to express its true nature, as W. H. Camp does in "The American 

 Midland Naturalist," Vol. 23, p. 177, 1940— by the High Bush, 

 with Lycopodimn imitidatum, Xyris flexuosa and Hairy-cap Moss, 

 grew plentifully, Drosera intermedia! Roundabout were Rhexia 

 virginica and Gratiola aurea and further away from this island of 

 remarkable associations for our city (as she is now) were many 

 just plain lovely blooms, such as Desmodium canadense, D. ciliare, 

 Ludwigia alternijolia, Bugle-weed, Joe Pye Weed, Euthamia grami- 

 nijolia, E. tenitifolia, two Sensitive Peas, Chamae crista nictitans 

 and the showy C. fasciculata and Agalinis purpurea near an area 

 of long-peduncled Strophostyles umhellata. The Button-weed was 

 a new plant to some of the group who had not seen Diodia teres 

 before. Teucrium canadense and Sanguisorba canadensis were pre- 

 ent in some abundance. A Cuscuta pentagona Engelmann (C. arven- 

 sis), with its inflexed corolla tips and pale stem, had the scales 

 within its corolla tube greatly reduced, almost lacking, and not 

 at all typically "prominently fringed." On the lawns leading to the 

 golf course grew the Cat's-ear, Hypochaeris radicata. 



The walk to the sandy point was drab in comparison. White- 

 flowered Datura stramonium, Cycloloma atriplicijolium, Stropho- 

 styles helvola, were on the road, and at the edge of the marsh Iva, 

 Baccharis, Polygonum exsertum, Dondia, Salic ornia, A triplex 

 hastata. Tissa marina oflfered an observation worthy of note ; its 

 petals are bicolored, lavender at the periphery and white near the 

 center or eye of the bloom. At a distance of several feet, especially 

 in the strong sunlight, these flowers appear white, whereas at close 

 inspection their dainty lavender is the conspicuous hue. In the 

 sand dunes near the bay an herb was taken for Polygonum, but 

 the dry-sand habitat and the old flower stalks with their unique 

 articulations made the writer suspect it to be Polygonella articu- 

 lata, if so, a good station for the city. 



The last high light of the trip, the most beautiful, was met 

 when we penetrated the marshes deeply, leaping over drainage 

 ditches and dodging through Rhus vernix and passing Helenium 

 autumnale, the yellow-centered Sneezeweed that was profuse in 

 this locality with Helianthus angustijolius as a partner The Hele- 

 nium species is not a common plant within the confines of the 

 city. Other high lights of this marsh were the colorful hues of 

 Hibiscus moscheutos and the fruits of Rhus glabra. Further on
