Blazing Star, Liatris scariosa Willd. Thanks are due to Mr. 

 C. A. Urner of Elizabeth for telling us of the occurrence of this 

 species on the Great Island area of the Newark Meadows in 

 Union County. A trip was made there on Sept. 24, 1932. A num- 

 ber of plants were seen in flower and one specimen was col- 

 lected. This plant is known to the writers from only two other 

 stations in New Jersey. One is in Monmouth Co. between 

 Matawan and Keyport, and the other is in Middlesex Co. south 

 of Spotswood, where it was first found by Waldron DeWitt 

 Miller in 1924. 



Specimens were made of all of the above, and in the case 

 of the Myrica, Galium, and Liatris, have been deposited in the 

 herbarium of Cornell University. Specimens from all three sta- 

 tions for Liatris scariosa have been deposited in the herbarium 

 of Rutgers University.
