new station is much farther inland than the plant usually occurs. 
Its presence here gives an additional botanical interest to the 
Shawangunk mountains which have already furnished several very 
rare and interesting species of plants. 
Quercus MUHLENBERGII, Hngelm. (Q. castanea, Muhl.) 
<‘Big Gully” near Union Springs. Dudley. This is the Q. 
Prinus var. acuminata of the Manual, Q. acuminata, Mx., but 
it is regarded by Dr. Engelmann as quite distinct from Y. Prinus. 
It is a rare species in our State, its proper home being, according 
to Dr. Engelmann, in the Mississippi valley. In the New York 
Flora it is attributed to Chemung county on the authority of Dr. 
Knieskern. There are two forms of it; one having lanceolate 
narrow leaves, five to six inches long and one and a half to two 
inches broad, with acuminate apex and sharp teeth; the other _ 
having broadly ovate or obovate leaves, six or seven inches long 
and four or five inches broad, with broader and more rounded teeth. 
Our specimens belong to the narrow-leaved form. 
Myrica GaLs, J. 
Locke pond, Cayuga county. Dudley. 
SAGITTARIA VARIABILIS var. HASTATA, Hngelm. 
Summit marsh, Spencer, Tioga county. Dudley. The speci- 
men shows long linear and lanceolate phyllodia ; also stolons giv- 
ing rise to young plants. The variations in this well-named 
Sagittaria are exceedingly numerous. Specimens collected at 
Coeymans haye the leaves of variety latifolia, but all the flowers 
staminate on some plants, thus passing to the dicecious inflores- 
cence of variety obtusa. Specimens of variety gracilis from the 
same place have, in some cases, all the leaves without lobes, in 
others some leaves are lobed, others, lobeless. A specimen of this 
variety from Long lake has the fruiting heads almost sessile, as 
in S. heterophylla. Specimens of variety hastata and variety 
angustifolia also sometimes occur with dicecious inflorescence. 
NAIAsS MAJOR, Al. 
Foot of Cayuga lake. Aslender form with long internodes and 
long narrow leaves. Black lake, a shallow pond four miles below 
Cayuga lake. A short, stout, dark or purplish-colored leafy form 
with dichotomous recurved habit and slightly curved and more 
distinctly reticulated fruit. Dudley. 
APLECTRUM HYEMALE, Nutt. 
West Dryden. Dudley.
