Eriophorum paucinervum (Engehn.) A. A. Eaton 



Castle swamp, Oneida. H. D. House. No. 1134. 



Daphne mezereum Linn. 



This attractive shrub seems to have become established as a 

 permanent member of our flora. It has been reported two or three 

 times by Doctor Peck from various parts of the State and specimens 

 have been sent in for identification from several widely separated 

 localities within the past two years. It appears to be well established

 5205; 1913).

 plant where I first found it several years ago ( no. 1163;- 1905). 



Isotria verticillata (L.) Raf. 



Fiddlers' Green, Pecksport, near Eaton. H. D. House. No. 1248. 



Doctor Bradley found this species here about 1840 and it is one 



of the two localities known to Doctor Torrey (see Torrey, Fl. N. Y.
