  The 
  plants 
  were 
  in 
  flower 
  June 
  15th, 
  about 
  a 
  month 
  later 
  than 
  the 
  

  

  time 
  of 
  flowering 
  of 
  the 
  typical 
  form 
  of 
  the 
  species 
  in 
  the 
  same 
  

  

  locality.

  Specimens 
  of 
  this 
  rare 
  moss 
  were 
  collected 
  many 
  years 
  ago 
  on 
  the 
  

   Catskill 
  mountains 
  by 
  the 
  late 
  S. 
  T. 
  Olney. 
  A 
  sample 
  of 
  these 
  

   specimens 
  has 
  been 
  presented 
  to 
  the 
  state 
  herbarium 
  by 
  Mrs 
  E.

  This 
  plant 
  was 
  discovered 
  and 
  published 
  10 
  years 
  ago. 
  It 
  was 
  

   found 
  the 
  second 
  time 
  in 
  July 
  of 
  the 
  present 
  year, 
  growing 
  in 
  sandy 
  

   soil 
  near 
  Gansevoort. 
  These 
  are 
  fine 
  specimens 
  a 
  little 
  larger 
  than 
  

   the 
  typical 
  form. 
  The 
  species 
  is 
  apparently 
  rare.

  This 
  species 
  is 
  very 
  rare. 
  It 
  was 
  found 
  18 
  years 
  ago, 
  and 
  

   since 
  that 
  time 
  had 
  not 
  been 
  seen 
  by 
  me 
  till 
  this 
  summer. 
  It 
  has 
  

   recently 
  been 
  found 
  in 
  Vermont 
  also.

  The 
  variability 
  of^ 
  this 
  species 
  is 
  quite 
  perplexing. 
  Two 
  forms 
  

   occur 
  near 
  Gansevoort. 
  In 
  one 
  the 
  young 
  pileus 
  is 
  red 
  but 
  it 
  fades 
  

   with 
  age 
  to 
  a 
  grayish 
  bufif. 
  It 
  has 
  a 
  persistently 
  red 
  and 
  minutely 
  

   scurfy 
  stem. 
  In 
  the 
  other 
  the 
  pileus 
  is 
  dark 
  brown 
  or 
  olivaceous 
  and 
  

   the 
  stem 
  is 
  pale 
  red 
  or 
  yellow 
  and 
  red. 
  In 
  both, 
  the 
  flesh 
  may 
  be 
  

   either 
  yellow 
  or 
  whitish 
  and 
  the 
  cracks 
  in 
  the 
  pileus 
  may 
  be 
  either 
  

   red 
  or 
  pallid. 
  In 
  both, 
  wounds 
  assume 
  a 
  blue 
  color. 
  The 
  flesh 
  is 
  

   sometimes 
  whitish 
  above 
  and 
  yellow 
  next 
  the 
  tubes.
