Poly gala paucifolia Willd. Numerous on wooded slopes, espe- 

 cially those with northern exposure. 



Celastrus scandens L. Found occasionally. Usual locations and 

 seasons. 



Impatiens biflora Walt. In quantities at foot of Bash-Bish falls 

 and like situations, blossoming at the usual time. 



Hypericum perforatum L. Common in sunny, exposed situa- 

 tions, in blossom at usual time. 



Epilobium angusiifolium L. In low, wet ground. August, 

 September. 



Oenothera biennis L. Usual location on lower levels. July, 

 August. 



Aralia nudicaulis L. In woody ravines adjacent to brooks. 

 June. 



Panax trifolium L. In damp woods. May. 



Cornus florida L. Good sized trees, fairly common on the lower 

 levels in damp situations. May. The common name of 

 "dogwood " is rarely heard in this vicinity among the natives. 

 It is almost invariably referred to as "shadblow." This, I 

 am told, because of its "blowing" about the time that the 

 shad make their appearance in the Hudson River. It must 

 therefore have originated among the fisher-folk of the Hudson 

 region many years ago. 



Gaultheria procumbens L. Fair-sized colonies throughout the 

 coniferous parts of the woods. July, August. Fruiting in 

 October. 



Kalmia latifolia L. Great numbers in past years, but rapidly 

 thinning, due to tourists. July, fruiting in October. 



Monotropa uniflora L. Not common, generally in low coniferous 

 woods. July. 



Pyrola elliptica Nutt. In low, damp woods. Common. July, 

 fruiting in September. 



Rhododendron nudiflorum (L.) Torrey. On the higher levels, 

 generally along trails and wood roads. Perfume intense. 

 Altitude 1,000 ft. and over. Profusely blooming in May. 



Lysimachia guadrifolia L. Usual locations. June, July.
