There are numerous references to stations in New Jersey that are 

 directly west of this or to the south of it, but no specimens from 

 New Jersey are in the collections. How far south in New Jersey 

 and adjacent Pennsylvania does the hemlock grow ? General 

 works credit the plant from Nova Scotia to ^n the mountains) 

 Alabama. 



7. Picea Mariana (Mill.) B.S.P. Specimens in the collections 

 show this growing only north of a line drawn from Litchfield, 

 Conn., to Tannersville, Monroe Co., Pa. General works and 

 numerous references in local floras seem to show that the tree 

 grows south of this. How far south ? Does it grow along the 

 Palisades, or anywhere else in northern New Jersey ? 



8. Abies balsaniea (L.) Mill. Specimens in the collections 

 exclude this tree from the range except in the Catskills. Gen- 

 eral works and local floras credit it with a more southerly dis- 

 tribution, particularly in the mountains. How far down the 

 Hudson Valley may it be found ? Does it occur in the Pocono 

 region ? In New Jersey ? 



9. TJiuja occidentalis L. West Point and the Highlands of the 

 Hudson are the two most southerly localities represented in the 

 herbaria. Most of the local floras and all the general works say 

 that the plant grows at least in upper New Jersey. Has anyone 

 specimens south of the above stations either in New Jersey or 

 Pennsylvania ? 



Sparganiaceae 



1. Sparganium niiniimtm Fries. The only specimens of this 

 plant in the collections are from Green Pond, N. J. The lately 

 issued treatment in North American Flora gives Labrador to 

 New Jersey, etc. Are any stations known for it in the Catskills, 

 and is the plant localized at Green Pond, so far as the local flora 

 range is concerned ? 



2, Sparganium angiistifoliiini Michx. {S. simplex angiLStifoliiim 

 of the manual). A line drawn from Canaan, Conn., to Green 

 Pond, N. J., represents the southern limit of distribution as shown 

 by the collections. The North American Flora treatment of the 

 species gives the distribution thus : " Newfoundland to Connecti-
