Aster junceus Ait. Sullivan Co. : in peat bog, Highland 

 Lake, 1935, M & Cu 5321. House (1934) gives the range south- 

 ward to Columbia, Greene, Tompkins, and Tioga Counties. 



This seems to be the first collection of the species in Sullivan 

 County. 



Aster ptarmicoides (Nees) T. &. G. Saratoga Co. : along 

 Mohawk River at Waterford, 1934, M & C 4747, Designated 

 by House (1924) as infrequent or rare and reported only from 

 Washington Co. in eastern New York. 



Eupatorium rugosum Houtt. Oneida Co.: gorge of East 

 Branch of Fish Creek, Taberg, 1935, M 19020. 



This collection is of interest since the leaves of the young 

 plants are dark purple. To the writer it seems undesirable to 

 further clutter taxonomic literature with Latin names for such 

 minor variations which may appear sporadically throughout a 

 species population and which probably are of slight survival 

 value. 



Hieracium florentinum All. Tompkins Co.: sandy al- 

 luvium in valley of Salmon Creek about two miles north of 

 Ludlowville, 1936, A.. Miller & C 2219. Although reported as 

 rare by Wiegand and Eames (1926), who list only one station 

 in the Cayuga Lake Basin, this species is now becoming more 

 common in that area, 



Hypochaeris radicata L. Bronx Co. : waste ground, Throgs 

 Neck, 1935, R. Osgood & C 2014 & 2015. This is also represented 

 in the herbarium of Cornell University by specimens from Erie, 

 Oneida, Onondaga, Schuyler, Suffolk, and Tompkins Counties. 



This weed is truly common in waste places on the east side 

 of the Bronx. Both Taylor (1915) and House (1924) report it 

 as rare or infrequent in the state. 



The writer wishes to express his thanks to Professor W. C. 

 Muenscher for permission to report on various of his collec- 

 tions represented in the herbarium of Cornell University.
