Reseda lutea. We notice a reference in the June BULLETIN to 
Reseda lutea L., having been found in New Jersey. 
In July of 1894 we collected specimens of this plant in mead- 
ows at East Windsor, Ct., on what could not have been ballast 
ground. C. H. BIssE.. 
Reseda lutea was collected by Miss Powers at Baldwins, Long 
Island, in 1895, and has been reported to me from Michigan, by

Erythea. The editor of the “ Journal of Botany,” in referring 
(June issue, p. 280) to the part of Professor Greene’s “ Pittonia” 
recently distributed, makes a statement concerning “ Erythea” 
which is about as accurate as his recently printed tabulation of the 
dates of publication of the BULLETIN during 1895. He says “ Ery- 
thea, of which Prof. Greene was the moving spirit, seems to have 
come to an end, no number having appeared since December 
last.” As the journal has been issued every month, this state- 
ment can only be understood by realizing that a restricted or in- 
sular notion as to the significance of “‘ to appear” pervades the 
mind of the learned editor.
