Primula Mistassinica Miclix.

Fkagakia yesca Z. 



The white-fruited form of this species is abundant in Skanea- 

 teles. 8. N. Coioles. It also occurs in Nassau, Pensselaer county, 

 and in Bethlehem, Albany county. By cultivation, the appear- 

 ance of the plant is considerably changed. The flowering stems 

 become elongated and dicliotomously branched above, the primary 

 division is subtended by a well developed leaf and the fruit is pro- 

 duced throughout the season. It would make a fine addition to 

 the ordinary varieties cultivated by gardeners. 



JUNCUS ALPINUS T. INSIGNIS Fv. 



Sodus Point, Lake Ontario. HanJcenson. 



Danthonia compressa Aust. 



Mr. Cowles sends specimens exactly intermediate between this 

 species and D. sjpicata^ whence it is probable that the former is a 

 variety of the latter dependent on locality. 



POLYPODIUM VULGARE Y. CaMBRICUM Z. 



'' Indian Brook," near Cold Spring. Miss Sarah P. Monk. A 

 sterile but most interesting variety. 



ASPIDIUM ACULEATUM Y. BrAUNII Koch. 



Stony Clove, Catskill mountains. Discovered there by J. H. 

 Eedfieid. This locality is evidently very favorable to the growth 

 of ferns. In July last, the following nineteen species were observed 

 while passing along the road, about the distance of half a mile, and 

 in no case going more than four rods from it. 



Aspidium spinulosum Swartz. 

 A. margin ale Swartz. 

 A. acrostichoides Swartz. 

 A. aculeatum Swartz. 

 Struthiopteris Germanica Willd. 

 Onoclea sensibilis Z. . 

 Woodsia Ilvensis R. B7\ 

 Dicksonia punctilobula Kze. 

 Botrychium Yirginicum Swartz. 



Polypodium vulgare Z. 

 Adiantum pedatum Z. 

 Pteris aqnilina Z. 

 Asplenium thelypteroides Mx. 

 A. Filix-foemina Bernh. 

 Phegopteris polypodioides Fee. 

 P. Dryopteris Fee. 

 Cystopteris bulbifera Bernh. 

 C. fragilis Bernli. 

 Aspidium Thelypteris Swartz. 



The whole number of species now known to belong to the State 

 is forty-four, excluding the doubtful inhabitant Lygodium pahna- 

 tuin. It will thus be seen that nearly half our species occur in the 

 " Stony Clove." 



BoTRTCHniM LANCEOLATUM Angst. 



This rare fern occurs on an island in Lake Mohegan. Zeggett.
