 xiii. 31). In the Catalogue not reported from Windham Co. 



CoPTis TRiFOLiA (L.) Salisb. Stamford (W. H. Hoyt). In the

* AcTAEA RUBRA (x\it.) Willd., fomia neglecta (Gillman) Robin- 

 son. Rich, rocky woods on the north slope of Canaan Mt., North 

 Canaan (Harger & Weatherby). Also reported from Mt. Totoket, 

 North Branford (O. Harger in "Berzelius" Catalogue). 



At the station in North Canaan a single plant of the form was found 

 growing with A. rubra and A. alba. The berries of A. rubra and forma 

 neglecta were mature. Those of A. alba were half-grown. Growing 

 near was another plant with the slender pedicels of A. rubra but with 

 the half-grown fruit of A. alba and with leaves more nearly like the 

 latter. The different combinations of characters suggest that one or 

 both of these forms may be of hybrid origin. — E. B. Harger. •

*S. variifolium (Salisb.) Ktze., var. albidum (Nutt.) Fernald.
