We are pleased to report three plants new to this locality, 
Glaucium Glaucium, yellow horned sea poppy, found by Miss 
Louise Roberts near the old reservoir, in June. This is a Euro- 
pean plant and found here before, only very sparingly near the 
Atlantic coast. Miss Roberts has made efforts to perpetuate this 
plant, having collected the seeds and transplanted one of the 
roots as well as protected the roots that remained. 
To Mrs. Ackerman belongs the credit of finding in the 
southern part of the city Sanguis orba (Burnet). A specimen 
sent to Prof. Peck calls forth the fact that she has added one 
more plant to the state herbarium. ‘This plant is also introduced 
from Europe where it is used as a salad. 
During August in a lot near my house I found Crepis virens, 
not mentioned by Grey but identified through Britton’s Illus- 
trated Flora. Is noticed in the New York State annual report 
of 1864 as found in Greenwood Cemetery, Long Island, by Mr. 
Merriam, therefore not new to the state, but the next best thing, 
new to this county. Probably introduced here with grass seed. 
We can hardly claim either of these as indiginous. 
July 16, in company with two friends visited Tamerack 
swamp in search of Zigadenus elegans and Tofieldia glutinosa; 
two lillies I have never found elsewhere. Tofieldia we did not 
find though I received it from there about four weeks later, but 
Zigadenas elegans in large quantities. This plant I found in 
small quantities in Tamerac about sixteen years ago, but could 
not identify species by any of the existing botanies, though near- 
est Zigadenas Glaucus of Grey. I sent a specimen with statement 
of attempts and failures to Prof. Grey. In his reply he expressed 
great delight at receiving the first specimen he had ever seen, and 
stated that description was wrong and should be corrected in his 
next edition. 
In his last edition not completed at time of his death, it was 
so corrected under the name of Zigadenus elegans. 
We also found during that excursion Parnassia Caroliniana, 
three different pyrolas, different galliwms and two orchids. It 
appeared a grand time for a good find, for one could scarcely 
step without crushing flowers, but was an excessively warm day
