PLANTS FOUND GROWING SPONTANEOUSLY IN THE 
STATE AND NOT BEFORE REPORTED, 
AconituM NAPELuLus Z. 
Along the upper waters of the Beaver Kill, Ulster county. 
fev. A. P. Van Gieson. 
The specimens show a loose paniculate inflorescence quite 
unlike the ordinary form seen in gardens. The flowers are 
few and on widely diverging slender branches, and the 
leaves are not as finely dissected as usual. The plants were 
found in a wild unsettled region far from any present habi- 
tation, though the Rev. Mr. Van Gieson writes me that 
many years ago, thirty to fifty, a family settled in this part 
of the valley of the stream. Though their stay was short, 
he suggests this settlement as a possible explanation to the 
introduction of the plant into this singular locality. Its 
modified character may perhaps be due to the fact that it 
was left to run wild in a not very congenial locality. And 
yet it is alittle remarkable that a plant rarely found with us 
‘shifting for itself’ should be so thoroughly naturalized 
in this remote spot. It is desirable that its history and cha- 
racter should be further investigated.
