In our botanies, Pennsylvania is the northeastern limit assigned 
to the range of this plant. Its discovery near Jamesville by Mrs 
Goodrich extends its range northward and adds a beautiful little 
wild flower to our flora. Its usual flowering time is in spring, 
but these specimens were found in flower the last week in October. 
The plants grew in patches several feet in diameter. The species 
is described in Gray’s Manual under the name Phacelia 
parviflora Pursh. 
Phaeopezia retiderma (Cke.) Sace. 
Ground in shaded places. Sandlake, Rensselaer co.

Parasitic on living twigs of appletrees. Clyde, Wayne co. W.L.

This species of mildew is peculiar in its perithecia having 
two sets of appendages, one apical, the other basal. It is specially 
injurious to the young branches of trees in the nursery, but it 
rarely attacks the twigs of old trees, though suckers from the base 
or roots are said to be more liable to attack.
