ALEXANDER AND SVENSON: FIELD TRIP 173 



the Dendrium bushes, associated with Lycopodium and the orange milkwort 

 (Polygala lutea). In another location to the south the plants grew adjacent to 

 Pyxidanthera and Drosera filiformis in an open pathway where there was a 

 slight accumulation of sphagnum moss. The flora along the margin of the river 

 was as brilliant as any of us had ever seen in the pine barrens, and the slightly 

 cloudy weather tended to enhance the golden flowers of Lophiola and Narthe- 

 cimn americanum, both now in full bloom. In shallow water there was an ex- 

 panse of yellow bladderwort {Utricularia cornuta), with Httle islands formed 

 entirely of red-leaved sundew {Drosera intermedia). Floating in the deeper 

 water were many colonies of Utricularia fibrosa and U. macrorrhiza. Here the 

 pitcher plant (Sarracenia) filled up shallow coves in unbelievable abundance, 

 but flowering time had long passed. It was with regret that we plodded back 

 a mile or so to the bus-station, since we all felt that the region could have 

 stood a couple of days' exploration at the least ; but our walk was somewhat 

 enlivened by the large number of stray species, such as Polygonum cuspidatuin, 

 which are now appearing on the roadside rubbish-piles, characteristic of so 

 many of our highways. 



While the bus and train took us toward New York, our party became 

 smaller as the members took their various ways home. Headlines in the news- 

 papers of fellow passengers reminded us of the sterner events in the world at 

 large, and made us appreciate all the more the respite we had enjoyed of a 

 few days in which to dwell upon the botanical achievements of the last seventy- 

 five years, and the opportunity to visit again some of the favorite collecting 

 grounds in the range of the Torrey Club. Thus, drew to its close, the Seventy- 

 fifth Anniversary Celebration of the Torrey Botanical Club.
