REPORT OF THE STATE BOTANIST FOR IO,2I 47 



Origanum vulgare L. 



A form with white flowers occurs near Trenton Falls, C. H. Peck 

 (state herbarium), and may be designated as forma albiflorum 

 forma nova, although it may have already received a name in Euro- 

 pean literature. Doctor Peck has also collected the same form at 

 Phoenicia, Ulster county. 



Equisetum laevigatum A. Br. 



Sandy shores of Oneida lake, Sylvan Beach. House 5450, June 

 5. I9H- 



This has been previously collected in this region and reported as 

 E. hyemale intermedium A. A. Eaton, namely, sand 

 dunes at head of Oneida lake, Vienna (township). Haberer 1950; 

 1950a and 1 50c, June 22, 1904. Doctor Peck has also collected 

 the same species in the sandy plains of Albany county at Karner. 



Another one of the collections by Haberer (no. 1950c) has one to 

 six short branches at each of the upper nodes, sometimes these 

 bearing small or reduced strobili. It may be designated with Doctor 

 Haberer's herbarium name which accompanies the specimen, 

 namely, E. laevigatum forma proliferum Haberer, forma nova. 

 (E. hyemale intermedium forma proliferum 

 Haberer, in herb.) 



1 Onondaga County 



Botrychium Lunaria L. var. onondagense (Underw.) comb. nov. 

 B. onondagense Underw. Torr. Club Bui., 30: 47. 1903 



Renewed examination of this fern, apparently confined to Onon- 

 daga county, convinces the writer that it is merely a lax variety of 

 B . Lunaria, with smaller, more distant and less lunate seg- 

 ments to the sterile leaf -blade. I am also inclined to regard B . 

 tenebrosum A. A. Eaton as an extreme departure of B. 

 Lunaria.
