* Aster longifolius, A. concinnus and A. tradescanti have been recorded in 

 the New Jersey lists as occurring within our range, but no herbarium speci- 

 mens are extant, and our field researches have failed to detect them. These 

 facts, together with the general difficulty in correctly naming species of this 

 genus, are, I think, sufficient excuse for ignoring them for the present.
