PLANTS NEW TO MICHIGAN. 



S. ALEXANDER. 



Chclonc ohliqiia L. Red turtle head. There is a small plantation of 

 this plant inmiediately beyond the north side of tlie right-of-way of 

 the Michigan Central R. R. Co., and on the west side of the Huron river 

 where it is first crossed by the M. C. R. R. east of Ann Arbor. There 

 were several other small plantations on the island, a little above the 

 point described but they have been destroyed by the Park Commission 

 of Ann Arbor as have many other rare and valuable plants. 



Coralorhha nuilfiffora fiarida Peck. This plant grows in the forest 

 on the Cranbrook farm, two and one-half miles northwest of Birming- 

 ham. 



Physalis macrophysa Ryd. Found at the foot of the hill northeast of 

 Dr. Newcomb's house on the way to the U. of M. botanical garden. 

 Said by Britton to be rare in Texas, Arkansas and Kansas, its most 

 northerly known limit heretofore. 



Aster fwrcutus Burgess. Found on the south side of the river Raisin, 

 about twenty rods below the bridge where the Ann Arbor R. R. crosses 

 that river at Dundee. 



The two species first mentioned were rejwrted by me to Professor Beal 

 several years ago. They were overlooked and not put in the last edition 

 of the "Michigan Flora" as they should have been. 



Ann Arbor, Mich., April 1910.
