POTAMOGETON OAKESIANUS RobUnS. 



Wading River. Miller. 



Habenaria ciliaris R. Br. 



This most beautiful plant was detected near Manlius, by Mr. Wibbe. 



Trillium erythrocarpum Mx. 



A monstrosity in which all the parts, except the stem and stigmas, appear 

 to be double. There are six leaves, six sepals, six petals, twelve stamens, 

 and apparently two ovaries closely united. The stigmas are numerous, but 

 I have not been able to count them accurately. Oswego. Wibbe. 



Cham^elirium luteum L. 



Near Nassau, Rensselaer county. Wibbe. 



Scirpus Eriophorum Mx. v. cyperinus Gr. 

 Oswego. Wibbe. 



Rhynchospora macrostachya Torr. 



Shore of " Mud Pond," five miles southwest of Oswego. Wibbe. 



Bromus Tectorum L. 



Along the Hudson River railroad. Greenbush. 



Triticum caninum L. 



Buffalo. Clinton. This is a remarkable variety in which the leaves are 

 involute and the sheaths hairy. 



ASPIDIUM SPINULOSUM Sw. V. DUMETORUM Sm. 



Syracuse. Mrs. S. M. Rust. 

 Aspidium cristatum Sw. v. Clintonianum Eaton. 



Buffalo. Clinton. 

 Aspidium aculeatum Sw. v. Braunii.^oc^. 



This beautiful fern proves to be more common than was at first supposed. 

 I have observed it in three new localities the past season. Near Summit, 

 Schoharie county ; near Griffins, Delaware county ; and in the Catskill 

 Mountains, near Big Indian. 



Onoclea sensibilis L. v. obtusilobata Torr. 



Syracuse. Mrs. Rust. 



BOTRYCHIUM LUNARIA Sw. 



Mrs. Rust sends specimens of this interesting fern from the original 

 locality near Syracuse, where she first discovered it. She writes that the 

 plants occur in but one little spot, and, with most commendable care for the 

 preservation of the fern, she says that she cautiously plucks a few without 

 taking them up by the roots. We sincerely hope that others who may possess 

 the knowledge of this single New York locality, may be equally careful not 

 to destroy it. It is greatly to be regretted that the locality of Woodsia 

 glabella, at Little Falls, has been exhausted, and its loss should stimulate all 

 true lovers of nature to be careful of such rare gifts. 



Mrs. Rust finds, in Onondaga (jounty, thirty-seven of the fifty species of 

 ferns that have been detected in the State. 



BOTRYCHIUM SIMPLEX Hitch. 



Near Oswego. Wibbe.
