one of the rare plants of New York. The range of Gray’s Man- 
ual, Massachusetts to Minnesota, to be sure includes New York, 
but specific instances of its occurrence in the State are not forth- 
coming. It is not included in Dr. Tofroy’s Flora of New York, 
neither is it catalogued in Paine’s “Plants of Oneida County and 
Vicinity,” in the «Cayuga Flora,” nor in the “Plants of Buffalo 
and Vicinity.” Mr. David F. Day writes, that until the present 
instance, he never had heard of it as occurring in this State. It is 
mentioned in the preliminary catalogue of plants growing within 
one hundred miles of New York City, but the locality is not 
stated. Unless this last citation be based on a New York local- 
ity, I believe that the present is the first recorded instance of the 
occurrence of the species in New York State.
