REPOR‘% OF THE BO1ANIST. 101 
Prmovta Misrassinica Wiche. 
Portage. Clinton. 
Fracaria vesca L. 
The white-fruited form of this species is abundant in Skanea- 
teles. S. V. Cowles. It also occurs in Nassau, Rensselaer county, 
and in Bethlehem, Albany county. By cultivation, the appear- 
ance of the plant is considerably changed. The flowering stems 
become elongated and dichotomously branched above, the primary 
division is subtended by a well developed leat and the fruit is pro- 
duced throughout the season. It would make a fine addition to 
the ordinary - varieties cultivated by gardeners. 
JUNCUS ALPINUS V. INSIGNIS /7. 
Sodus Point, Lake Ontario. Hankenson. 
_DanTHONIA coMPREssA Aust. 
Mr. Cowles sends specimens exactly intermediate between this 
species and LD. spicata, whence it is probable that the former is a 
variety of the latter dependent on locality. 
PoLypPopIUM VULGARE Vv. Campricum L. 
“ Tndian Brook,” near Cold Spring. Jfiss Sarah P. Monk. A 
sterile but most interesting variety. 
AsprpIuM ACULEATUM v. Braunt Koch. 
Stony Clove, Catskill mountains. Discovered there by J. H. 
feedfield. This locality is evidently very favorable to the growth 
of ferns. In July last, the following nineteen species were observed 
while passing along the road, about the distance of half a mile, and 
in no case going more than four rods from it. 
Polypodium vulgare Z. Aspidinm spinulosum Swartz. 
Adiantum pedatum J. A. marginale Swartz. 
Pteris aquilina LZ. ie acrostichoides Swartz. 
Asplenium thelypteroides J/z. aS aculeatum Swartz. 
A. Filix-foemina Bernh. Struthiopteris Germanica Wd. 
Phegopteris polypodioides Fee. Onoclea sensibilis Z. 
; Dryopteris ee. Woodsia Ilvensis 2. Br. 
Cystopteris bulbifera Bernh. Dicksonia punctilobula Aze. 
C. fragilis Bernh. Botrychium Virginicum Swartz. 
Aspidium Thelypteris Swartz 
The whole number of species now known to belong to the State 
is forty-four, excluding the doubtful inhabitant Zz ygodium palina- 
tum. It will thus be seen that nearly half our species occur in the 
“Stony Clove.” 
BorrycHiuM LANCEOLATUM Angst. 
This rare fern occurs on an island in Lake Mohegan. Leggett.
