of the plant, but Hogsradt in his list of the plants found near Pine 

 Plains, Dutchess Co., N, Y., says of it (in 1875) "very rare, only 

 a single specimen in Sackett's Marsh," Has the locality any re- 

 cent verification ? The plant should grow in the Catskills but 

 collections at hand do not show this. 



Alismaceae 



1. Lophotocarpus spongiosus (Engelm.) J. G. Smith. The most 

 southerly point from which this plant has been collected is 

 Hackensack River, N. J, In general works it is credited with a 

 range from New Brunswick to Virginia. In Britton, Cat. of Plants 

 of New Jersey, a single station, Camden, is cited. What is its 

 distribution in New Jersey and northward ? Has it ever been 

 seen on Long Island ? 



2. Sagittaria rigida Pursh. As shown by the specimens in 

 herbaria this plant is apparently more restricted in distribution 

 than general works postulate it to be. So far as the local range 

 is concerned it is not reported from north of Easton, Pa., or south 

 of New Brunswick, N. J. This hmitation of the range by our 

 specimens is surely wrong. Stations north or south of these 

 points will settle its local distribution. 



3. Sagittaria pubescens Muhl. There are no specimens from 

 the range in the collections. North American Flora credits it to 

 New Jersey and the Handbook of the flora of Philadelphia and 

 vicinity gives Bucks, Chester, and Northampton counties as 

 stations. Specimens from any of these localities, particularly from 

 New Jersey, are desired in order that its local distribution shall be 

 permanently recorded in the club herbarium. 



4. Sagittaria ciineata Sheldon. The local collectors are lack- 

 ing in specimens of this. According to North American Flora 

 it is found in Connecticut. Any specimens from this state or 

 adjacent New York are desirable. 



5. Sagittaria Eatoni J. G. Smith. We have no specimens 

 from the range. North American Flora gives its general dis- 

 tribution thus " Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Long Island, 

 New York." Smith * writes of seeing specimens from the shores
