at Rotten Pumpkin Pond, in full flower, Aug. 11, 1906. 
SPIRAEA TOMENTOSA L. ? 
Scarce, but widely scattered; often undersized. Below the

FRAGARIA VIRGINIANA Duchesne. 
Common in fields, thickets, and grassy places generally, some- 
times in pure sand. First ripe fruit June 10, I9II, but some 
plants still in blossom June 15. 
FRAGARIA VESCA L. 
Well established in the thorn lot, growing with Fragaria 
virginiana in the grass along the fences. Green fruit and some 
remaining flowers June 19, 1910. Rather a small form of the 
species, the fruit hemispheric to subglobose.

smaller than those of Argentina litoralis, spreading 2-2.8 cm.,
