Apocynum cannabinum L. 



The Indian hemp is very abundant along the Delaware river 

 at Port Jervis and at Narrowsburg. It is often procumbent or 

 spreading in its mode of growth. 



Yar. hypericifoliura was collected at Narrowsburg. 



Asclepias tuberosa L. 

 Port Jervis. The form with 3"ellow flowers. 



Mimulus moscliatus Dougl. 



This plant is native in the Pacific coast States and has probably 

 been introduced here because of its musk-like odor. It was found 

 in a bog near Locust Grove, Long Island, in 1886, by J. A. Bixby. 

 In 1891 it was discovered in a swampy locality near Middle 

 Grove, Saratoga county by Rev. J. H. TVibbe. It still exists in 

 this station and is apparently permanently established. It was 

 also reported to me as being well established in two other stations 

 in Saratoga county; one on the farm of T. H. Fuller, two miles 

 southwest of Middle Grove, and the other on the fartn of Robert 

 Morris near Greenfield Center. 



Utricularia vulgaris L. 



This bladder wort makes a luxuriant growth in Cayuga lake. 

 Specimens were obtained there having scapes nearly two feet 

 long and 12 to 16 flowered. 



Blephilia hirsuta Benth. 

 Taberg. June. A form with white flowers. 



Rumex Patientia L. 

 Pierrepont Manor and Middle Grove. A form of this species 

 with leaves closely resembling those of the yellow dock, R. oris- 

 pus, is becoming quite common. Its whitish root more dense 

 panicles and the larger nearly grainless valves of the fruit easily 

 distinguish it. I have not seen the form described in the ^Eanual, 

 and credited with root leaves two to three feet long. 



Larix Americana Mx. 

 On the shore of Highland lake an interesting tree of this 

 sdecies was observed. All the cones on the tree had the edges
