the commonest species of the genus in rich, moist woodlands, while 
Viola pallens (V. blanda Auth. not Ait.) with which

Rhodiola rosea Linn. 
(Sedum roseum Scop., Sedum rhodiola DC.) 
Limestone cliffs at Chittenango Falls. H. D. House, July 26, 
1914. No. 5730. First collected here several years ago and deter- 
mined by Dr B. L. Robinson. The colony of plants consists of less 
than a dozen individuals, tightly wedged in an almost inaccessible 
crevice of the cliff. The range of the species is chiefly subarctic, 
from Labrador to Maine and Vermont and northern Europe. The 
State herbarium contains in addition a specimen collected on the 
cliffs of the west side of Seneca lake, many years ago by Samuel 
H. Wright M. D., and which has seemingly passed unquestioned as 
Sedum telephioides Michx., which it was labeled. The fruit 
character, however, consisting of four erect folicles with their tips 
barely spreading, serves to distinguish it readily from Sedum 
telephioides, which possesses usually five distinctly spread- 
ing folicles. According to the books Rhodiola rosea has 
also been collected on the cliffs of the Delaware river in eastern 
Pennsylvania.
