liEPORT OF THE STATE BOTANIST 1902 ^ 33 



Myriophyllum humile (Raf.) Moron g 



Muddy shore of a small pond near Smithtown, Suffolk co. 

 August. A small, rare and pretty little plant. 



Erigeron ramosus (Walt.) B. S. P. 

 The variety discoideus has been unusually plentiful about 

 Albany the past season. The peculiarly cool, wet season was 

 probably favorable to it. 



Galinsoga parviflora hispida DC. 

 This introduced plant is reported by Mrs M. A. B. Kelly to be 

 acting like a pestilent weed in a garden at Gloversville. 



Antennaria neglecta simplex n. var. 



Stems 7-9 inches long, heads of flowers single or occasionally 

 two, very rarely three; involucral bracts oblong or linear, acute 

 or the outer obtusish, brownish with white tips. Sandlake. May. 



These plants grew in a patch about 6 feet in diameter. They 

 have a peculiar appearance by reason of the single heads. 



Helianthus giganteus L. 

 Roadsides. Keene, Essex co. September. A rare plant in this 

 part of the State. 



Polymnia canadensis radiata Gray 

 Near Syracuse. June. Miss M. L. Overacker. 



Xanthium canadense L. 



A dwarf form of this species, 6-10 inches high, is plentiful on 



sandy and gravelly shores of Lake (^hamplain at Crown Point. 



The burs sometimes have but one beak, and the prickles are 



strongly curved. 



Verbena hastata L. 



A plant having a close resemblance to this species was collected 

 at Trenton Falls. Its spikes are less dense, and its flowers are 

 pink. It is probably a hybrid of V. hastata and V. u r 1 1 c i- 

 folia.
