Erysimum cheiranthoides L. 



A small form 6-10 inches tall with leaves scarcely more than one 

 inch long was found growing about water holes in a pasture near 

 Clayton, Jefferson co. 



Geoglossum peckianum Cke. 



Specimens of this rare species were found growing among hair 

 cap mosses near Wading River, Suffolk co. August. A slender 

 form of Geoglossum nigritum (Fr.) Cke. was found by 

 S. H. Burnham growing among sphagnum in a marsh near Shushan. 



Habenaria ciliaris (L.) R. Br. 



This beautiful orchid still lingers near Karner in what appears 

 formerly to have been a swamp hole. It was discovered there two 

 years ago and was in fine flowering condition at that time, July 22. 

 The past season it w^as in the same flowering condition August 18, 

 illustrating strikingly the influence of the season in retarding the 

 development of vegetation. 



Hydnum septentrionale Fr. 



The difference between the young plant and the mature one is 

 very great, and to illustrate this diff'erence a figure of each is given 

 on plates 9 and 10 in I c n e s H y m e n m y c e t u in . A speci- 

 men of the young plant was found near Fine, St Lawrence co. 

 growing on the trunk of a standing sugar maple. It corresponds 

 beautifully with the Friesian figure. 



Hypholoma sublateritium (Schaeff.) Fr. 



This species has been unusually abundant the latter part of the 

 season. It has, in those cases coming under my observation, shown 

 a darker and mcfre uniformly brownish red color of the cap than is 

 shown in H. p e r p 1 e x u m Pk. This, taken in connection with 

 its stuffed stem, makes the separation of the two quite easy. Its 

 flavor, however, is not always bitter, as is indicated by the descrip- 

 tions of the European plant. 



Morchella deliciosa Fr. 



The name of the delicious morel imi)lios that it is specially agree- 

 able as an article of food. In confirmation of this I am pleased to
