 SPECIES NOT BEFORE REPORTED. 



Tilia heterophylla Venf. 



By the roadside on the east shore of Canadice lake near the outlet. 

 The tree referred to in this species has globose fruit and leaves whitened 

 beneath with a close persistent pubescence, but the leaves are stnaller 

 than the dimensions usually attributed to T. heterophylla. If we follow 

 the classification of the Manual and of Sargeant's Trees of North 

 America it will be necessary to admit this specie?, for in these works 

 T. Americana is limited to forms having ovoid fruit. Prof. Edwards 

 reports this tree as occurring on the shores of Chautauqua lake. The 

 mountains of Pennsylvania have hitherto been published as the northern 

 limit of the species. 



Tilia pubescens Ait. 



Between Canadice and Hemlock lakes. August. Our specimens 

 exhibit the small leaves and globose fruit attributed to this species, but the 

 leaves are as glabrous beneath as in T. Americana. These three species 

 are evidently closely allied and it would not be strange if a close study of 

 them should reveal connecting forms. Indeed the forms here noticed 

 appear to be of this character, for in neither case do they fully agree with 

 the typical form of the species. T. pubescens, according to Sargeant, has 

 been found on Long Island by E. S. MilUer. 



Monarda Clinopodia L. 



Dry rocky hillsides near Rathboneville, Steuben county. August. 



Polygonum Rayi Bab. 



Menands. June. In our specimens the foliage resembles somewhat 

 that oi P. erection, but the plant is prostrate in its mode of growth.
