Lonicera sempervirens Linn. 

 Open woods near Sand's Point, Long Island. H. D. House, 

 September 16, 191 5. This is a common species in the south, but 

 is very rare in New York, although it has been reported from 

 southern New England. In Paine's Catalogue of the Plants of 

 Oneida County and Vicinity, it is recorded as having been found by 

 J. H. Hall at Tarrytown and on the hills eastward, and on the 

 borders of Otsego lake, Otsego county, by B. D. Gilbert and H. 

 Lathrop. The latter is an outlying station for the species com- 

 parable to some of the isolated northern stations in New York State 

 for Ilex montana, Ophrys austral is, Blephari- 

 glottis cilia r is, Rhyncospora corniculata, 

 Lathyrus ochroleucus and other species. The report of 

 the Director of the State Museum for 191 5 contains a colored plate 

 illustrating this species, the photograph of which was taken at this 

 locality.
