FIELD TRIPS OF THE CLIB 

 Trip of Sunday, May 15 to Smithtown, Long Island 



Five members and eleven guests decided to take for better or 

 for worse the threatening weather of early Sunday morning and 

 were on hand at the Smithtown station by eleven o'clock. 

 Those with cars gathered in those who had arrived by train and 

 the entire party drove west to that part of Smithtown, Suffolk 

 County, known as the Head-Of-The-River to "Cedar Acres," 

 the summer home of the leader. From this point the group 

 botanized for about two and one half hours walking through 

 the adjoining Wyandanch Club area which offered along and 

 near the brookside excellent stands of Caltha palustris, Sisym- 

 brium nasturtium-aquaticum , Drosera rotundifolia and Toxico- 

 dendron vernix. On the way back for lunch a much drier route 

 was taken and the following plants were particularly observed : 

 Kalmia angustifolia, K. latifolia, Epigaea repens, Trillium 

 cernuum, Viola cucullata, Ilex glabra, Arctostaphylos uva-ursi, 

 Lupinus perennis, Prunus pumila, Myrica carolinensis, Comp- 

 tonia peregrina, Uvularia sessilifolia, Comandra umbellata, 

 Hudsonia tomentosa, Tithymalopsis ipecacuanhae, Viola pedata, 

 Silene caroliniana, Trientalis americana, Pedicularis canadensis, 

 Cypripedium acaule, Sisyrinchium graminoides and Linaria 

 canadensis. 



The mycological enthusiasts reported Urnula craterium, 

 Tremellodon auranteum, Pholiota praecox, Hirneola auricula- 

 judae, Schizophyllum commune and Gymnosporangium juniperi- 

 virginianae. 



After lunch part of the group hiked about three miles to the 

 Kings Park station and in between the showers attempted to 

 botanize. Two members boarded the New York train and the 

 others tramped back to Smithtown to join those returning by 

 car. In spite of the weather photographs were attempted of 

 groups of Trillium cernuum.
