of Long Island Sound. Has any one collected it recently from 

 Long Island or Connecticut? 



6. Sagittar'ia borata (Chapm.) Small. There are no specimens 

 from the range. General works report it from Connecticut to 

 New Jersey, etc. The Catalogue of New Jersey plants gives 

 numerous stations, all of which it is desirable to permanently 

 record in the club herbarium. 



Elodeaceae 



1. PJiilotria canadensis (Michx.) Britton. Princeton, N. J., is 

 the only station represented in the collection. With a general 

 range including territory from Quebec to Virginia, this localiza-

 are desired. So far as known the staminate flowers of this species

 Has any one ever seen a staminate flower ? 



2. Philotria Nuttallii (^Planch) Rydb. There are only three 

 stations represented in the material at hand, and they are all near 

 New York City. Generally speaking this species is more com-

 more diversified than the collections show. 



Hydrocharitaceae 



I. Liinnobiiini 5/^;/§/<^ (Bosc) Rich. There are no specimens 

 from the range. In the Cat. PI. New Jersey is the following 

 record : " Monmouth [Co.] : Swimming River, rare. — Knieskom. 

 Not recently collected, and not seen by me from the State." The 

 general range given in North American Flora is from New Jersey 

 and Ontario to Florida, etc. Has anyone recent specimens from 

 any part of our range ? 



Araceae 

 I. Arisaema Stezvardsonii Britton. The only specimen from 

 the range was collected at Tannersville, Pa. Letters and notes 

 are extant going to show its occurrence at other stations but 

 there are no specimens to substantiate these claims. Recent 

 notice of it at Plainfield, N. J., again unaccompanied by speci-
