Platycodon grandiflorus (Jacq.) A. de C. werd door 

 onzen oud-leerling G. Timmermans in Augs. 1919 

 gevonden te Laag-Soeren, in een bosch langs een weg 

 in het gras. De vinder schonk ons de plant als een „vreemde 

 Campanula" met de vermelding, dat hij haar in die buurt 

 niet gekweekt of verwilderd had gezien. 



Baeria coronaria (Nutt.) A. Gray stond in Juli 1919 

 ook al te Nunspeet bij het Belgisch Kamp; het volgend 

 jaar zagen wij haar als sierplant in eenige plantsoenen te 

 Rotterdam gekweekt. In Vol. I Part. II van Asa Gray's 

 Synoptical Flora of North America staat omtrent deze 

 plant het volgende: 



Tribe VI Helenioideae. 



Subtribe IV Helenieae. 



Baeria : Stead mostly many-flowered, radiate ; rays 5 

 to 15, conspicuous. Bracts of the campanulate or hemis- 

 pherical involucre as many, ovate or oblong, plane or 

 becoming somewhat carinate at middle, at least below.
