have only explored the creek from its mouth to “ Bingham’s 
Sta.,” a distance of about eight miles, yet these few notes will 
show how peculiarly this region forms the true boundary of that 
portion of the State termed in geographical flora, ‘‘ Western New 
York.” 
Archemora rigida, DC., was found about two miles north of 
the State line. This is the farthest eastern station for this species 
that we know of; * the individuals differ from the western in hav- 
ing regularly, finely, and closely serrate leaves (not found in 
Broome Co., nor in the Cayuga basin. Dr. Torrey reports the 
plant in “ western part of the State, rare.’’) 
Oxalis violacea, L., occurs near the mouth of the creek, and 
about three miles up the stream. This violet-like beauty grows 
in the alluvium of the creek, in swales where leaves have accu- 
mulated and decayed; not on rocks, its usual habitat. (Not 
found in the Cayuga region, nor as yet in Broome Co.) 
Polemonium reptans, L., found near the mouth of the creek, 
and by Mr. F. V. Coville about three miles north. At the first 
named station quite a large patch was found intimately associated 
with Asarum Canadense on the alluvial bank of the creek under 
the shade of a large sugar maple and a clump of Neillia opult- 
folia. (Dr. Torrey, on the authority of Dr. Bradley, reports the 
plant in Cattaraugus Co. Not found in the Cayuga nor Broome 
regions.) 
Euphorbia corollata, L., a few individuals found on “ Spanish 
Hill,” near the mouth of the creek, but full and typical. (Not 
mentioned in the ‘Cayuga Flora,” still we found a large 
growth of this species, in 1880, about a mile from McLean, N.Y., 
within the limits of that region; not found in Broome Co. Dr. 
Torrey, in New York State Flora, reports the plant, on the au- 
thority of Dr. Knieskern, as being found on the rocky banks of 
the Chemung river; our station, “ Spanish Hill,” is between this 
river and Cayuta Creek. We have no knowledge of the plant in 
_ Chemung Co., though Dr. Lucy may still report it.) 
Asclepias tuberosa, L., “ Spanish Hill.” (This species is un- 
_common along the southern tier; we have met with it in Che- 
* Both this species and its var. ambigua, Gray, occur in eastern New Jersey and 
on Staten Island, and the type is found also on Long Island.—Eps. 2
