Botanical Notes. 



Nezv Localities. — Collections made during the past two or 

 three seasons have shown me several instances in which the 

 limits of species as given in the " New Manual " must be ex- 

 tended. 



During the summer I collected Riibus cuncifolius in the vicin- 

 ity of Bridgeport, Conn., growing on dry rocky hillsides, and a 

 few miles back in the country, Callitrichc deflcxa, var. Austini, by 

 the roadside. Both of these are recorded from New York and 

 should be looked for in Connecticut, but are not mentioned by 

 Gray. Diodia teres, is given in the " Manual " as extending 

 from New Jersey to West Illinois, Missouri and Texas. This is 

 quite abundant on the beach at Black Rock, near Bridgeport. 

 Another stray, which I understand is becoming common in the 

 east, is Plantago Patagonica, var. aristata. This was found at 



Bridgeport this season. 



At Evanston, 111., last spring,, I found a bed of Plantago Vir- 



ginica, which the '* Manual " 



New England to southern Illinois and south. It grew in a field 



near Lake Michigan and if introduced is well established. 



Cycloloma platyphyllum occurs rather abundantly in driftin 

 sand in a field near the shore to the south of Evanston. 



The latest, and to me the most interesting; find was made near 

 the last of August at Edsemoor in northern Indiana. There I

found Utricnlaria resiipinala growing In abundance along the 

 edge of a marshy pond. The nearest station, according to the 

 " Manual," is Presque Isle, Lake Erie. " L. N. JOTLXSON.

A new Locality for Asplenium ehenoides. — I have to report a 

 locality for Asplemiim ebenoides which, to the best of my knowl- 

 edge, has not been reported. The locality is " Gulp's hill/' Get-
