Cytospora chrysosperma (Pers.) Fr. 
Bark of glaucous willow, Salix discolor Muhl. Alder 
creek, Oneida co. In this form the spore tendrils assume an orange 
color instead of golden yellow as in the type. 
Flammula spumosa unicolor n. var. 
Pileus uniformly yellow; otherwise as in the type. In marshy 
woods. Karner, Albany co. July. 
Fomitiporia prunicola Murr. 
A form of this species which usually grows on trunks of wild 
bird cherry or pin cherry, Prunus pennsylvanicaL.,, was 
found growing on a trunk of the canoe birch, Betula alba 
papyrifera (Marsh.) Spach, in the Adirondack mountains. 
The form growing on canoe birch was not distinguishable in any 
way from that on cherry. It might be called Fomitiporia 
peataicola f. betuli.cola. 
Habenaria fimbriata (Ait.) R. Br. 
This large and fine purple-fringed orchis is remarkable for the 
durability of its flowers. A vase of the cut flowers has been known 
to remain perfectly fresh in appearance, at least ten days, with no 
other care than an occasional supply of fresh water. This is remark- 
able since its natural habitat is in wet marshy ground and often 
in the shade of trees. It is not rare in wooded marshes at North 
Elba. If a suitable habitat could be furnished it would make a 
fine addition to the ornamental plants of parks and gardens. 
Ilex monticola Gray 
Woodsworth lake, Fulton county. June. C. P. Alexander. This 
is an outlying station about seventy-five miles north and west of 
its nearest previously recorded localities, Taconic, Shawangunk and 
Catskill mountains, Gray’s new Manual mentions Cattaraugus 
county also as a station for it, but this is apparently a far western 
outlying station. 
Jeffersonia diphylla (L.) Pers. 
Moist woods. Pittsford. Fine flowering specimens of this rare 
plant were collected April 15th and contributed by M. S. Baxter. 
He also contributed a fine fruiting specimen from High island, 
Potomac river, Maryland.
