Professor Young wrote: "It has not been my pleasure to 

 become acquainted with Psoralea stipulata." He has resided 

 in Jefferson County since 1870, collected thoroughly through 

 Scott, Jefferson, and Switzerland counties, Indiana, and Trimble 

 County, Kentucky, but not in the immediate vicinity of the 

 Falls. Neither he nor his students have ever met it. 



It seems, therefore, evident that the plant was found locally 

 in the neighborhood of Louisville, on both sides of the river, i. e. 

 in Clark County, Indiana, and Jefferson County, Kentucky, 

 but is now extinct. Furthermore that it never has been col- 

 lected in fruit. It may be that after all it is not a Psoralea 

 (in broad sense). The flowers resemble much those of P. 

 Onobrychis, but even the calyx is without glands. Glands are 

 present on at least the calyx and the fruit in all the other species 

 of the tribe Psoraleae. I though once that it might be a species 

 of Meibo?nia, but I have not found a species in that genus to 

 match it. 



Any further information will be thankfully received.

FURTHER NOTES ON CYNOSURUS ECHINATUS L. 



IN OREGON 



F. Lyle Wynd 



Cynosurus echinatus L. was first reported from Eugene by 

 J. C. Nelson, October, 1919 (Torreya, Vol. 19, No. 9, page 189). 

 R. V. Bradshaw reported its occurrence at Eugene, Feb., 1920 

 (American Botanist, Vol. 26, No. I, page 19). Again it was 

 reported by J. C. Nelson in his list of introduced plants, March, 

 1921 (Torreya, Vol. 21, No. 2, page 24). It was here indicated 

 as an introduced species. The latest and most detailed account 

 of its occurrence at Eugene was given by Mr. Bradshaw in 

 Torreya, September, 1921 (Torreya, Vol. 21, No. 5, page 81). 

 It is here stated that C. echinatus occurred on Skinner's Butte 

 and Spencer's Butte. 



It would not be at all difficult to think of this species as being 

 introduced in both of these localities as Skinner's Butte is a
