SPECIES NOT BEFORE REPORTED. 



Papaver somniferum L. 



Menands, Albany county. September. Cultivated for orna- 

 ment but often self-seeding and sparingly escaping from 

 cultivation. 



Prunus Cerasus L. 



Voorheesville and Delmar, Albany county, and Westport, 

 Essex county. The sour cherry is sometimes spontaneous by 

 roadsides and near farm-houses. 



Prunus domestica L. 

 Amagansett, Suffolk county. An apparently starved or degen- 

 erate form of the cultivated plum grows in sandy soil in this 

 locality. It assumes a straggling bush-like form three to four 

 feet high, or in a few instances six to eight feet. The taller 

 specimens were seen on the north side of the road leading from 

 Amagansett to Easthampton. The leaves on the spurs are about 

 six lines long and three lines broad. Those on tJie branches are 

 about one inch long and half as Avide. On the most thrifty 

 shoots they scarcely , exceed one and a half inch in length. 

 Flowers and fruit not seen.
