90 twenty-seventh report on" the state museum. 



Verbena bracteosa Mx. 



Waste grounds. West Troy. P. A. Puissant. Doubt- 

 less introduced from the west. 



Solidago elliptica Ait. 



Black Brook, Long Island. H. W. Young. 



Polygonum Hartwrightii Gr. 



Newark. E. L. Hankenson. Bethlehem. If this species 

 is rightly understood by me it is not rare on the Cayuga 

 marshes, but is seldom found in flower. In the younger 

 plants the spreading foliaceous tips of the sheaths are con- 

 spicuous. 



Euphorbia Cyparissias L. 



Wading River. Long Island. E. S. Miller. 



Scirpus Olneyi Gr. 



Salt marshes, Aquebogue and Wading River. Young, 

 Miller. 



Carex striata Mx. 



Bogs near Riverhead, L. I. Young. The plant referred 

 to this species in New York State Flora is believed to be C. 

 polymorpha Muhl. 



BOTRYCHIUM LUNARTA Swartz. 



Near Syracuse. E. W. Mundy. 



This is a very interesting addition to our list of ferns, and 

 indicates the varied and comprehensive character of our 

 flora. The single specimen sent by Mr. Mundy does not 

 differ in any essential respect from specimens of this species 

 received from the Lake Superior region, hitherto its only 

 reported locality in this country. A specimen of Botrychium 

 received from Mr. Cowles, and unhesitatingly considered 

 the large form of B. simplex as described in Paine's Cata- 

 logue of Oneida County Plants, might, with almost equal 

 propriety, be deemed a small form of this species. It would 

 be remarkable if the two species should be found to run 

 together. 



Botrychium matricarlefolium Braun. 

 Deerfield, Oneida county. E. Hunt. 



Lycopodium sabin^efolium Willd. 



Elevated marshes near Nipple Top and on the slope of 

 Mt. Marcy. 

 This plant is regarded by some as a variety of L. compla-
