(Shcklcn, 1879) and Barcelona, on shore of Lake Erie (J. R. 

 Churchill, August u, 1896). 



Potentilla paradoxa Nuttall 

 Very abundant on the sand bar at the outlet of Braddock's bay, 

 Monroe county (H. D. House and E. P. Killip, July 3, 1917). This 

 locality has long been known as one of the few stations in this State 

 where this rare species of five-finger grows. It was first recorded 

 from here by Paine (p. 186) and later by Dr N. L. Britton*'^ It 

 has also been collected at Fair Haven, Cayuga county, by Charles 

 S. Sheldon (July 30, 1880) and at Sodus Bay by E. L. Hankenson 

 (state herbarium). J. F. Cowel^* reported it from the cattle yards 

 at East Buffalo in 1883, where it was evidently introduced from the 

 west. 



Potentilla intermedia Linnaeus 

 Shore of Lake Champlain, near Port Henry (E. P. Killip, August 

 8, 191 7). A rare species, sparingly introduced from Europe and 

 also collected several years ago at Flushing, Long Island by George 

 A. Uu\sf\

Adirondack mountains (C. H. Peck, June). No information is 

 given on the label by Doctor Peck as to the exact locality, but the 

 plant was doubtless collected in the vicinity of North Elba.
