station. The plant has been reported from Clove Lake, New Brighton 

 and Tottenville. 



Polygala ambigua Nutt. This was originally reported from Tottenville. 

 I have found specimens answering to the description of this species 

 at Port Richmond, Iron Mines at Westerleigh, and in the woods 

 along Ocean Terrace. 



Polygala Nutiallii T. & G. This has been reported from New Brigh- 

 ton, Richmond and Tottenville. I have found it quite common in wet 

 meadows along the North Shore, and west near the junction of Mer- 

 rell Avenue and South Avenue. 



Enonymics Americanus L. This plant was originally reported from 

 Clove Lake swamp. Just why it has not been reported from other lo- 

 calities I do not know, for it is common in our denser moist woods. I 

 have collected specimens on Long Neck, along South Avenue, near 

 New Springville, at Richmond, and at Port Richmond. 



Siaphylea trifolia L. The American bladder nut was originally re- 

 ported in the " Elliott Collection." The finding of this plant at New 

 Springville by Mr. Davis and myself gives us a definite locality. 



Viola Le Conieana Don was reported from Clove Lake as V. blanda 

 amoena (LeConte) B. S. P. The same kind of violet grows in the 

 woods along Bradley Road, at Bull's Head, and New Springville. 



Oxypolis rigidus (L.) Raf. Reported from Linden Park, Tottenville, 

 and Old Place. Mr. Davis and I have found this plant common on 

 Long Neck and in the Watchogue region. It grows also in the vicinity 

 of Richmond. Many of the plants of these regions have very narrow 

 leaflets and should be considered a variety, — quite different, however, 

 from the plants of the New Jersey pine barrens. 



Lysimachia Nummularia L. This creeping loosestrife has been 

 reported from Todt Hill and Garretson. It grows also at West New 

 Brighton, Port Richmond, along Richmond Turnpike near Willow 

 Brook hamlet, along the Egbertville Road near New Springville, at 

 Clove Lake, and at several other places. 



Naumburgia thyrsillora (L.) Duby. I found this tufted loosestrife 

 in a pond in the Middletown forest, not far from the top of Todt Hill. 

 It has been previously reported from Silver Lake and Linden Park. 



Gentiana Saponaria L. This has been only locally reported as oc- 

 curring at Clove Lake and at Tottenville. More recently it has been 

 well known as our common gentian, and it is found abundantly in wet 

 meadows on the Island. 



Convolvulus arvensis L. has been reported from New Dorp. I found 

 it at Westerleigh in 1903. It grows also at Stapleton, Port Richmond, 

 and New Brighton.
