VALERIANACE. 
Valeriana sylvatica, Richards, vid. § 48 and § 56, Vol. VI; this 
rare plant is certainly not scarce about Pine Plains. It is 
abundant in the following localities: in Mulford Wheeler’s 
peat bog or marsh near Pulver’s Corner; Pogonia swamps, 
near Attlebury ; Wappingers Marsh, near base of Stissing Mt. ; 
Marsh west of Croghan Hill, ete. It embraces a circuit of 
about twelve miles in diameter, this being the extent thus far 
- of my botanical explorations; hence the plant undoubtedly 
extends much farther, and very probably will be found in Mas- 
sachusetts and Connecticut, one of my stations being within 
three miles of the line of the latter State. .
