Actaea rubra (Ait.) Willd., forma neglecta (Gillman) 

 B. L. Robinson 

 A not infrequent form of the red baneberry about Newcomb, 

 possessing the slender pedicels of the typical species, but the mature 

 fruit pure white in color. As the white baneberry (A. alba) does not 

 occur in this section of the State, the form can not be suspected to 

 be of hybrid origin.

Agastache Foeniculum (Pursh) Kuntze 

 Roadside thickets near Newcomb. House 8478, August 4, 1921. 

 Well established and conspicuous by its purple bracts, calyces 

 and flowers. How this western species came to be so well estab- 

 lished here is not apparent, as the spot is not near any habitations.
