   REMARKS 
  AND 
  OBSERVATIONS. 
  

  

  Yiola 
  Selkiekii 
  Pursli. 
  

  

  Oneida. 
  According 
  to 
  Mr. 
  Warne's 
  observations 
  the 
  flower- 
  

   ing 
  period 
  of 
  this 
  plant 
  continues 
  considerably 
  longer 
  than 
  the 
  

   time 
  indicated 
  in 
  Paine' 
  s 
  Catalogue. 
  

  

  Deoseea 
  longifolia 
  L. 
  

  

  A 
  dwarf 
  form, 
  bearing 
  but 
  a 
  single 
  terminal 
  flower, 
  occurs 
  at 
  

   Calamity 
  Pond, 
  Adirondack 
  Mts. 
  

  

  Rhus 
  copallina 
  L. 
  

   Green 
  Island 
  and 
  Center. 
  

  

  Rhus 
  venenata 
  DC. 
  

  

  Not 
  uncommon 
  in 
  swampy 
  places 
  about 
  Albany. 
  It 
  is 
  gene- 
  

   rally 
  supposed 
  that 
  the 
  poisonous 
  properties 
  of 
  this 
  plant 
  are 
  

   to 
  be 
  dreaded 
  only 
  while 
  the 
  tree 
  is 
  living, 
  but 
  several 
  cases 
  

   have 
  been 
  reported 
  to 
  me 
  in 
  which 
  persons 
  were 
  severely 
  

   poisoned 
  from 
  using 
  the 
  wood 
  as 
  fuel. 
  

  

  Uteiculaeia 
  eesupinata 
  Green. 
  

  

  Shallow 
  water 
  along 
  the 
  shores 
  of 
  Lake 
  Jimmy 
  and

  Mts.

  Ateiplex 
  patula 
  L. 
  

  

  This 
  is 
  evidently 
  spreading 
  and 
  becoming 
  quite 
  common 
  

   about 
  Albany. 
  

  

  PlNUS 
  EESINOSA 
  Ait. 
  

  

  Portage. 
  Clinton. 
  A 
  beautiful 
  grove 
  of 
  young 
  trees 
  of 
  this 
  

   species 
  occurs 
  at 
  Long 
  Lake, 
  Hamilton 
  county. 
  I 
  have 
  seen 
  it 
  

   at 
  Center, 
  in 
  Sandlake, 
  on 
  the 
  Catskill 
  and 
  the 
  Helderberg 
  

   mountains 
  and 
  in 
  several 
  places 
  in 
  the 
  northern 
  counties 
  where 
  

   it 
  is 
  by 
  no 
  means 
  rare. 
  The 
  cones, 
  so 
  far 
  as 
  I 
  have 
  observed, 
  

   are 
  not 
  always 
  deciduous 
  after 
  the 
  falling 
  of 
  the 
  seed, 
  nor 
  are 
  

   they 
  terminal 
  except 
  when 
  quite 
  young, 
  the 
  prolongation 
  of 
  

   the 
  branch 
  soon 
  rendering 
  them 
  lateral. 
  Frequently 
  two 
  and 
  

   sometimes 
  three 
  generations 
  of 
  fully 
  developed 
  cones 
  may 
  be 
  

   seen 
  on 
  a 
  branch 
  at 
  one 
  time. 
  The 
  species 
  may 
  be 
  separated 
  

   from 
  Pinus 
  mitis 
  by 
  the 
  absence 
  of 
  prickles 
  on 
  the 
  cone 
  scales 
  

   and 
  by 
  the 
  longer 
  leaves 
  which 
  occur 
  only 
  in 
  pairs. 
  

  

  Pinus 
  Baxksiaxa 
  Lambert. 
  

  

  Having 
  compared 
  southern 
  specimens 
  of 
  Pinus 
  inops 
  Ait. 
  

   with 
  the 
  New 
  York 
  specimens 
  formerly 
  reported 
  as 
  P. 
  inops, 
  

   I 
  am 
  satisfied 
  that 
  the 
  latter 
  should 
  be 
  referred 
  to 
  P. 
  BanTcsiana,
