 Notes on Chrysohalanus Icaco L.— A large portion of the sand 

 dunes between the beach and Biscayne Bay opposite Miami, 

 Florida, is covered by a growth of the Cocoa Plum. The plant 

 there grows in approximately circular or somewhat irregular 

 patches, the stems and branches radiately arranged and partially 

 prostrate and partially cur\-ing upward. The flowers and fruits 

 are borne mainly at the circumference of the patches, or near it. 

 The plants produce fruits of three colors, namely yellow, purple, 

 and red. The color of the fruits is always decided, and a given 

 patch, so far as I have observed, produces but one color of fruit, 

 each patch invariably bearing either yellow, purple, or red fruits. 

 Elxcept for this color-difference and a relative difference in the 

 size of the fruits, the yellow the largest and the red the smallest, 

 the plants appear to be identical. J. K. SiiALL 



A New Species of Proserpinaca. — So peculiar are most of 

 the plants of the New Jersey pine-barrens and so local are 

 many of them that novelties are 'to be expected; but I must 

 con ess I was somewhat surprised to find that a large amount 

 of material collected by me as Proserpinaca palustris L. was not 

 that species, but a plant quite intermediate in character betw-een 

 it and Proserpinaca pectinata Lam. 



As is well known, the first-named species has those emersed 

 leaves which bear fruit in their axils oblong-lanceolate and merely 

 serrate or serrulate, and the submerged leaves are pectinate or 

 pectinate-pinnatifid ; in the second named species all the leaves 

 are strongly pectinate-pinnatifid, being di\"ided to the rachis. 

 The pine-barren plant has all the emersed leaves pectinate with 

 broad margined rachis, the submerged leaves being pectinate- 

 pinnatifid. The emersed leaves are in fact exactly half way 

 between those of the two species above referred to.
