NOTES UPON LOCAL FLORAS 
BY HOMER D. HOUSE 
1 FULTON COUNTY 
A recent collection of over 400 specimens of Fulton county plants, 
presented to the State herbarium by the collectors, Messrs A. Olsson 
and Alexander, of Gloversville, contains many interesting and rare 
species, not a few of which are new to that region and a few were 
previously unknown in this State. Nearly one-third of the col- 
lection consists of grasses and sedges which forms a valuable addi- 
tion to our knowledge of those plants in the region covered by 
their collections. 
Artemisia vulgaris Linn. 
Gloversville, June 7, 1913. Like several other species of Arte- 
mesia, this one, commonly called mugwort, is frequently a common 
weed in waste places. 
Arisaema dracontium (L.) Schott. 
Vlei, August 6, 1913. No. 104. 
Aster macrophyllus Linn. 
Summit of Mount Pinnacle, August 31, 1913. No. 122. 
The specimens are intermediate between A. macrophyllus 
and A. multiformis Burgess. They possess the reddish, 
angular stems, broad basal leaves cordate with deep irregular sinus, 
thick rough texture and the short, rigid, thickish peduncles charac- 
teristic for A. macrophyllus. Neither the inflorescence nor 
the stems, however, possess any prominent capitate glands but 
under the lens are seen to possess a densely and minutely glandular 
character, which is almost hidden in a dense soft pubescence. 
~ Acer nigrum Michx. 
Exact locality not given, July 3, 1912. No. 230. 
Agrimonia mollis (T. & G.) Britton 
Gloversville, August 15, 1913. No. 18o. 
Aster lowrieanus Porter
