Gloeosporium divergens n. sp. 



Spots large, irregular, commonly occupying the lobes and margin 

 of the leaves, definite, pale brown, either with or without a slight 

 inconspicuous reddish brown margin on the upper surface; heaps 

 mostly hypophyllous, rarely epiphyllous and then chiefly along the 

 veinlets, 120-160 fx broad, darker colored than the spots; spores 

 narrowly elliptic or oblong, often 2-nucleate, hyaline, 10-15 /^ 

 long, 4-6 a broad. 



Living leaves of white oak, Quercus alba L. Menands, 

 Albany co. July. 



Maculae magnae, irregulares, foliorum lobas marginemque oc- 

 cupantes, definitae, pallide brumieae, interdum supra margine an- 

 gusto inconspicuo, rufescento-brunneo; acervuli vulgo hypophylli, 

 rare epiphylli et tunc ad venulas, 120-160 :> lati, maculis brunniores; 

 sporae anguste ellipsoideae oblongaeve, saepe 2-nucleatae, hyalinae, 

 10-15 X 4-6^ . 



Grindelia squarrosa (Pursh) Dunal 



Dry pastures on hillsides. Granville, Washington co. Septem- 

 ber. F. T. Pember. A showy introduced plant. 



Mr Pember remarks concerning it, ''I can only suggest that 

 it may have been introduced in western grass seed. It is scat- 

 tered about over two acres, and in some places constitutes nearly all 

 the vegetation. There must be several thousand plants of it." 



Helianthus petiolaris Nutt. 



In a lawn. Rochester. July. M. S. Baxter. Introduced from 

 the West. Determined by Dr P. A. Rydberg. Possibly not perma- 

 nently established. 



Heterothecium pezizoideum (Ach.) Plot. 



Spruce bark. Black mountain, Washington co. August. S. H. 

 Burnham. 



Hygrophorus caprinus (Scop.) Fr. 



Near Ithaca. November. G. F. Atkinson. Collected by C. H. 

 Kaufifman. 



Hypericum prolificum L. 



Hannibal, Oswego co. August. L. L. Shaflf. 

 Tliis is a large shrub1)y plant and it seems strange that it should 

 so long have escaped detection in our State unless it is very local.
