rowed at the base, the lower on broad margined petioles 1 cm 
long the upper subsessile or sessile; inflorescence axillary and 
terminal; calyx rose, on pedicels 7 or 8 mm; fruiting involucre 
1 cm high and 2 cm across when expanded, on. pedicels often

It looks as though it might be a hybrid between the preceding 
and the following species, both of which are found in south- 
eastern Michigan in their typical forms as well as in the varie- 
tal forms herewith mentioned. Apparently, this is closely re- 
lated to the A. polytricha Standley but that is said to have 
strigose fruit and long petioled leaves. 
Allionia aggregata (Ortega) Spreng. Stem and inflores- 
cence hirsute, the latter also glandular; leaves ovate-lanceo- 
late to lanceolate, sessile or subsessile, the lower more or less 
pilose, especially on the mid rib beneath, upper ones often gla- 
brous; inflorescence single in the axils or cymose at the ends 
of the branches. Ypsilanti, No. 5253, June 15, 1819; French 
Landing, Farwell and Gladewitz, No. 6175, June 7, 1922. 
Var. hirsuta (Pursh) Farwell. Leaves elongated-oblong or 
linear-lanceolate, hirsute; inflorescence a terminal panicle.

Alsine rubra (L.) Crantz. Two stations are listed in the 
Michigan Flora, Litchfield and Rochester. Another is now 
added. Geddess, No. 6801, Sept. 12, 1923. 
Sagina procumbens, L. Pearlwort. Usually found on wet 
rocks, etc.; but«also on dry rocky or gravelly hillsides. The 
following collections were made near Lake Linden. Brink of 
Douglas Houghton Falls, No. 3914, October 11, 1914; foot of 
Douglas Houghton Falls, No. 6595, June 25, 1923; dry hill-

Moehringia lateriflora (L.) Fenzl. Shores of the Grand 
River at Grand Ledge, No. 6560, May 10, 1923. 
Cerastium longepedunculatum, Muhl. In an old abandoned 
corn field where it was quite plentiful. Easily differentiated 
from C. vulgatum which it closely resembles, by its longer ped- 
uncles with their pods at right angles thereto. Erie, No. 6492,
