§ 341. Botrychium Lunaria, Sw.—This summer there has been a 
new station discovered for Botrychium Lunaria by Miss Laura Ged- 
des. As it is some ten miles from the one I discovered on the Janes- 
ville road, June 17th, 1872, and there has never been any of it found 
in intermediate localities, we feel much delighted with the young 
lady’s good fortune. We think it wiser not to give the exact habitat, 
- as it is getting uprooted from the old one. Many of the specimens 
from Miss Geddes; station have the segments placed more closely 
together than in those I found, looking more like my Labrador spec- 
imen: some, too, have the margins much incised. Why we do not 
find Botrychium boreale remains a mystery, but we still hope to place 
it in our Onondaga Flora,

§ 342. Habenaria peramecena, Gray.—A single specimen of this 
handsome orchid has been brought to me from near Haddonfield, 
New Jersey. I have no knowledge of its having been detected in 
this part of the State before, and think it worthy of note. 
The introduction of foreign plants in ballast deposits, both 
here and at Philadelphia, still continues. I have collected more new 
arrivals this year than for some time past. They are chiefly of species 
from Southern Europe, some from the African coast, and occasion- 
ally some from the West Indies and South America.

§ 343. Aspidium aculeatum, Sw., var. Braunii, Koch.—New lo- 
calities of this fern are being reported from time to time. In addi- 
tion to the two in the Catskill mountains already known we have now 
another in the Bushnellsville Clove, sometimes called “ Deep Hol- 
low,” on the road from Shandaken to Westkill, where it was collected 
on the 15th of August by Misses Mary and Caroline Redfield, of 
Pittsfield, Mass. This deep, rocky gorge, shut in by mountain walls, 
has the conditions under which this fern is usually found, and lies far 
back in the Catskills, on the boundary between Ulster and Greene 
counties, and not far from the border of Delaware Co.,N. Y. The 
height of the clove is 1973 feet.

§ 344. Notes of a Botanical Excursion into North Carolina. 
The recent re-discovery of Shortia in North Carolina has created 
much interest among botanists. Dr. Gray, who first called attention to 
Michaux’s original specimen and established the genus upon it, had 
long ago indicated the probability of finding it anew. Searches re- 
peated in the course of many years had proved fruitless, so that to 
the botanical fraternity and particularly to the author of the genus 
the recovery was somewhat like that of a long-lost child. Desirous to 
see the plant zz situ, he accepted the kind offer of Mr. M. E. Hyams 
to guide him to the spot, and two comrades of a former excursion, 
Messrs. Canby of Wilmington and Redfield of Philadelphia, with
