Local flora notes 



Under this head Torre ya would like to publish from time to 

 time notes on the occurrence of uncommon plants in our area, 

 notes on new stations for the rarer plants, or comments on 

 anything of interest regarding our local plants. This will be in 

 addition to the reports of field trips. The following notes are 

 sent by Mr. Leon W. Bowen of Bloomfield, N. J. 



Equisetum scirpoides; found growing luxuriantly near the 

 mouth of Pine Meadow Brook, Interstate Park, Rockland 

 County, N. Y. in March, 1937. Specimens were sent to the 

 Brooklyn and Bronx Botanical Gardens. 



Lycopodium annotinum; along the outlet of Green Pound, 

 Morris County, N. J. in 1931. On Wawayanda plateau, Sussex 

 County, N.J. in 1935. 



Lycopodium tristachyum ; at Green Pond, Morris County and 

 two stations on the Wawayanda plateau, Sussex County in 

 1931. Since then Mr. J. L. Edwards has found four more sta- 

 tions in the same general region in Passaic and Sussex Counties. 



Woodwardia areolata; on Beaufort Mountains in Orange 

 County and in Passaic County in 1926. On Kittatiny Mountains 

 in Sussex County in 1933. On Ramapo Mountains, Bergen 

 County in 1935. 



Of these the first is not given in Small's Ferns of the Vicinity 

 of New York, the second is said to be very rare outside of the 

 Catskill and Pocono plateaus, the third is probably frequently 

 confused with the more common Lycopodium fiahelliforme, and 

 the last is a costal form.
