Broome County (N. Y.) Finds.- As far as I can determine, this 
county has never been thoroughly worked. Dr. Torrey, in his Flora 
of the State of New York, says; " The parts of the State that have 
been least explored botanically are the counties which lie on the bor- 
ders of Pennsylvania, etc." In view of this fact, I have this year 
commenced a systematic exploration, so far finding two of the species 
that the doctor thought would be found in the State in this district, 
VIZ. : Ne^undi 
aceroides, Moench., and Rudbeckia fulgtda, Ait. I 
append a few notes on my work this season, which, though incom- 
plete, will give some idea of the probabilities of this locality. The 
tollovying species, which I have met in counties west and north of 
this, I have not yet found here: 
Claytonia Virginica, L., Finguicula vulgaris, L., Vesicaria Shoriii, 
i' %^'-^ j^^^'^ P'*'P^>-^'^^ I-, Polygala Senega, L., Baptisia tindoria, 
K. Br BtceMtra Canadensis, DC, Coptls trifolia, Salisb., Hydrastis 
Canadensis, L Geum rivale, L., Sangtiinaria Canadensis, L. (strange as 
It may seem), Rhus aromatica. Ait., Gymnocladus Canadensis, Lam., 
contium, Schott. 
otundifolia 
I hese I mention as plants that really ought to be found— except, 
mayhap, the second to fourth— and may hereafter be located. 
Datura Stramonium, L.— Many individuals were found near a 
negro settlement on State St., city. 
Datura Tatula, L.— One individual only, that near a comb 
factory where the horns are kept, probably imported with them. 
Mehlotus officinalis, Willd.— Plentiful, but in one situation only, 
the M. alba. 
Lyc/inis vespertina, Sibth.— In two situations. 
Cassia Marilandica, L.— One individual only, that on Noyes 
Island, near the city, in the Chenango River. 
Cypripedinni acaule. Ait.— One individual only, and that a beautiful 
specimen, was found growing upon the upper side of a prostrate 
mossy trunk of Abies Canadensis, a strange situation for the largest 
and most perfect specimen I ever saw! 
Betula papyracea. Ait. — Five clumps were found on the north 
aspect of South Mountain.
