Dr. N. L. Britton gave an account of " An undescribed species 

 of Stackys" remarking that many North American species 

 were until a few years ago referred to the Stocky s palustris of 

 Europe, but have more recently been recognized as distinct. A 

 plant which grows on the sand hills along the beach near New 

 Dorp, Staten Island, is really very different from the European S. 

 pdJustris, and may safely be considered a new species. It has 

 been collected in Michigan by Mr. Farwell and a specimen from 

 Illinois is in the Chapman Herbarium. The species is apparently 

 confined to sandy shores.
