  In 
  our 
  botanies, 
  Pennsylvania 
  is 
  the 
  northeastern 
  limit 
  assigned 
  

   to 
  the 
  range 
  of 
  this 
  plant. 
  Its 
  discovery 
  near 
  Jamesville 
  by 
  Mrs 
  

   Goodrich 
  extends 
  its 
  range 
  northward 
  and 
  adds 
  a 
  beautiful 
  little 
  

   wild 
  flower 
  to 
  our 
  flora. 
  Its 
  usual 
  flowering 
  time 
  is 
  in 
  spring, 
  

   but 
  these 
  specimens 
  were 
  found 
  in 
  flower 
  the 
  last 
  week 
  in 
  October. 
  

   The 
  plants 
  grew 
  in 
  patches 
  several 
  feet 
  in 
  diameter. 
  The 
  species 
  

   is 
  described 
  in 
  Gray's 
  Manual 
  under 
  the 
  name 
  Phacelia 
  

   parviflora

  This 
  species 
  of 
  mildew 
  is 
  peculiar 
  in 
  its 
  perithecia 
  having 
  

   two 
  sets 
  of 
  appendages, 
  one 
  apical, 
  the 
  other 
  basal. 
  It 
  is 
  specially 
  

   injurious 
  to 
  the 
  young 
  branches 
  of 
  trees 
  in 
  the 
  nursery, 
  but 
  it 
  

   rarely 
  attacks 
  the 
  twigs 
  of 
  old 
  trees, 
  though 
  suckers 
  from 
  the 
  base 
  

   or 
  roots 
  are 
  said 
  to 
  be 
  more 
  liable 
  to 
  attack.
