Senecio Robbinsii Oakes 

 Common in pastures and on cleared land especially east of New- 

 comb. House 7292, July 15-30. 



Senecio aureus x Robbinsii, hyb. nov. 



This was at first taken to be S. Robbinsii with broad leaves. 

 The plants are exactly intermediate in appearance between S. 

 aureus and S. Robbinsii, the former growing in a bog 

 adjacent to the colony of hybrid plants, and the latter common on a 

 sandy slope above the bog. S. Robbinsii usually blooms 

 much earlier than S. aureus, but not infrequently especially 

 in this section of the State, the blossoming period of the two 

 species overlaps, which was the case at the place and date where 

 this hybrid colony was detected near Newcomb. House 8013, June 

 8, 1921.
