ADDENDA TO THE BOTANY OF THE NORTHERN STATES. XC1 



hairy, narrowly oblong, with the dorsal suture decidedly introflexed and pro- 

 jecting internally, raised on a stalk longer than the calyx ; otherwise much like 

 A. Robbinsii. (Phaca astragalina, DC.) Willoughby Mountain, Vermont, 

 Rev. Mr. Blake ; a form with rather elongated racemes of smallish flowers. Coast 

 of Maine, Dr. Scammon, &c. On the Aroostook and St. John's Rivers, Maine, 

 G. L. Goodale, and northward. June, July. In the former edition specimens 

 of this were confused with A. Robbinsii, which has smaller white flowers, a broad 

 and flatter pod, with very slight dorsal introflexion, and is nearer the European 

 Phaca australis, L. (Eu.) 



Oxytropis Lamberti, Pursh. ? , the same as the plant growing near 

 Quebec, was detected by Mr. G. L. Goodale on the St. John's River, in Maine, 

 in 1861, in fruit only. I am still uncertain whether it belongs to 0. Lamberti, 

 which approaches the borders of Wisconsin, or to O. Uralensis. The genus 

 is distinguished from Astragalus by its mucronately pointed keel.

2*. Cassia Obtlisifolia, L. Leaflets 3 or rarely 2 pairs, obovate, 

 obtuse, with an elongated gland between those of the lower pairs or lowest pair ; 

 pods slender, 6' long, curved ; root annual. Banks of the Ohio River, Illinois 

 (Dr. Vasey), and southward.

1. Oeuin nrbanum, L. Petals yellow; otherwise nearly as in G. 

 album. E. Fairfield, Ohio, S. B. McMillan. I have seen only incomplete 

 specimens ; the petals very small. 



P. 120. 



3. FRAGARIA INDICA, L., or DUSCHESNEA FRAGARIOIDES, Smith, which 

 differs from the true Strawberries in having leafy runners, the calyx with incised 

 leafy bractlets larger than the sepals, yellow petals, and an insipid fruit, grows 

 in copses around Philadelphia, Mr. Charles E. Smith. (Adv. from Ind., &c.)

3. A ill iim ii ilia Nlitt:tllii. Submersed aquatic, or sometimes terres- 

 trial, rooting in the mud ; leaves linear, when immersed elongated, thin, and 

 closely sessile by a broad base, when out of water shorter and contracted at the 

 base ; flowers mostly solitary in the axils, sessile, small ; calyx with broad tri- 

 angular lobes, the appendages at the sinuses obsolete or wanting ; petals none ; 

 style very short ; ovary 2-celled. (Peplis diandra, Nutt., but stamens usually 4. 

 Hypobrichia Nuttallii, M. A. Curtis.) Wisconsin and Minnesota (T. J. Hah], 

 Illinois (Buckley, Vasey, Hall, &c.), and southward. June -Aug. When in 

 water, stems l-3 long, very leafy. 

 P. 130. 



EPILOBIUM HiRstiTUM, L., a branching species, soft-villous all over, of 

 our second division, only the flowers are large, the rose-purple petals ^' long, 

 is established as a wild plant at New Bedford, Mass., T. A. Greene. (Adv 

 from Eu.)
