Found only on the coast from Sandy Hook to Wildwood. 

 Originally discovered on "Absecon Beach" [= Atlantic City] 

 by D. C. Eaton in i860, and by E. Diffenbaiigh at about the same 

 time or earlier. Their station was no doubt in the wooded tract 

 near Ventnor, as the other stations farther south are both on 

 wooded islands. 



This is a boreal species extending- down the coast from Maine, 

 and is one of several northern species which are found in southern 

 New Jersey only on the coast islands. Dr. Britton's statement 

 that this and the following are adventive form farther west does 

 not seem to be correct in light of our present knowledge. 



Coast Strip.— Sandy Hook (NB), Barnegat City (L), Barrel Island (L), 

 Absecon Beach (NB), Atlantic City (C)^ Avalon (KB), Five-Mile Beach. 



* Cycloloma, Winged Pigweed, has been introduced at Holly Beach and 

 Ocean City.
