REPORT OF THE STATE BOTANIST FOR I924 23 



several seasons I am abundantly convinced that it is specifically dis- 

 tinct from A . t r i p h }• 1 1 u m . The leaves are green beneath, 

 never glaucous as in A . t r i p h y 1 1 u m , but the most distinct 

 characters are found in the spathe. the tube of which is more 

 attenuated at the base, white or whitish, externally, with pale green 

 stripes, and deeply fluted, striped with brownish purple within, the 

 upper portion and the acuminate apex of the spathe pale green and 

 vv'ithout stripes or other color on either side. 



Mimulus Moschatus Dougl. 

 Aloist shady places among rocks along Fish creek near Taberg, 

 Xeil Hotchkiss 1820, September 18. 1924. 



Rubus sativus (Baile>) Brainerd 

 Sandy thickets, edge of pine woods near North Bay. H. D. 

 House 10121, June 21. 1924. 



Onondaga county 



Linum catharticum L. 



\\'et places in seepage along a brook in a pasture near Marcellus, 



Neil Hotchkiss 70?, July 13, 1923. Native of Europe and reported 



as naturalized in Nova Scotia and Ontario. Not previously reported 



from this State. 



Ontario county 

 Viola Baxter! House 

 Dr B. L. Robinson has generously called my attention to the fact 

 that the citation for this species in the Annotated List (N. Y. State 

 Mus. Bui. 254:500), is incorrect, and that through some clerical 

 error refers to Veronica B a x t e r i . The name Viola 

 B a X t e r i should have been indicated there as a new species, based 

 upon the description of V. perpensa given in N. Y. State 

 Mus. Bui. 197:58. 1918. which proves to be a misidentification 

 of the plants collected by Baxter. Although obviously allied to 

 Viola palmata L. it seems to be in the writer's opinion spe- 

 cifically distinct from that species. 



Orange county 

 Castilleja coccinea (L.) Spreng. 

 Near Port Jervis. Emelie A. Salisbury, June 4, 1924.
