  McGuire; 
  communicated 
  by 
  Mr. 
  J. 
  B. 
  Fuller. 
  The 
  yellow 
  cress 
  is 
  an 
  

   introduced 
  and 
  sparingly 
  naturalized 
  plant. 
  Specimens 
  were 
  col- 
  

   lected 
  several 
  years 
  ago 
  near 
  Flushing, 
  Long 
  Island. 
  

  

  Lepidium 
  campestre 
  Br. 
  

  

  The 
  field 
  pepper 
  grass 
  is 
  an 
  introduced 
  species, 
  which 
  is 
  gradually 
  

  

  spreading 
  through 
  the 
  State, 
  and 
  is 
  attracting 
  some 
  attention 
  as 
  a 
  

  

  pernicious 
  weed. 
  Mr. 
  Fuller 
  sends 
  specimens 
  with 
  the 
  following 
  

  

  note: 
  *'It 
  is 
  frequent 
  in 
  grain 
  fields 
  in 
  the 
  western 
  part 
  of 
  Monroe 
  

  

  county, 
  where 
  it 
  is 
  locally 
  known 
  as 
  'long 
  John.' 
  It 
  is 
  rarely 
  observed 
  

  

  in 
  the 
  eastern 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  county."

  Arenaria 
  Groenlandica 
  Spreng. 
  

  

  Unusually 
  large 
  specimens 
  of 
  this 
  plant 
  were 
  collected 
  near 
  Lake 
  

   Mohonk, 
  Ulster 
  county. 
  They 
  were 
  still 
  flowering 
  early 
  in 
  October.

  July. 
  The 
  branches 
  in 
  our 
  

   specimens 
  are 
  widely 
  spreading 
  and 
  the 
  flowers 
  apetalous. 
  

  

  Tilia 
  pubescens 
  Ait. 
  

  

  Near 
  Riverhead, 
  Suffolk 
  county. 
  July. 
  Our 
  specimens 
  are 
  from 
  

   the 
  same 
  source 
  as 
  those 
  mentioned 
  in 
  Sargent's 
  Trees 
  of 
  North 
  

   America, 
  as 
  coming 
  from 
  this 
  locality. 
  The 
  station 
  was 
  discovered 
  

   by 
  Mr. 
  E. 
  S. 
  Miller.

  Camillus 
  and 
  Marcellus 
  Station, 
  Onondaga 
  county. 
  June. 
  This 
  

   indicates 
  a 
  more 
  northern 
  range 
  for 
  the 
  species 
  than 
  has 
  hitherto 
  

   been 
  attributed 
  to 
  it. 
  The 
  flower 
  buds 
  had 
  not 
  yet 
  opened 
  when 
  the 
  

   specimens 
  were 
  collected. 
  

  

  Flcerkea 
  proserpinacoides 
  Willd. 
  

   The 
  false 
  mermaid 
  is 
  rare 
  in 
  the 
  eastern 
  part 
  of 
  our 
  State 
  and 
  in 
  

   the 
  New 
  York 
  Flora 
  it 
  is 
  credited 
  to 
  the 
  western 
  part 
  only. 
  There 
  is, 
  

   however, 
  a 
  station 
  in 
  a 
  low 
  piece 
  of 
  woods 
  near 
  Meadowdale, 
  Albany 
  

   county, 
  in 
  which 
  it 
  grows 
  in 
  considerable 
  abundance.
