54 Turrty-FourtTH ANNNAL Report OF THE 
Myriophyllum tenellum, Bigel. Not uncommon in the Adirondack 
region. On the miry shores of Mud-pond, a. shallow sheet of water 
about one mile south-west of Edmonds ponds, it is so plentiful that its 
peculiar yellowish hue is visible at a long distance. It grows both in 
and out of water. 
Epilobium angustifolium, Z. A form with flowers nearly white, oc- 
curs occasionally in the Adirondack region. White flowered forms of _ 
the following species have been observed the past season; Verbascum 
Thapsus, Echium vulgare, Mimulus ringens, Scutellaria lateriflora, — - 
Origanum vulgare. The last-named plant is very plentiful about 
Pheenicia, Ulster county, where it monopolizes some of the pastures 
and hillsides. 
Epilobium coloratum, Juhi. A small form with unbranched stems 
six to ten inches high was observed in the Catskill mountains. It re- 
sembles #. alpinum, from which it may be distinguished by its acute 
leaves. 
Lythrum alatum, Pursh. Bank of Oswego river opposite Battle 
Island. Widbbe. 
Conioselinum Canadense, 7. & G. Moist cliffs, Catskill mountains. 
Galium verum, Z. Glen Cove. Coles. 
Aster corymbosus, Aié. In the Catskill mountains three forms oc- 
cnr which are readily distinguished from each other by the flowers. 
A small form in open grassy places has a dense corymb of small heads 
with short broad close rays; a large form in shaded moist places 
along streams has a loose corymb of larger heads with long narrow dis- 
tant rays; a third form, intermediate between these two, grows in 
thin woods and has rays about midway between the other two in length, 
breadth and relative position. In all the forms the rays sometimes ex- 
ceed nine in number. The flowers of the large form resemble those of 
A. macrophyllus, but the involucre is shorter. . 
Aster Tradescanti v. fragilis, 7. @ G. (A. fragilis, Willd.) Long 
lake and Raquette falls, Adirondack mountains. It is one of the 
earliest flowering Asters of this region, being in flower the latter part 
of July. 
hee longifolius, Lam. A form with the stem leaves broadly 
lanceolate and strongly serrate in the middle was found at Phoenicia. 
Aster acuminatus, Mz. ‘'I'wo well-marked forms occur. In one the 
leaves are crowded on the upper half of the stem, the lower half being 
nearly or quite destitute of foliage. In cold, elevated localities, as in 
the Stony Clove of the Catskills, this form has but few heads; gener- 
ally from one to six. The other form hasastouter stem, leafy through- 
out its entire length, and numerous heads of flowers. 
Artemisia Canadensis, J/v. Sandy hanks along the railroad near 
Thurman station, Warren county. 
Rudbeckia laciniata, Z. Plentiful in the Catskill mountains, fol- 
lowing the streams far up toward the Stony Clove. 
Lactuca Canadensis v, sanguinea, 7. & G. Fields and cleared places. 
North Elba. Plants with yellow flowers and those with reddish or 
orange-colored flowers were associated in the same station. 
Campanula rotundifolia, 2. A small form with solitary flowers 
grows at Edmonds ponds.
