Menispermum Canadense L. The moonseed has been reported from 

 Richmond and Egbertville, where it is still found. Mr. Davis and I 

 found the plant in 1903 at Ward's Point. I have found the plant 

 also in the little piece of woods near Charles Avenue, Port Richmond. 



Chelidonium majus L. This is the common celandine, and it is be- 

 coming more common on the Island. It has been reported from Eg- 

 bertville, Richmond, New Dorp and Mariners Harbor. I have found 

 it also at Dongan Hills, Grymes Hill, and in the vicinity of Bull's Head 

 and New Springville. 



Roripa sylvestris (L.) Bess, has been reported from the Woods of 

 Arden and from Snug Harbor. I have found it also near Palmer's 

 Run at Port Richmond. 



Roripa palustris (L.) Bess, has been reported from Port Richmond, 

 Woodrow and Stapleton. I found it in 1903 at Brooks' Pond, Old 

 Quarry Road near Quarry Hill, and along South Avenue. 



Roripa Nasturtium (L.) Rusby. The common water cress has been 

 reported from Clove Lake and from Silver Lake. By this time it is 

 more generally distributed. I have specimens from South Avenue and 

 from Graniteville. 



Roripa Armoracia{\^.) A. S. Hitchcock. This, the common horseradish, 

 has been reported as found growing wild at New Dorp and at Tottenville. 

 The specimen exhibited was collected near the old dye works at Mill 

 Creek Pond near Port Richmond, but the plant has been found in 

 other localities of late years by Mr. Davis and others. 



Dentaria laciniata Muhl. The cut-leaved pepper root has been re- 

 ported from Silver Lake, Grant City and New Dorp. I have found 

 the plant at Mill Creek Pond near Port Richmond, on Richmond Hill 

 near Egbertville, and in a swamp along South Avenue. Mr. Davis 

 tells me he has found it also at West New Brighton. 



Saxiiraga Pennsylvanica L. The swamp saxifrage was originally re- 

 ported from a " swamp near Clove Lake." Later it has been found by 

 several collectors in Reed's Basket Willow Swamp, though no one has 

 previously taken the trouble to report it. The specimen exhibited 

 was collected in a swamp along South Avenue. 



Spiraea tomeniosa L. has been reported from Clove Lake, New Dorp 

 and Richmond. Additional localities are the Bull's Head region and
