REMARKS AND OBSERVATION 



Viola Selkirkii, Pursh. Plentiful in a pine grove near West Al- 

 bany. The large pale blunt spur is a conspicuous feature in the 

 flowers of this species. 



Hypericum mutilum, L. A tall form, 12 to 15 in. high, with 

 straight branches, occurs near Riverhead. Its cyme is leafy, and thus 

 connects the variety gymnanthum with the typical form. 



Linum striatum, Walt. Wet banks near Newburgh. July. 



Hieracium venosum var. subcaulescens, Gr. A form of this plant 

 with the veins of the leaves uncolored was found near Wading River. 

 It was in full flower in September. 



Lycopus Europaeus var. sessilifolius, Gr. Near Riverhead. 



Convolvulus arvensis, L. Fields near Newburgh. 



Polygonum Hartwrightii, Gr. Flowering specimens were found 

 on the shore of the "Green Lake" west of Jamesville. In all the 

 specimens seen the peduncle was axillary, not terminal as in P. am- 

 phi bin in. 



Quercus Phellos, L. Tottenville. Britton. 



Potamogeton amplifolius, Tuchm. Thompson's Lake, Helderberg 

 mountains, and near Warwick, Orange county. 



Potamogeton gramineus var. heterophyllus, Fr. Thompson's Lake, 

 also " Green Lake" near Jamesville. In low muddy places east of 

 the latter lake it forms a dense carpet over the surface of the ground. 



Potamogeton, Robbinsii, Oakes. Ballston Lake. July. Though the 

 plants were abundant and the flowering spikes numerous, the stems 

 being sometimes excessively branched above, no good fruit could be 

 found. The plants grow at the head of the lake in company with 

 Potamogeton loncliites, P. perfoliatus, P. compressus, P. hyhridus, 

 P. Claytonii, P. pectinatus and Bidens Beckii. 



Triglochin palustre, L. Abundant in marshy ground near Manlius 

 Center. 



Hemerocallis fulva, L. Banks of streams in fields. Guilderland. 

 Escaped from gardens, but thriving without cultivation. 



Juncus maritimus Lam. This rush was found some years ago on 

 Coney Island. Specimens were collected there again the past season by 

 Mr. N. L. Britton, thus showing that it is still maintaining its foot- 

 hold amid the march of improvement on that island. 



Carex tentaculata var. altior, Boott. (G. Purshii Olney.) Charlton 

 and North Greenbush. 



Carex intumescens,/2^J(/e. Helderberg mountains. A starved form 

 with but one or two perigynia in a spike. 



Scolopendrium vulgare, 8m. A rediscovery of this interesting fern 

 was recently made by Mrs. Barnes and other members of the Syracuse 

 Botauical Club, probably in the identical station where it was found 

 by Pursh in 1807, Specimens collected in this locality by Mrs. 

 Leavenworth were kindly contributed by Mrs. M. J. Myers. If we
