54 Thirty-fourth Annnal Report of the 



Myriophyllum tenellum, Bigel. Not uncommon in the Adirondack 

 region. On the miry shores of Mud-pond, a shallow sheet of water 

 about one mile south-west of Edmonds ponds, it is so plentiful that its 

 peculiar yellowish hue is visible at a long distance. It grows both in 

 and out of water. 



Epilobium angustifolium, L. A form with flowers nearly white, oc- 

 curs occasionally in the Adirondack region. White flowered forms of 

 the following species have been observed the past season ; Verbascum 

 Thapsus, Ecliium vulgare, Mimulus ring ens, Scutellaria lateriflora, 

 Origanum vulgare. The last-named plant is very plentiful about 

 Phoenicia, Ulster county, where it monopolizes some of the pastures 

 and hillsides. 



Epilobium coloratum, Muhl. A small form with unbranched stems 

 six to ten inches high was observed in the Catskill mountains. It re- 

 sembles E'. alpinum, from which it may be distinguished by its acute 

 leaves. 



Ly thrum alatum, Pursh. Bank of Oswego river opposite Battle 

 Island. Wibbe. 



Conioselinum Oanadense, T. & G. Moist cliffs, Oatskill mountains. 



Galium verum, L. Glen Cove. Coles. 



Aster corymbosus, Ait. In the Oatskill mountains three forms oc- 

 cur which are readily distinguished from each other by the flowers. 

 A small form in open grassy places has a dense corymb of small heads 

 with short broad close rays ; a large form in shaded moist places 

 along streams has a loose corymb of larger heads with long narrow dis- 

 tant rays ; a third form, intermediate between these two, grows in 

 thin woods and has rays about midway between the other two in length, 

 breadth and relative position. In all the forms the rays sometimes ex- 

 ceed nine in number. The flowers of the large form resemble those of 

 A. macrophyllus, but the involucre is shorter. 



Aster Tradescanti v. fragilis, T.&G. (A. fragilis, Willd.) Long 

 lake and Raquette falls, Adirondack mountains. It is one of the 

 earliest flowering Asters of this region, being in flower the latter part 

 of July. 



Aster longifolius, Lam. A form with the stem leaves broadly 

 lanceolate and strongly serrate in the middle was found at Phoenicia. 



Aster acuminatus, Mx. Two well-marked forms occur. In one the 

 leaves are crowded on the upper half of the stem, the lower half being 

 nearly or quite destitute of foliage. In cold, elevated localities, as in 

 the Stony Clove of the Catskills, this form has but few heads ; gener- 

 ally from one to six. The other form has a stouter stem, leafy through- 

 out its entire length, and numerous heads of flowers. 



Artemisia Canadensis, Mx. Sandy banks along the railroad near 

 Thurman station, Warren county. 



Eudbeckia laciniata, L. Plentiful in the Catskill mountains, fol- 

 lowing the streams far up toward the Stony Clove. 



Lactuca Canadensis v. sanguinea, T. & G. Fields and cleared places. 

 North Elba. Plants with yellow flowers and those with reddish or 

 orange-colored flowers were associated in the same station. 



Campanula rotundifolia, L. A small form with solitary flowers 

 grows at Edmonds ponds.
