LiLIACEAE 1«>TaNICA1 



1. Heinerocallis flava'L.. This plant has been cultivated so ^^* 

 commonly in our gardens that it is likely to become established 



at any time. Is it known to grow where it could be considered 

 as unquestionably established ? 



2. Allhnn carinatiim L. In the appendix to Britton's manual 

 this plant is given as a naturalized plant in Bucks Co., Pa. Is it 

 naturalized elsewhere ? There are no specimens from the local 

 flora range.* 



3. Allium canadense L. The only stations represented in the 

 collections are Cross wicks Creek, N. J., and two points on Staten 

 Island. This common meadow garlic has a general range of 

 Maine to Florida. The inference is unmistakable. 



4. Lilmm Philadelphicwn L. There are a great many speci- 

 mens in the collection. Curiously enough they all represent local- 

 ities north of the terminal moraine. Whether this restriction is 

 only accidental or whether it actually exists is entirely conjec- 

 tural. Has anyone seen this plant south of the moraine? What 

 is its distribution on Staten Island and Long Island ? There are 

 no specimens from either island. 



5. Liliinn canadense L. What has been said of L. Philadel- 

 phicwn applies equally to this species. Apparently the restriction 

 is not generic for L. siiperbiun L. is found in New Jersey well 

 to the southward of the moraine. 



* The local flora range as prescribed by the Club's preliminary catalog of 1888 is 

 as follows: All the state of Connecticut; Long Island; in New York the counties 

 bordering the Hudson River up to and including Columbia and Greene, also Sullivan 

 and Delaware counties ; all the state of New Jersey ; and Pike, Wayne, Monroe, 

 Lackawanna, Luzerne, Northampton, Lehigh, Carbon, Bucks, Berks, Schuylkill, 

 Montgomery, Philadelphia, Delaware, and Chester counties in Pennsylvania.
