Dr. N. L. Britton exhibited a series of lantern-slides of cross- 
sections of North American Woods, prepared by Mr. R. B. Hough. 
WEDNESDAY EVENING, May 29TH, 1895. 
Vice-President Lighthipe in the chair and 32 persons present. 
Miss Rose T. Roux, Mr. James A. Graves and Mr. Frederick 
King Vreeland were elected active members. 
Mr. Barnhart reported the occurrence of Azalea lutea L. (A. 
calendulacea Michx.) in an apparently native state near Tarrytown, 
N. Y., and remarked on the distribution of this spccies, which is 
not recorded in recent writings from further northeast than the 
mountains of Pennsylvania. Dr. Britton called the attention of 
the Club to the recorded occurrence of a yellow-flowered Azalea 
in southern New York by Governor Cadwallader Colden about 
the middle of the last century, and that Colden’s account of it had 
been made a part of the citations by Linnaeus of his Azalea lutea 
in 1753. Linnaeus later abandoned the name /ztea on account of 
having received specimens of the pink-flowered species which he 
described as A. nudifiora in 1762, supposing them to be the same. 
Mr. Barnhart’s discovery is an interesting confirmation of the posi- 
tion taken in the recently issued “List of Northeastern North 
American Plants” that the name A. /utea L. must sekgeeeas A. calen- 
dulacea Michx. 
Mr. Barnhart also reported that A/iaria Alliaria, found by him 
last year at Hastings, N. Y., had this year spread over a consider- 
able area and was well established. 
The announced paper of the evening was read by Mr. A. A. 
Tyler on ‘Stipules in the Family Rosaceae,” illustrated by speci- 
mens and drawings. It was discussed by Dr. Schneider and Dr. 
Britton. 
The Club then adjourned to the second Tuesday evening in 
October.
