FURTHER NOTICE OF RARE PLANTS. BY JOHN LEWIS RPSSKT.L. 



ZOSTER A MARINA. L. Eel Grass. Sea wrack. This 

 plant may be readily found in blossom in the month of June ; 

 at which season of the year, I have repeatedly gathered it 

 near the tide mills in Salem, and likewise in other places 

 on our shores. 



VACCINUM VITIS ID^EA, L. This beautiful representative 

 of a more Northern flora was detected by the late William 

 Cakes, in a pasture in Danvers, in the year 1820. The 

 spot has been favorably regarded ever since, as interesting 

 to the botanist, and according to the observations of Samuel 

 P. Fowler, the plant has gradually increased from year to 

 year. Mr. F. has had the satisfaction of detecting another 

 locality about two miles distant, where a variety of the 

 plant with narrower leaves occurs. It is likewise suscepti- 

 ble of cultivation, as Mr. F. has proved. 



CLADONIA UNCIALIS, variety e, ^reticulata. 

 In great perfection of size and fructification at Duxbury, 

 Plymouth County, where I have gathered it in abundance, 

 and I have noticed it also on Monadnoc in a sterile state.
