This plant, not mentioned in Gray's Manual, seems thor- 

 oughly established in a pasture in Polpis, making a patch 

 about a rod in diameter. It does not seem probable that it 

 was ever cultivated where it grows, and how it got to Nan- 

 tucket must be left to conjecture. L. L. D. August, 1886.
