SENECIO L. 



Senecio tomentosus Michx. Woolly Squaw-weed. 



Senecio tomentosus Michaux, Fl. Bor. Am. II. 119. 1803 [Flat Rpck, 

 Carolina]. — Britton 150. — Keller and Brown 343. 



Low swampy ground near the coast miarshes, mainly of Cape 

 May County, north on the Atlantic side to West Creek and on 

 the bay side tO' Dias Creek. 



The discovery of this species in New Jersey seems to date 

 fromi June 4, 1882, when the late Isaac Burk found it at Cape 

 May Point. Curiously enough, it was obtained on June 30 of the 

 same year by Mr. Albert Commons at Ocean View. 



Fl. — Early May to early June. 



Coast Strip.— West Creek, Ocean View (NB), Cold Spring, Cape May, 

 Cape May Pt, Green Creek, Dias Creek. 



Pine Barrens. — Landisville (T), Egg Harbor City (KB), Friendship (T), 

 all apparently introductions from the coast. 



Senecio crawfordii Britton. Crawford's Squaw-weed. 



Senecio Crawfordii Britton, Torreya I. 21. [Tullytown, Pa.]. — Keller and 



Brown 343. 

 fSenecio aureus obovatus Britton 150. 



Damp meadows or bogs in the Middle district, near to the 

 Delaware River, local and not common. There is a specimen of 

 this plant in the Philadelphia Academy herbarium collected by 

 Read many years ago, labelled "S. heterophylla, N. J." It seems 

 likely also that Parker's record of "S. obovatus" from "River 

 swamp, Camden Co.," refers to this form. I doubt if it has any 

 close affinity with S. halsamitce as claimed by some recent 

 writers.* 



Pi. — Early May to early June. 



Middle District. — Between Orchard and Springdale (S). 



Senecio aureus L. Golden Ragwort or Squaw-weed. 



Senecio aureus Linnaeus, Sp. PI. 870. 1753 [Virginia and Canada]. — Britton 

 ISO.
