PLANTS NOT BEFORE REPORTED. 



Hesperis matronalis, L. 



Roadside, near Feurabush, Albany county. May. This plant is 

 sometimes cultivated for ornament and escapes from cultivation and

Prunus avium, L. 



Ravines and hillsides. Near Catskill. May.' Also reported by Pro-

Trapa natans, L. 



This curious aquatic has been introduced, but is well established in

Cynodon dactylon, Pers. 

 Vacant lots in Long Island city. September. This is considered a
