128 Rhodora [July 



E. TESSELATA (Lodd.) A. A. Eaton. Barkhamsted and Beacon Falls 

 (A. E. Blewitt). The latter station a southward extension of range. 



Salix pextandra L. Bridgeport (Eames), New Haven (A. E. 

 Blewitt). 



S. SERissiMA (Bailey) Fernald. New Haven (J. A. Allen; specimen 

 in Herb. Conn. Agr. Exp. Sta. Rhodora, xiv. 80). In the Catalogue 

 reported only from the northwestern part of the state. 



S. subsericea (Anders.) Schneider. Hartland (Bissell & 

 Weatherby). 



* S. ROSTRATA Richards., var. capreifolia Fernald. Rhodora, 

 xvi. 177 (1914). By a woodland path in rather wet ground, Barkham- 

 sted (A. E. Blewitt). 



* Myrica Gale L., var. subglabra (Chevalier) Fernald. Rho- 

 dora, xvi. 167 (1914). This variety with the leaves glabrous or glab- 

 rate beneath is now known from Norwich (W. A. Setchell) and 

 Salisbury (Weatherby), and probably occurs elsewhere. 



Betula LENTA L. A form which is somewhat intermediate between 

 and possibly a hybrid of, this species and B. I idea has been described 

 as B. aUcgheniensis Britton and is rare in the western part of the state 

 (Eames). 



t B. NIGRA L. Several young trees on reclaimed land at Bridgeport, 

 where probably introduced (Eames). 



QuERCUS MuHLENBERGii Engclm. Rocky hillside in Wilton (W. J. 

 Comstock, G. P. Ells and H. W. Beers). 



Q. RX^BRA L., var. ambigua (Michx.) Fernald. Oxford and Seymour 

 (Harger), Cornwall (R. C. Benedict; specimen in Herb. N. Y. Bot. 

 Gard.). Probably of wider distribution. 



Broussoxetia papyrifera (L.) Vent. An additional station in 

 Norwalk (Eames). Roadsides: Stamford and Greenwich (W. H. 

 Hoyt). 



RuMEx mexicanus Meisn. Old Lyme (Graves, A. E. Blewitt), 

 Cheshire and Naugatuck (A. E. Blewitt), Salisbury (Mrs. C. S. 

 Phelps, Rhodora, xvi. 96). Occasional in the southwestern part of 

 the state (Eames). 



R. ALTissiMUS Wood. In the fresh green state the fruiting calyx 

 commonly bears a uniformly large tubercle on each lobe; tw^o of 

 them shrinking but little more than the other until full maturity — 

 a fact that has given cause for some confusion in field studies of this 

 species. Occasional on banks and shores along tidewater of the 

 Housatonic River (Eames).
