Senecio crawfordii. — Originally discovered at Tullj^town, Pa., this 

 species has recently been found at several points on the New Jersey 

 side of the river. 



Among rare species marked in Dr. Britton's Catalogue as not recently 

 collected several have been rediscovered : 



Triglochin maritima was found at Point Pleasant bv Mr. Stewardson 

 Brown, July 22, 1902. 



Tofieldia racemosa, collected by i\Ir. C. F. Saunders between Atsion 

 and Tuckerton on July 4, 1899, and later found in abundance at several 

 places near Speedwell and at High Bridge by the speaker. 



Lilceopsis lineata. — Perhaps the most interesting discovery of the 

 present year was the finding by Mr. Van Pelt and the speaker of this 

 obscure little plant about a mile below Palermo, where a fresh spring 

 bubbles up out of the salt marsh, making a hard sandy bottom which 

 was literally covered with Lilceopsis. The plant has been unknown 

 from the State since its discovery by Thomas Nuttall, nearly one 

 hundred years ago, "in a salt marsh near Egg Harbor." As the 

 present spot is only a few miles from the shore of Egg Harbor it is 

 quite possible that it is Nuttall's original locality.
