Shady places on limestone rocks near Jamesville, Onondaga co. 

 October. Mrs L. L. Goodrich. 



In our botanies, Pennsylvania is the northeastern limit assigned 

 to the range of this plant. Its discovery near Jamesville by Mrs 

 Goodrich extends its range northward and adds a beautiful little 

 wild flower to our flora. Its usual flowering time is in spring, 

 but these specimens were found in flower the last week in October. 

 The plants grew in patches several feet in diameter. The species 

 is described in Gray's Manual under the name Phacelia 

 parviflora Pursh, 



Phaeopezia retiderma (Cke.) Sacc. 



Ground in shaded places. Sandlake, Rensselaer co. 

 Podosphaera leucotricha (E. & E.) Salmon 



Parasitic on living twigs of appletrees. Clyde, Wayne co. W. L. 

 Devereaux. 



This species of mildew is peculiar in its perithecia having 

 two sets of appendages, one apical, the other basal. It is specially 

 injurious to the young branches of trees in the nursery, but it 

 rarely attacks the twigs of old trees, though suckers from the base 

 or roots are said to be more liable to attack.
