Eriophorum paucinervum (Engelm.) A. A. Eaton 
Castle swamp, Oneida. H. D. House. No. 1134. 
Daphne mezereum Linn. 
This attractive shrub seems to have become established as a 
permanent member of our flora. It has been reported two or three 
times by Doctor Peck from various parts of the State and specimens 
have been sent in for identification from several widely separated 
localities within the past two years. It appears to be well established

5205; 1913).

plant where I first found it several years ago ( no. 1163; 1905). 
Isotria verticillata (L.) Raf. 
Fiddlers’ Green, Pecksport, near Eaton. H.D. House. No. 1248.
