R. PHOENicoLASius Maxim. Plainville (Andrews). Several addi- 

 tional stations have been observed in the southwestern part of the 

 state, where, no doubt, it has been partly distributed by birds. 



t R. ROSAEFOLius Smith. Rare. At a time said to have been more 

 than twenty years ago, introduced into a garden in Huntington, where 

 it became a nuisance. Efforts have been made to eradicate it, but a 

 small colony persists in a rocky waste on the premises. The flowers 

 are single and it is said to form some fruit. (Eames and C. C. Godfrey). 

 Native of the Orient. 



* R. CANADENSIS L. Most of the material referred in the Catalogue 

 to R. Randii belongs under this species, which occurs through northern 

 Connecticut as far east as Union (Graves) and as far south as Danbury 

 (A. E. Blewitt). One specimen collected at Salisbury by Bissell agrees 

 well with authentic material of R. Randii; but R. Randii is probably 

 only a weak form of R. canadensis.
