REPORT OF THE STATE BOTANIST FOR I924 37 



='=Ribes hirtellum Michx. 



Swamp near Sylvan Beach. JV. C. Mncnschcr 14/34, Septem- 

 ber 17, 1922. 



='=Potentilla arguta Pursh 



Sand plains about 3 miles north of New London. A single 

 plant found, which appeared as though it might be adventive here. 



*Crataegus macrantha Loddiges 

 North Bay, Oneida county, according to [P. C. Miioischer} 



'•=Trifolium arvense L. 

 Common along railroad tracks and on sandy banks at several 

 localities. Native of Europe. 



Polygala polygama Walter 

 Common in the sand plains 2 or 3 miles north of New London, 

 which is probably in about the same locality from which it was 

 reported by Kneiskern in Paine's flora. A single clump with white 

 flowers (forma albiflora House) was seen. 



=''Viola papilionacea Pursh 

 Roadsides and in low woods along Oneida creek near its mouth. 

 Common and variable. 



*Viola septentrionalis Greene 

 Occasional or locally frequent in swampy woods north of New 

 London. H. D. House 6oy8, June 4. 1919. 



*Kalmia latifolia L. 

 Forming large thickets along the edge of swampy woods and on 

 decayed logs, occasionally in the more heavily wooded portions of 

 the swamp, about 3 miles north of New London. August 26, 1918. 

 This is apparently the only report of the mountain laurel in this 

 region. Sartwell reports it from the head of Crooked lake, Yates 

 county, and Bradley reports it from Ithaca.^- Paine also reports it 

 from near Utica and Oriskany, also in Oneida county, as in the 

 New London locality, but in the Mohawk watershed, while the New 

 London locality lies in the St Lawrence basin. Except for Hanken- 

 son's report-^ of this species from Sodus Bay, this is perhaps the 

 most northern record for the mountain laurel in New York State.
