the commonest species of the genus in rich, moist woodlands, while 

 Viola pallens (V. blanda Auth. not Ait.) with which

Viola incognita var. forbsii Brainerd 

 Rich, moist woods, near Pecksport. H. D. House, June lo, 1914. 

 No. 5520. 



Rhodiola rosea Linn. 



(Sedum roseum Scop., Sedum rhodiola DC.) 



Limestone cliffs at Chittenango Falls. H. D. House, July 26y 

 1914. No. 5730. First collected here several years ago and deter- 

 mined by Dr B. L. Robinson. The colony of plants consists of less 

 than a dozen individuals, tightly wedged in an almost inaccessible 

 crevice of the cliff. The range of the species is chiefly subarctic, 

 from Labrador to Maine and Vermont and northern Europe. The 

 State herbarium contains in addition a specimen collected on the 

 cliffs of the west side of Seneca lake, many years ago by Samuel 

 H. Wright M. D., and which has seemingly passed unquestioned as 

 Sedum telephioides Michx., which it was labeled. The fruit 

 character, however, consisting of four erect f olicles with their tips 

 barely spreading, serves to distinguish it readily from Se d u m 

 telephioides, which possesses usually five distinctly spread- 

 ing f olicles. According to the books Rhodiola rosea has 

 also been collected on the cliffs of the Delaware river in eastern 

 Pennsylvania.
