168 Rhodora [SEPTEMBER 
The species grows in colonies on a slightly elevated sandy plain, over 
an area which I should estimate to be more than twenty-five acres. 
These colonies are very numerous and some of them are quite large. 
On June 9, 1914, practically all the colonies were loaded with fruit. 
I collected from this station in 1903 but the specimens were destroyed 
by accident a few years later. Plants collected in June, 1914, have 
been deposited in the Gray Herbarium. "The West Haven Station, 
reported by Mr. A. E. Blewitt (Rnopona 15:43), is apparently dis- 
tinct from the present station, as extensive salt marshes, and a level 
tract on which the species does not occur in noticeable quantity, 
intervene between the two stations.— R. W. Woopwarp, New Haven, 
Connecticut. 
Vol. 16, no. 188, including pages 137 to 152, was issued 17 August, 1914.
