Epilobium adenocaulon Hamsk. 



Catskill mountains. In the Thirty-third Eeport this was reported 

 as a form of E. coloratum; but it is now raised to specific rank. 



Digitalis purpurea L. 



Morehouseville. July. The foxglove is a highly ornamental plant, 

 and sometimes escapes from cultivation and becomes established in 

 fields and pastures. In the locality mentioned it was growing in a 

 meadow and an adjoining pasture. About half the plants bore pure 

 white flowers. The lower leaves of some of the plants were spotted 

 by a parasitic fungus, Bamularia variabilis.

This is the fourth species of Armillaria found in the State. It is 



a large, fine fungus, easily known by its white and yellowish hues, 



its crowded lamellae, viscid stem and peculiar penetrating almost 



alcaline odor. The cuticle of the pileus is thin and soft to the 



touch, but it sometimes cracks longitudinally and is sometimes 



slightly adorned with innate fibrils. A. dehiscens is said to have a 



viscid stem, but it is also squamose and the pileus is yellowish 



ochraceous.

 Pileus thick, firm, at first hemispherical, then convex, often 

 irregular, dry, squamulose, somewhat silky-fibrillose toward the
