in Cattaraugus county and was represented only by a single 

 plant. It grew in a crevice of a block of Salamanca conglomerate 

 rock. Mr. Charles Weatherby kindly identified this plant. 



Many rare plants have been found by other botanists in 

 the place called "Balsam Swamp" in the Allegany State Park, 

 the only such area in the park. Last summer, I was able to add 

 another rare plant, this species being in the nature of a plant 

 freak. I refer to Osmunda cinnafnomea L. forma incisa (J. W. 

 Huntington) Gilbert which was determined by Mr. Weatherby. 

 This is a startling form of a common fern in which the pinnules 

 are greatly and irregularly incised. Some basal pinnules are 

 greatly elongated in addition. One plant was found in fruit and 

 the fertile frond was part fertile and part sterile or leafy. The 

 latter plant is called forma, frondosa (T. & G.) Britton. 

 ry Rhododendron maximum L. is known from several places in 

 Cattaraugus county. I am pleased to add another station to 

 the all-too-few local stations. Last summer, following upon 

 directions from one of the Senaca Indians on the nearby Alle- 

 gheny reservation, I found a fairly large quantity of this plant 

 in a swamp on the reservation near Red House, N.Y.
