SPECIES OF PLANTS NOT BEFOKE KEPORTED 



Ranunculus circinatus Sibth. 

 Black creek, near Fulton, Osweg-o county. July. W. W. Roiolee. 



Cardamine flexuosa WUh. 



Cascadeville, Essex county. June. The plant here noted was 

 formerly refeiTed to C. Mrsuta var. silvatica, but it differs so much 

 from C. Mrsuta that I am disposed to follow Withering, in consid- 

 ering it a distinct species. 



Lychnis Floscuculi L. 



Irvington, Westchester county. C. L. Shear. This is an intro- 

 duced plant, and has probably escaped from cultivation. 



Spiraea sorbifolia L. 



Escaped from cultivation and established by roadsides and in a 

 pasture near Fulton. July. Roiolee. 



Rosa cinnamomea L. 



Morehouseville, Hamilton county. July. This rose which has 

 been introduced into this country and cultivated, is frequently 

 found growing by roadsides or in adjoining fields. It often persists 

 long after the houses, near which it was planted, have disappeared. 

 It spreads somewhat by its roots, but probably does not spread by 

 seed. The flowers are usually double. 



Prunus Persica L. 



Warsaw, Wyoming county; Turners, Orange county ; Cold Spring, 

 Putnam county. Also in Cayuga county. W. R. Dudley. In the 

 three localities first mention sd the trees appear to have grown 

 spontaneously, and were fruiting. 



Pyrus Aucuparia Gcert. 



Schoharie ; Delmar, Albany county, and Spencertown, Columbia 

 county. Sometimes escaping from cultivation and growing wild in 

 the borders of fields or woods. 



Epilobium glandulosum Lehm. 

 Wet places, Schroon river, Essex county. August.
