Lepachyiipirumta, Tori". & Gray. I have oljserved this i);ant for several seasons, but 

 until this, have always taken it to be Eudbeckia laeimuta, L. 



Bysoditi chrymithemoides. Lag. Along road-sides inconsiderable numbers; this 

 appears to be a "new-comer" in our locality. 



Artemuia annua. From Siberia V Escai)ed from gardens; have found several speci- 

 mens along road-sides during the past summer. Our amateur gardeners liere call it 

 -'ISweet Fern Plant:'

Lycopiis EuropaeiiK, L. var.— ilave found an interesting form of this exceed. 

 ingly variable species this season growing on a bare sand-stone cliff with Pellaa 

 afriipurpurea. Link., which last is usually thought to be found only on calcareous rock. 

 Leaves ovate-lanceolate, acuminate, coarsely serrate; runners from 3— (5 ft. long, some of 

 them bearing immature flowers. 



Fravinus pubescens. Lam. Low wet woods. 



Querciis lyrata, Walt. This southern species was identilied from imi)erfect speci- 

 mens found several years ago; not having found it since, I had concluded that this was 

 a mistake, and had dropped it from my catalogue of this vicinity ; but this season I 

 have discovered quite a nvimber of trees within a few miles of Mt. Carmsl. 



Hybri I of Qmrcas imhricaria & Quirciis filcaia, Michx. During the past season I 

 found a small fruitless oak-tree; from specimeps of it sent Ih: Enyelmann he thinks it a

FissiDENS DECii'iEXs, Dc Notaris . — Mr. Ran desires me to make this correction, as 

 1 had wrongly attributed this species to Mr. Austin. It is described in the Supplement 

 to Sullivant's Icone» Muscoruin. — A. H. Y.
