3 VIOLA EMARGINATA IN MassACHUsETTS.— In his treatment of the 
z violets in the seventh edition of Gray’s Manual Doctor Brainerd gives 
E. the known range of Viola emarginata Le Conte as extending no further 
x north than New Jersey. Some years earlier this violet had been 
i . attributed to New York on the strength of certain specimens from 
"s Staten Island that were then accepted as this species. But that 
3 was at a time of transition in our knowledge of violets when scarcely 
anyone was thinking of hybrid forms, Doctor Brainerd alone being in 
advance of the time, and these Staten Island specimens that looked 
3 like Viola emarginata turned out to be in reality crosses, some of them 
os mixtures of Viola Brittoniana and Viola sagittata, and others hybrids 
ga of Viola fimbriatula. Subsequently, in 1910, the species was definitely 
added to the flora of New York, now actually from Staten Island, by 
Doctor Dowell, who collected it there first in 1907 (Bull. Torr. Club. 
37: 166). 
It is rather singular that this violet has never been reported from 
Long Island, for it is common there, not only on the coastal plain 
but also in the hilly country north of the terminal moraine. So well 
distributed is it in southwestern Long Island, for a violet not to be 3!

a very perfect foliar development but, apparently, not fruiting very
