibly dis- 
tinct. Outer sepals shorter. 
g. L. Drummondii, Spach., probably belongs here, being 
closely related to L. tenuifolia, Outer sepals about equal. 
to. L. Cubensis, nob., may also belong here. It was found 
in Cuba by Charles Wright, has thread like leaves, and I believe 
outer sepals about equal to inner. 
Of the distribution: No. 1 is found from Canada to Florida, and 
westward, T. & G. say, to the Mississippi. I have specimens from 
only here and there. No. 2. from New York to Florida and Louis- 
iana. No. 3. from Nantucket to Virginia, and Kentucky. No. 4. I 
know only along the coast from Massachusetts to Delaware. No. 
5. South Carolina and Florida. No. 6. New Hampshire to Florida, 
Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois and Wisconsin. No. 7. Canada, 
Wisconsin, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware. 
‘No. 8. Florida. No.9. Texas. No. 10. Cuba. 
I repeat my request to be furnished with the various forms of 
Lechea from all the States. Wy oi L. 
; § 253. Flora of New Jersey.—I recently received from Dr. 
Hexamer, of New Castle, a specimen of Ca//una vulgaris, Salisb. 
This plant has been found growing without cultivation, in Mass., 
Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland; but was never before known to 
grow so far south as New Jersey. 
The Dr. writes me that he found a few bushes near Egg Harbor. 
That it should be found in a wild state in New Jersey at allis a thing 
to be noticed; but that it should be found in its very southern 
extremity is still more to be wondered at. 
I have also a communication from Dr. Porter, of La Fayette Col- 
lege, who informs me that he, in company with Dr. Green, in the 
latter part of August, made a Botanical excursion to * ‘Swarts Wooa 
Lake,” which lies about six miles north of Newton, in Sussex Co. 
This ‘sheet of water is three miles long and one mile wide. In this 
little lake they found portions covered with Nelumbium uteum, 
Willd. Neither of them had seen this plant in a living state before, 
and we must draw upon the imagination in order to comprehend the 
emotions of two enthusiastic Botanists when beholding such a sight. 
The Dr. stated that some of the leaves were spread out and 
seemed to float upon the surface of the water, while others were 
elevated from one to two feet above. The season of flowering was 
past. The flower stalks, however, like some of the leaves, rose two 
feet above the water. [Vide. Grey’s Manual. ] 
On this same excursion they found WVasturtium lacustre, Gray, 
which was seen for the first time so fareast and south. Also, Diiins 
Beckit, Torr., not before reported from New Jersey. 
I collected, myself, Drosera rotundifolia, L., at Lyonsdale, Lewis 
County, N. Y., at the falls of the Moose River, growing in the crev- 
ices of the rocks. O. R. Wits.
