had the appearance of having been abandoned for many years. In this 

 clearing the purple foxglove was holding its own with grass and weeds ; 

 ihere were many plants five feet high, and varieties with both white and 

 l)uri)le flowers were present. Its companion was the sweet william, Dianthus 

 borbatiis L. We were informed that these plants had been growing wild 

 there for over thirty-five years. 



Solidago lepida DC, var. molina Fernald 

 Woolly Goldenrod 



In 1916, while engaged in a botanical survey of a part of the south shore 

 of Lake Superior, the writer collected near L'Anse, Baraga County, and 

 also in Houghton County a very woolly stemmed goldenrod, usually in open 

 places not far from the lake shore. Specimens were referred to Mr. K. K. 

 Mackenzie, who identified them as S. lepida Fernald, the original de- 

 scription of which appeared in Rhodora, Vol. 17, p. 8 (1915). 



Adenocaulon bicolor Hook 

 Adenocaulon 



As far as can be ascertained Michigan botanists know very little about 

 this plant. The range is given in Gray as "Moist woods, shores of Lake 

 Huron, Lake Superior, and westward," in Britton and Brown as "In moist 

 woods, northern Michigan and Lake Superior to British Columbia, Mon- 

 tana and California," and in the Michigan Flora as "Ontonagon River, 

 U. P." In June, 1916, the writer found it to be plentiful near Peter White 

 Camp in the western part of Alger County, and again, in September of the 

 same year, in open hardwoods at the foot of Huron Mountain in the north- 

 western part of Marquette County. 



Hieracium aurantiacum L. 



Orange Hawkweed 



The orange hawkweed is now well known in the state, especially in tlie 

 Lower Peninsula, and the manuals give it a wide range as a weed and per>t 

 from Europe. Curiously enough, it has only once been recorded for Michi- 

 gan, — -in the writer's Mackinac Island list. In the late Prof. C. F. Wheel- 

 er's annotated copy of Beal and Wheeler's Michigan Flora is the note 

 "Hicraclnni aiiraiitiacuui is becoming a weed near Huron (Lenawee 

 County)." It is omitted in the last Michigan Flora. In 1912, the writer 

 examined the wild plants on or near Lake Huron shore from near Bay City 

 to Mackinaw City. This species was abundant in fields and on roadsides 

 just north of Alpena, where farmers reported that it had been noted for 

 many years, and it was common even in the open woods from Alpena to 

 Mackinaw City.
