The reported occurrence in N. J. of 5. Bona-nox L. and 5. Pseudo-China L. seem to 

 have been errors. There are no specimens or authentic records from this state, and 

 the plants are otherwise definitely known only from Maryland southward. A single 

 plant of 5. Bona-nox L. (5. tamnoides A. Gray) not of L. has been recorded from S. I. 

 The S. I. record of 5. Pseudo-China L. is based on a short-petioled specimen of 5. 

 herbacea L.
