A critical examination of the above catalogue suggests some 

 remarks. Ranunculus affinis and R. cardiopliyllus will by 

 some authors be referred to R. auricomus Linn., which, however, is 

 a known British-American plant, and is absent from the United 

 States flora; Geum geniculatum, Angelica lucida, and Aster 

 cornuti are species of which not much is known ; Carex Macounii 

 and Triticum Macounii were only discovered about two years 

 since, and, when their range is more fully known, may be found 

 to occur south of the lakes; Sium latifolium Prof. Gray rejects 

 from his manual as erroneously applied to the broad-leaved form of 

 & linear e Michx., and here a similar mistake may probably have 

 been made ; and Equisetum littorale perhaps requires confirmation. 

 Prof. Gray, again, in the manual, takes no notice of Arab-is 

 brachycarpa, which Torrey and Gray locate at Fort Gratiot, 

 Michigan ; of Nardosmia frigida (to which N. sagittata Hook. 

 is referred) which, on Pursh's authority, occurs on the highest 

 mountains of Vermont and New Hampshire; of Ledum palustre, 

 whose occurence in Vermont and Pennsylvania is mentioned by 

 Beck ; or of Penstemon gracilis, to which Wood gives a place in 

 his flora, with Chicago as a locality. It should be further 

 observed that Matricaria inodora is adventive though not native 

 in Maine. Aster borealis, Prov., if a good species, and not a 

 variety of A. aestivus, must be added to the list. If the twelve 



^Editor's Note. — My esteemed correspondent, the late Mr. Horace 

 Mann, sent me specimens of this fern, collected by himself on Willough- 

 hy Mountain, Vermont. Lycopodium alpinum, long known as a New- 

 foundland plant, may be added to this list ; it occurs on the north shore 

 east of Point de Monts, and probably elsewhere. D. A. "W.
