is really the rediscovery of a station known long ago to Mr. C. 

 F. Austin. He had reported the plant from this vicinity but when 

 a search was made for specimens in his collection, at the time 

 Dr. N. L. Britton was preparing his catalogue of New Jersey 

 plants, none were found. About that time evidence was found 

 which tended to prove that a mistake in identification had been 

 made as wrongly labeled material was found. Since the plant 

 had not been found again in New Jersey, Austin's record was 

 disregarded and the plant was omitted from Britton's catalogue. 

 Now it seems more reasonable to think that Austin was right 

 in his early report and that some confusion of labels and speci- 

 mens took place after his death.
