Grindelia squarrosa nuda (Wood) Gray 

 Cobbs Hill reservoir. Rochester. November. Miss F. Beck- 

 with. This variety differs from the typical form in its flower heads 

 having no ray flowers. 



Habenaria ciliaris (L.) R. Br. 

 Fruiting specimens of this pretty orchidaceous plant were col- 

 lected in August in a low but not wet piece of ground near Karner. 

 Scarcely more than a dozen plants of it have been seen here any 

 season since its discovery several years ago. The past season there 

 were eleven. The vicinity has been deprived of most of its larger 

 trees in comparatively recent years, yet the yellow fringed orchis 

 is perpetuating itself well in spite of its changed environment. It 

 probably could be cultivated if given a soil similar to that which it 

 now occupies. 



Hypholoma rigidipes Pk. 

 This mushroom was discovered two years ago at North River. 

 Mr F. S. Boughton has added a second station for it by finding 

 it near Pittsford in October. 



Lachnea hemisphaerica pusilla n. var. 

 Cups small, 1.5-4 mm broad; spores uninucleate. In other 

 respects like the typical form. Exsiccated water holes. Remsen. 

 August. 



Lactarius minusculus Burl. 

 Damp ground under or near pine trees. North River. Septem- 

 ber. In these specimens the milk was sparse or entirely absent, the 

 pileus was viscid and the taste acrid. The color of the pileus is 

 orange brown, sometimes darker in the center *han on the margin. 



Lepiota rhacodes Vitt. 

 This lepiota is very rarely seen in our State. Fine specimens 

 were found near Holley, Orleans co. in October by C. A. Mabie. 



Lobelia cardinalis L. 

 A white flowered form of the showy cardinal flower was found 

 at Gull bay. Lake George in August by Mrs H. H. Murdock. 



Lonicera tatarica L. 



Pastures. Hornell. May. Two forms occur. One has young 

 flowers pink, the other white, but the flowers of both become yellow- 

 ish with age or in drying.
