Collection dates are mostly from June 1 to Sept. 15, with a con- 

 spicuous concentration in July and August and precocious and 

 straggling individuals a few weeks outside of this range as: Apr. 16 

 at Takoma Park, Md.; Apr. 31 on the Patuxent River, Md.; May 13 

 at Falls Church, Va.; May 24 at Clinton, N. C; May 26 at Cabin 

 John, Md., and at Mount Pleasant, Iowa; May 30 at Bowie, Md.; 

 Sept. 16 at Cabin John, Md., and at Washington, D. C; Sept. 23 at 

 Bolivar, W. Va.; Oct. 1 at Arhngton, Va.; and Oct. 13 on Plummers 

 Island, Md. North of the vicinity of Washington, D. C, the dates 

 of collection do not extend so late into the fall, as indicated by the 

 extreme dates of Sept. 8 at Englenook, Pa., and Sept. 14 at Phila- 

 delphia, Pa. Twelve of the collections are labeled as having been 

 made in woods and my own experience is that the species occurs 

 almost exclusively in the herbs and shrubbery of mesophytic and 

 moist deciduous woods.
