sessile, lowest short-pedunculate, fruit oval, subtriquetrous, 
acute, pubescent ; pistillate scale ovate, rather road, some- 
what acute or sub-mucronate, dark-colored, and a little longer 
than the fruit. Color pale or yellowish-green. 
Flowers in May—grows on “ rocky hills in the north part 
of Salem, Mass.”’—found by Dr. C. Pickering this season, 
for the first time in our country. It is a common European 
species. n the specimens of this species received from 
Germany, the pistillate scale is sometimes only acute, on oth- 
ers it is short-mucronate. On the plant sent me by Dr. 
Pickering, it has commonly the latter form. The whole 
plant very closely resembles the European, except that the 
scales are rather lighter colored. It should be remarked that 
this plant ts mot the C. precox, Schreb., the C. Schreber?,
