112 TWENTY-SEVENTH REPORT ON THE STATE MUSEUM. 
Nagsatus Boorri DC. : 
Iam not aware that this species has been found anywhere 
on the Adirondack Mts., except on the summit of Whiteface, 
and I greatly fear it will soon be exhausted or trodden out 
from this station which is now so frequently visited by tour- 
ists and others. Its near ally, V.naziws, occurs everywhere 
on the higher summits and slopes of these mountains. 
DIPLOPAPPUS UMBELLATUS 7. &G. | 
Among the Adirondacks this plant is greatly reduced in 
size and frequently bears no more than six to ten heads of 
flowers. But notwithstanding the elevation and coolness oz 
the locality itas in flower there by the middle of August. 
RHODODENDRON MAXIMUM JL. 
Near Chapel Pond, Essex county. 0O. 8. Phelps. It is 
also very abundant in Forestburgh, Sullivan county, where 
it forms dense and almost impenetrable thickets. 
CAMPANULA ROTUNDIFOLIA JL. 
This plant manifests a tendency to sport. Small flower- 
less specimens collected near Port Jervis have the rounded 
leaves on the upper part of the stem, the linear leaves being 
below them. | 
RHINANTHUS CRISTA-GALLI Z. 
Summit of Haystack Mt. It is interesting to note that in 
this locality as well as in the neighboring one on Mt. Marcy 
this plant occupies the southern inclination of the exposed 
summit, where it isin a measure protected from the bleak 
northwesterly winds. It was not found on Skylight, whose 
broad open summit gave promise of a fine botanical field. 
Perhaps the very broad and nearly flat summit of this 
mountain does not afford a sufficiently protected southern 
inclination for it.

Long Pond, Wading River. Young. 
ARCEUTHOBIUM PUSILLUM PA. 
| Forestburgh. It is more abundant there than in the 
Sandlake locality. In one instance it was growing in great 
profusion on an unusually thrifty-looking tree, just as if the 
luxuriance of the parasite was in proportion to that of its 
host. Both staminate and pistillate plants were occasion- 
ally seen on the same tree, but I have not yet found them 
intermingled on the same branch. The pistillate plants 
seem to be the most numerous.
