26 Report of the State Botanist. 



Nasturtium lacustre Gr. 

 A terrestrial form of this plant occurs along the inlet of Owasco 

 lake. The leaves are early and easily deciduous 



Hudsonia tomentosa JSrutt. 



Sandy shore of Lake Pleasant, Hamilton county. 



The plants in this' remarkably inland station differ so much 

 from the typical form of the species that I am disposed to con- 

 sider them a good variety. They are intermediate between H. 

 tomentosa and H. ericoides and ma^'^ therefore bear the name 



Var. intermedia. Stems and branches more slender and longer ; 

 leaves narrow, less imbricating and less tomentose; flowers on 

 pedicels mostly a little longer than the leaves . 



The variation in the leaves, downy tomentum and pedicels is 

 n every case toward H. ericoides. 



Viola blanda Willd. var. renifolia Gr. 

 Mossy ground in woods. Helderberg mountains. 



Viola cucuUata Ait. 



A form with variegated flowers. Gouverneur. Mrs. E. G. 

 Anthony. 



Lychnis Flos-cuculi L. 



Grassy yard. Newark. E. L. HanTcenson. 



The specimens are unusually small and few-flowered. 



Lathy r us ochroleucus Hook. 

 Common about CarroUton. June. 



Fragaria Indica L. 



Banks of Onondaga creek. Mr's. L. L. Goodrich. 



The specimens sent by Mrs. Goodrich appear to be dwarfed. 

 They are very much smaller than those from Staten Island. 

 The fruit is borne singly in the axils of the leaves of the runners. 

 The seeds are superficial on the receptacle as in F. vesca and in 

 our specimens are bright red, thus giving a beautiful appear- 

 ance to an insipid fruit. The petals are yellcw. The plant has 

 been introduced and probably has escaped from cultivation.
