}■ Genesee County 



Senecio aureus x pauperculus, hyb. nom. nov. 

 5". aureus x Balsamitae Greenman, Rhodora, 10:69. 1808 



Bergen swamp, Genesee county, House (state herbarium). 



Ranunculus alleghaniensis Britton 

 Near LeRoy. M. S. Baxter, May 23, 192 1. Also collected in 

 the same vicinity by E. P. Killip. 



Valerianella chenopodifolia (Pursh) DC. 

 Near LeRoy. M. S. Baxter, 5568, May 23, 192 1. 



Hamilton County 

 Agastache urticifolia (Benth.) Kuntze 

 Along roadsides near Wells. Dr C. H. Peck (N. Y. State Mus. 

 Bui. 75, p. 22. 1904, as A. scrophulariaefolia). An 

 examination of the specimens cited by Peck shows that they belong 

 to the far western species. Peck points out the characteristic dif- 

 ferences but either from lack of adequate literature or of authentic 

 specimens for comparison, reported it as a form of A . scro- 

 phulariaefolia. It is probably an escape from cultivation, 

 since as an ornamental plant it possesses considerable merit. 



Aster Tradescanti L., var. saxatilis (Fernald) comb. nov. 



A. vimineus var. saxatilis Fernald, Rhodora, 1 :i86. 1899 

 A. saxatilis Blanchard, Am. Bot, 7:27. 1904 



Racquette Lake, C. H. Peck (state herbarium) 



Uncommon or rare in rocky situations in northern New York.

 vimineus.
