without autlior citation, and in Leon, the combinations Saponaria 

 iiiflata, Ampclopsis trifolia and Centaurea arvcnse (sic). Of 

 these the first two are probably errors for Heliopsis scabra and 

 Silene inftata respectively. The others are presumably mistakes 

 of the same sort, but it is not apparent for what they were 

 intended. 



According to Britton's Manual, 3d ed., Scleria reticularis 

 Michx., var. pnbescens Britton, occurs in Connecticut ; and, on 

 the strength of presumably reliable records, Gray's Manual, 7th 

 ed., credits Setaria imberbis R. & S. to the state. The committee, 

 however, have seen no specimens of these plants from Connecti- 

 cut, and they are therefore omitted from the present Catalogue. 



FUGITIVE SPECIES. 



The species named in the following lists of fugitives are 

 known to have occurred spontaneously in Connecticut, thus 

 requiring mention in the Catalogue. For convenience of refer- 

 ence they are given in their proper place under the families to 

 which they belong. They are not, however, to be regarded as 

 properly forming a part of our uncultivated flora, and in making 

 up the tables of statistics that follow they are left out of account 

 entirely. 



These fugitives may be separated into groups as follows : 



Group i. 

 Species of which neither seed nor plant is ordinarily hardy in 

 this climate and which can therefore continue but for a single 

 season ; mostly plants of dumping grounds. 



Zea Mays L. 



Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms. 



Cicer arietinum L. 



Vicia Faba L. 



Pisum sativum L. 



Pisum sativum L., var. arvense (L.) Poir. 



Phaseolus vulgaris L. 



Phaseolus vulgaris L., var. nanus (L.) Taubert. 



Ricinus communis L.
