REPORT OF THE STATE BOTANIST I9II 41 



Lonicera xylosteum L. 



Well established in the woods south of Kenwood. May. S. H. 

 Burnham. 



Lysimachia punctata L. 

 Roadsides near Randolph, Cattaraugus co. August. W. B. Lini- 

 berger. Plants with whorled flowers only. 



Lysimachia thyrsiflora L. 

 A peculiar form of this plant was collected near Canandaigua in 

 July by Miss E. C. Webster. It has a terminal raceme which gives 

 the plant the general appearance of Lysimachia terrestris 

 (L.) BSP. The flowers are more closely placed, the pedicels are 

 shorter and the petals and sepals are marked by dots instead of 

 lines or dashes as in that species. There are also two short opposite 

 thyrselike racemes just below the terminal one, and two longer 

 and looser clusters among the leaves beneath. These are distant 

 fiom each other with two leafy branches between them. The single 

 contributed specimen suggests the possibility of its being a hybrid 

 between L. thyrsiflora L. and L. terrestris (L.) BSP. 



Mentha gentilis L. 



Introduced and occurring specially in waste places in gardens 

 and in dooryards. Kingsbury, Washington co. August. S. H. 

 Burnham. It is recognizable at a glance by its variegated leaves, 

 these having" whitish or pale yellowish stripes along the principal 

 veins. 



Merulius ulmi Pk. 



The type specimens of this species were found on dead branches 

 of elm. It has been found at Orient Point growing on bayberry, 

 M y r i c a carolinensis Mill. The former specimens are sterile 

 and have the hymenium brighter colored than the latter. The spores 

 in these are globose and 4-5 n in diameter. 



Osmunda cinnamomea bipinnatifida Clute 



Woods south of Kenwood. May. S. H. Burnham. It differs 

 from the common form in having some of the lower pinnae pin- 

 natifid. 



Plowrightia morbosa (Schw.) Sacc. 

 Specimens illustrative of the different effects of the black knot on 

 the host plant were collected on chokecherry, Pruinis v i r -
