68 THIRTIETH REPORT ON THE STATE MUSEUM. 
(5. ) 
REMARKS AND OBSERVATIONS. 
VIoLA SELKIRKIL Pursh. 
Oneida. According to Mr. Warne’s observations the flower- 
ing period of this plant continues considerably longer than the 
time indicated in Paine’s Catalogue. 
DROSERA LONGIFOLIA JL. 
A dwarf form, bearing but a single terminal flower, occurs at 
Calamity Pond, Adirondack Mts. 
RHUS COPALLINA JZ. 
Green Island and Center. 
RHUS VENENATA DC. 
Not uncommon in swampy places about Albany. It is gene- 
rally supposed that the poisonous properties of this plant are 
to be dreaded only while the tree is living, but several cases 
have been reported to me in which persons were severely 
poisoned from using the wood as fuel. 
UTRICULARIA RESUPINATA Geen. 
Shallow water along the shores of Lake Jimmy and Lake 
Sallie, Adirondack Mts. August. 
ATRIPLEX PATULA JZ. 
This is evidently spreading and becoming quite common 
about Albany. 
PINUS RESINOSA Ait. 
Portage. Clinton. A beautiful grove of young trees of this 
species occurs at Long Lake, Hamilton county. I have seen it 
at Center, in Sandlake, on the Catskill and the Helderberg 
mountains and in several places in the northern counties where 
it is by no means rare. The cones, so far as I have observed, 
are not always deciduous after the falling of the seed, nor are 
they terminal except when quite young, the prolongation of 
the branch soon rendering them lateral. Frequently two and 
sometimes three generations of fully developed cones may be 
seen ona branch at one time. The species may be separated 
from Pinus mitis by the absence of prickles on the cone scales 
and by the longer leaves which occur only in pairs. 
Pinus BANKsSIANA Lambert. 
Having comer southern specimens of Pinws inops Ait. 
with the New York specimens formerly reported as P. inops, 
Tam satisfied that the latter should be referred to P. Banksiana,
