Saxifraga pennsylvanica L. 

 A. M. Johnson rlescribed Saxifraga purpuripetala in 

 1919 (Minn. Biol. Stud. 4: 51). citing si>ecimens from Vermont and 

 Xew Jersey. Type specimens have not been examined but from the 

 description it appears to differ from S. pennsylvanica, 

 chiefly by its purple petals. Various colonies of the swamp saxifrage 

 were examined during 1923 and 1924 and the search was rewarded 

 by finding the plant described by Johnson rather abundant in the 

 swamps around Peterboro. Here it grows with the typical form 

 of S. pennsylvanica which has dull creamy yellow petals, 

 almost white in dried specimens. It can not be regarded as 

 more than a color form of the species, characterized by its reddish 

 or rosy purple petals and yellow to orange colored anthers, and may 

 be designated as forma purpuripetala (Johnson) comb. nov. 



Botrychium angustisegmentum (Pease & Moore) Fernald 



In low woods near White's Corners, town of Eaton. H. D. House, 

 June 24, 1924. 



Oneida county 

 Thelypteris Goldiana (Hook.) Nieuwland 



Moist, wooded bank along the headwaters of the Mohawk river 

 near Dunn brook, town of Western. H. D. House 10112, June 18, 

 1924. 



Carex Frankii Kunth 



Wet, open woods, east of Oneida. H. D. House 10812, October 

 28, 1924. This sedge was reported from here in the Annotated List 

 (p. 199) on the basis of three rather immature specimens collected 

 here in 191 8 and determined by Mr Mackenzie. Subsequent search 

 failed to reveal more of it until this season when the search was 

 extended into some nearby open, wet woods where it was found 

 very abundant, and at this date mostly overmature, but numerous 

 specimens were collected and have been distributed to several 

 herbaria. 



Arisaema Stewardsonii Britton 



Low woods near Camden, H. D. House 10040, June 16, 1924. Also 

 collected at Clayville, June 23, 191 7. Distinctly a plant of the 

 Alleghanian and lower Canadian zones in this State. Some authori- 

 ties have apparently doubted whether this was distinct or not from 

 A. triphyllum. Herbarium specimens lose much of their dis- 

 tinctive character in drying. After studying this in the field for
