REPORT OF THE STATE BOTANIST FOR 10,21 43 



Common in low grounds, especially about Lake Ontario, Oneida 

 lake and other localities in the Ontario lowlands and the St Law- 

 rence basin, where it appears to represent an indigenous or native 

 form of the European E. crusgalli. Has also been collected 

 by Peck, along the Hudson river near Albany.

Juncus inflexus L. (/. glaucus Ehrh.) 

 Growing in dense round clumps, 1 to 3 feet broad, on springy 

 hillsides along and adjacent to the Willanoa creek, near Waterville, 

 town of Sangerfield. House, August 18, 1917. Determined by 

 F. V. Coville. 



Native of Europe, where widely distributed. Not previously 

 reported from America. It is perhaps introduced at the above 

 locality, although if so, the introduction must have occurred many 

 years ago, as the plants are numerous and thoroughly at home, 

 occupying quite an extent of sloping boggy or springy soil which has 

 apparently never been under cultivation, but has been used for 

 pasturage at various times. 



Rosa rubifolia R. Br. 



Open swampy ground east of Oneida. House 6446, July 11, 1919. 

 Apparently native, and distinguished from R. setigera Michx. 

 by its pale, almost white, velvety under surfaces of the leaves.

 strigulose and quite slender ; foliage grayish with a very fine, closely 

 appressed indument ; leaflets three, blades 8-12 mm wide, not appreci- 

 ably ciliate; peduncles longer than the petioles, rarely overtopping
