REPORT OF THE STATE BOTANIST FOR IO,2I 2$ 



Comandra livida Richards. 



Near the summit of Mount Marcy. A. B. Brooks, June 23. 



This is not only an interesting addition to the list of arctic-alpine 

 plants of the summit of Mount Marcy, but is also new to the state 

 flora. 



Cornus canadensis L., forma elongata (Peck) comb. nov. 

 Comus canadensis var. elongata Peck, N. Y. State Mus. Bui. 150: 44. 1911 



Averyville marsh, near North Elba. Dr C. H. Peck, September 

 14, 191 1. Also collected by Doctor Peck at Sandlake, Rensselaer 

 county, July 14, 1910 (type). 



Doellingeria umbellata (Mill.) Nees 

 var. pubens (A. Gray) comb. nov. 

 Aster umbellatus var. pubens Gray, Syn. Fl., I 3 : 107. 1884 



The lower surfaces of the oblong-lanceolate leaves tomentulose- 

 pubescent. Ausable river. Dr C. H. Peck ( state herbarium) . More 

 common west of our borders. 



Aster nemoralis Ait. f. 



Frequent in a sphagnum bog on the border of Woodruff pond, 

 Newcomb. House 7530, September 6. 



This has been regarded by Hill (Vascular Flora of the Eastern 

 Penobscot Region, Maine, 1919) as a " Carolinian " plant. It is 

 now known from five Adirondack localities in the counties of Essex, 

 St Lawrence, Hamilton and Herkimer. Its peculiar distribution 

 northward into the Canadian life zone makes it impossible to regard 

 it as a typical Carolinian plant, and in this respect it is like Viola 

 lanceolata L., Lycopodium inundatum and a few 

 other species. 



Heliopsis scabra Dunal. 



Moist roadside thicket near Newcomb. House 8452, August 3, 

 1 921. Perhaps not native, as only a single colony was found.

 Hewitt's pond and other localities in Newcomb. House 7333, July 



15-30.
