county, where it was found by Mr Olsson, is difficult to imagine, 
as that locality is not close to any main lines of travel or transporta- 
tion. 
Oenothera oakesiana Robbins 
Collected near Gloversville by Mr Olsson. This species was 
formerly considered to be a variety of O. biennis by Dr Asa 
Gray, but recent books have given it specific rank. Its range is 
given as “sandy fields, etc., eastern Mass. to Conn.” In 1902 
Professor Peck collected it at Port Jefferson, Long Island, but 
made no report of it, and with the Fulton county station extends 
considerably the known range of the species. 
Ophrys australis (Lindl.) House 
(Listera australis Lindl.) 
This is a common but inconspicuous member of the orchid family 
throughout the southern states and has been found as far north- 
ward as near Camden, N. J. (reported by Barton in 1818), and 
near North Hammonton, N..J., where it was collected in 1908 by 
G. W. Bassett. 
From here its distribution takes a broad jump and the species 
reappears at several widely separated localities in central New York 
and northward to Ottawa, Canada, which is the most northerly 
station known for the species. It was recently collected at Fine, 
St Lawrence county, by Dr C. H. Peck, and was found many years 
ago in the Lily marsh near Oswego, by Rev. J. H. Wibbe, where 
it still occurs abundantly. In Onondaga county it has been found 
near Baldwinsville by Doctor Beauchamp and by Prof. L. M. Under- 
wood, in Cicero swamp by Mrs L. L. Goodrich, author of the 
“Flora of Onondaga County.” In Fulton county it was collected 
by Mr C. P. Alexander in 1912, and by Mr A. Olsson in 1913 
(No. 287) at Canada lake. 
Panicum subvillosum Ashe 
Berkshire, June 19, 1912. No. 394. Only one other collection 
of this species in New York outside of Long Island, where several 
collections of it were made by Bicknell, is cited by Hitchcock and 
Chase in the Revision of North American Panicums. That col- 
lection was made at Verona, Oneida county, by Dr J. V. Haberer 
in 1900. 
Panicum tennesseense Ashe 
Sacandaga Park, July 5, 1912. No. 98. The Tennessee Panicum 
ranges from Maine to Ontario, Minnesota, Mississippi and Georgia.
