Notes and Queries—During a short stay in Barre, Vermont, in 
the summer of 1893, I noticed two or three plants, not credited to 
that State in Gray’s Manual, that may be of.interest. — 
Epilobium strictum Muh. was frequently seen, and seems well 
distributed over the State. 
fimbriaria tenella Nees. 1 found but once by a trout stream. 
Gray’s Manual gives its range as “Central New York to Missouri 
and southward.” ; 
Mentha gentilis L. grows about many of the farm houses, and 
has sometimes wandered to the brook sides. I found it in abun- 
dance by a little run fully a quarter of a mile from a house. 
ts Bazzania trilobata S. F. Gray, poisonous ?-—In the spring of 
'93 I had several tadpoles and earth worms in a fish globe. I fed 
them upon Zillandsia usneoides, upon which they seemed to thrive; 
after three weeks I threw in a bit of Bazzania, and in three hours 
all were dead. 0 ee

Scutellaria resinosa Torr.—If the description of the species — 
given under this name in Dr. Gray’s Synoptical Flora (p. 381) be 
compared with the references there cited, it will be found that they ay 
do not agree. The true S. vesinosaof Torrey, collected during Long's 
First Expedition and published in the Annals of the New York Ly- 
ceum (2: 232) and by Bentham, in D.C. Prodr. (12: 427), is beyond 
question nothing else than S. Wrighttt A. Gray, published long alter 
(Feb. 1872) in the Proceedings of the American Academy. : This af 
is clear both from the descriptions and the type specimen ss inl 
Torrey Herbarium: It differs from the Colorado plant in its : 
Strong woody root, branching stems, round leaves, smaller flowers — 
and shorter corolla-tubes. Its range extends from Kansas to : 
Texas and thence westward to the Huachuca Mountains of Arizona, 2 
€ other species is most common in the Rocky Mountains of 
Colorado and being thus deprived of the name resinosa Lbentow.
