Trip of May 21 to Seeley's Notch, N. J. 



Twenty-eight persons were present on this trip and over 350 

 species of plants were identified, most of which were different 

 from those observed on the preceding day's trip only a few 

 miles away. Among the plants found in flower were Comandra 

 umbellata, Taenidia integerrima, Gaylussacia baccata, Veronica 

 agrestis, Scleranthus annuus, Aralia nudicaulis, Aquilegia cana- 

 densis, Micranthcs virginiensis, Cardamine bulbosa, Uvularia per- 

 foliata, Oakcsiclla sessilifolia, Viola fimbriatula, V. pallens, Eri- 

 geron pidchellus, Thalesia uniflora, Asarum canadense, Staphylea 

 trifolia, and the rare Isotria virticillata. Attention was called to 

 the two types of plants of Antennaria plantaginifolia and the mar- 

 velous floral adaptations for securing healthy seed exhibited by 

 the Indian-turnip, flowering-dogwood, yellow fawnlily, moccasin- 

 flower, and the common chickweed. Among the cryptogams iden- 

 tified were Polyporus caudicinus, Cystopteris fragUis, Woodsia 

 obtusa, and Polypodium virginianum. Special attention was de- 

 voted to the identification of plants in their non-flowering stages 

 and among the species thus identified were, in the woodlands on 

 the trap-rock ridges, Laportea canadensis, Helianthus divaricatus, 

 Menispermum, canadense, Viburnum acerifolium, V. rafinesqui- 

 anum, Nyssa sylvatica, Rhus typhina, Atragene americana, Serico- 

 carpus, aster oides, Solidago bicolor, S. squarrosa, S. caesia, lonactis 

 linariifolius, Cunila origanoides, Hieracium venosum, Kalmia lati- 

 folia, Tilia americana, Quercus montana, and Q. maxima. At the 

 borders of the woodlands and along roadsides were found Hvdro-
