ROSACE.'E, 



193a. PoTENTiLLA RECTA, Willcl. — This species has been found only 

 within a few days growing in Kdeii Park by Miss Sarah C. Stubbs. It is 

 a strong growing species, two or three feet high, with five to seven cut- 

 serrate leaflets, and large light yellow flowers. It is by far the handsom- 

 est Potentilla yet found here. 



HAiMAMELACEiE. 



219a. LiQUiDAMBAR IStyraciflua, L. — Sweet Gum. A quite hardy 

 tree, planted by the late Dr John A. Warder, at North Bend, 0. It has 

 been observed in the woods near Mt. Healthy by Mr. Morgan, It grows 

 abundantly throughout Kentucky. 



halorage^. 



220. Myriophyllum. — There are four species of this genus given in 

 the catalogue on the authority of Mr. Clark. None have, as far as is 

 known, been identified here of late years. They should be looked for in 

 ponds and pools. An investigation of the canal basin near the Work-house, 

 and of Ross Lake, would perhaps add to our knowledge of them. Other 

 water plants, too, are likely to be discovered in these places. 



onagrace^. 



232a Jussi^A leptocarpa, Nuttall. — This species is a strictly south- 

 ern one, and was found on a floating log at the mouth of the Licking River 

 by Mr. Lloyd. The following is the description, taken from Chapman's 

 Flora of the Southern States, page 140: 



"Hairy; stem erect, at length much branched; leaves lanceolate, acute; 

 flowers small; calyx lobes mostly six, as long as the petals; capsule linear, 

 cylindrical, much longer than the pedicel. Marshes, Florida and west- 

 ward, June, September. Stem, two feet to five feet high; capsule, one and 

 a half inches long, slightly curved." 



It is to be hoped that this species will be found again. At present, 

 however, it can not be claimed as belonging to our permanent flora. 



umbellifer^. 



243. Caucalis anthriscus, Huds. — First discovered by Mr. C. G. 

 Lloyd at Mt. Lookout, it has since been found by others, and is becoming 

 thoroughly naturalized. . It is supposed that it was first introduced with 

 some imported cattle of Mr. Kilgour's. It cannot be considered a desira- 

 ble addition to our flora. As the species is not noticed in any of our
