On moist shaded banks along the shore of Fourth lake. House

The bud within the base of the stem is clothed with a dense 

 white silky pubescence. The spores were scarcely mature at this 

 date even on the largest plants. 



Galeopsis Tetrahit L. 

 This naturalized plant is very common in recent clearings, culti- 

 vated soil and along roads throughout the Adirondack region. A note 

 by Fernald and Wiegand (Rhodora, 12: 142. 1910), led to an 

 examination of numerous specimens in Herkimer, Hamilton and 

 Essex counties, all of which prove to be the var. bifida (Boenn.) 

 Lejeune & Courtois (Comp. Fl. Belg., 2: 241. 1831), as described 

 by Fernald & Wiegand. 



Ilex bronxensis Britton 

 Common in marshes along Fourth lake. House 6709, August 6, 

 1919. 



Rubus strigosus Michx, var. heterolasius (Fernald) comb. nov. 

 R. Idaeus var. heterolasius Fernald, Rhodora, : 97. 



The new canes are like those in the variety canadensis, but 

 the prickles are stout and broad based. Collected by Dr C. H. Peck 

 at Big Moose Station (state herbarium).

 growing chiefly in drier soil than the typical species, and the plants 

 lower with more spreading stems and smaller leaves.
