near Palmer's Run, Port Richmond, and at Old Place. It was origin- 

 ally reported from New Dorp. 



Isotria verticillata (Willd.) Raf. This has been reported from Hugue- 

 not, Giflfords and Mariners Harbor. Mr. Davis and I found it east 

 of Richmond toward Oakwood. With Mr. Stafford C. Edwards I 

 found the plant in woods on the east side of Bradley Road. I have 

 found it also in the woods just east and a little south of Egbertville. 



Acroanthes unifoiia (Michx.) Raf. This inconspicuous little orchid 

 has been reported from New Dorp, Egbertville and Ocean Terrace. 

 Mr. Davis and I found the plant at Great Kills and east of Richmond 

 toward Oakwood. 



Leptorchis Loeselii (L.) MacM. This was originally reported as oc- 

 curring- " On Staten Island in the gravelly bank of a railroad cutting.'' 

 It has also been reported as found near Garretson by Miss C. K. Tim- 

 merman. The specimens exhibited were collected near the railroad 

 west of Arlington station in 1904. 



Urtica dioica L. This stinging nettle has been reported from Rich- 

 mond. It grows also along the roadside leading south from Castleton 

 Corners, not far from Ocean Terrace. 



Urticastrum divaricatiim (L.) Kuntze, the wood nettle, is still abun- 

 dant in Bloodroot Valley, from which it was originally reported. I have 

 found it around Richmond, along Palmer's Run at Port Richmond, 

 and in the woods along South Avenue. 



Polygonum ejnersum (Michx.) Britton was originally reported as 

 P. amphibium L. from New Dorp. The specimen exhibited was col- 

 lected near Green Ridge. 



Alsiyie longifolia (Muhl.) Britton. The plant is abundant along 

 Palmer's Run at Port Richmond, and this name should replace the 

 Stellaria longipes Goldie reported from this locality. It grows also in 

 the wet meadows in the Mariners Harbor region. It was originally 

 reported from Tottenville. 



Rayiunctdus obtiishisailns Raf. has been reported from Bull's Head 

 and New Springville. I have found it in the marshes and swamps 

 along Old Quarry Road and along South Avenue. 



Ficaria Ficaria (L.) Karst. This plant was originally reported from 

 near Four Corners. I am told by Messrs. Davis and Charles W. Leng 

 that the plant has not been found in this locality in recent years. Dr. 

 Arthur Hollick found a new locality for the plant and reported it in i8go 

 from " Willow Brook. Scarce." He tells me this locality is a little 

 west of Bull's Head. Since the plant has been so scarce it may be of 

 interest to note that I have found several closely matted patches of it 

 this spring, also along Willow Brook but east of Bull's Head.
