paratively microscopic stage. But fruit resulted which has taken a 
full year to mature, and which the past month was of a pretty rosy 
red. Not a seed was found in any one. This is evidently not a 
case of cleistogaray, for it is probable that there were no perfect 
stamens in the buds, or else there would have been seeds. Still, the 
circumstance is interesting. 
Viola sarmcntosa^ Dough — It seems scarcely necessary to put 
upon record that a violet is cleistogene, for any of them may be ex- 
pected to be; but perhaps it is as well to note the actual fact. In 
the \^oods around Departure Bay, in British Columbia, Viola sarvien- 
the flowers were cleistogamous.

A Few Additions to the Berzelius Catalogue. — Upon seeing a 
list of plants reported by Prof, Eaton as new to the " Berzelius Cat- 
alogue " of plants growing within thirty miles of Yale College, I was 
reminded that I might give a similar list of those that I have found 
in this section of the circle. 
Reseda Lutcola^ L., is given in the Catalogue as lost. ^ I have 
since observed it in its old habitat, and also in another locality. 
I am credited with finding Viola pedata^ L., var. bicolor, Gray, but 
this is a mistake, it was var. alba. I have never seen the var. bicolor 
growing wild. 
Erodium ciciitarium, L' Her., grows at Stony Brook. 
Polygala fastigiata, Nutt., grows at Atlanticville, beyond the 
limits of the Catalogue. 
Amorpha fruticosa^ L, Of this, reported as lost, I have found 
several specimens again. 
Ammania humilisy Mx., is common on Long Island. 
Hydrocotyle u?nbellata^ L., is common on Long Island. 
Galium boreale. L., I observed on the shore of the Housatonic, be- 
low Cornwall Bridge, Ct., in 1875, but probably not within the Iniuts 
of the Catalogue, 
Enpatorium hyssopifolium^ L,, is very common on Long Island. 
Aster nemoralis^ Ait., I have found in a sandy swamp near River 
Head. 
XantJiium spinosum^ L., formerly grew at Mt. Sinai, but I have 
not seen it for some years. 
Achillea Millefolium^ L., var. roseum^ is common on Long Island. 
Matricaria inodora^ L., was formerly plentiful, but I have not 
seen it for several years, 
Cirsitwi Jiorridiilum^ Mx., is common on Long Island, 
Vaccinium Oxycoccus^ L., grows at one locality in Wading River. 
Mentha aqtiatica^ L., var. crispa^ is found at Mt. Sinai. 
Echium vulgarey L., is found at Port Jefferson, 
Asclepias incarnatu^ L., (typical form) grows at Wading River. ^ 
Eujuex viaritimus^ L., was found in abundance at Montauk Point 
in 1879. This is far beyond the limits of the Catalogue, but is inter- 
esting because it is new to the State of New York. 
Amarantus viridis, L., is plentiful at East Hampton, though be- 
yond the limits of the Catalogue.
