  Euonymus 
  atropurpureus 
  Jacq. 
  

   Eanks 
  of 
  the 
  Genesee 
  river

   The 
  wild 
  strawberry 
  is 
  a 
  variable 
  plant 
  and 
  indicates 
  in 
  the 
  fields 
  

   Its 
  tendency 
  to 
  run 
  into 
  numerous 
  varieties. 
  Near 
  Meadowdale 
  a 
  

   form 
  was 
  found 
  bearing 
  flowers 
  scarcely 
  more 
  than 
  half 
  the 
  usual 
  

   size. 
  These 
  small 
  flowers 
  are 
  followed 
  by 
  very 
  small 
  fruit. 
  The 
  

   "breadth 
  of 
  the 
  receptacle 
  of 
  the 
  flower 
  indicates 
  in 
  some 
  degree 
  the 
  

   •size 
  of 
  the 
  resulting 
  fruit. 
  From 
  a 
  broad 
  receptacle 
  we 
  would 
  expect 
  

   a 
  large 
  fruit, 
  from 
  a 
  narrow 
  one, 
  a 
  small 
  fruit. 
  Possibly 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  

   forms 
  referred 
  to 
  this 
  species 
  will 
  yet 
  be 
  shown 
  to 
  be 
  distinct 
  species. 
  

  

  Zizia 
  cordata 
  DC. 
  

  

  A 
  form 
  with 
  the 
  radical 
  or 
  basal 
  leaves 
  trifoliate 
  was 
  found 
  grow- 
  

   ing 
  with 
  the 
  ordinary 
  form 
  in 
  the 
  borders 
  of 
  woods 
  near 
  New 
  Balti- 
  

   more, 
  Greene 
  county. 
  In 
  one 
  or 
  two 
  instances 
  both 
  entire 
  and 
  

   trifoliate 
  basal 
  leaves 
  were 
  found 
  on 
  the 
  same 
  plant. 
  

  

  Viburnum 
  lantanoides 
  Mx. 
  

  

  The 
  hobble 
  bush 
  is 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  prevailing 
  shrubs 
  of 
  the 
  Adirondack 
  

   forests. 
  Wherever 
  we 
  go 
  in 
  this 
  mountainous 
  region 
  we 
  find 
  it 
  ex- 
  

   tending 
  its 
  long 
  horizontal 
  branches 
  as 
  if 
  to 
  welcome 
  us 
  to 
  its 
  forest 
  

   home 
  with 
  outstretched 
  arms, 
  but 
  really 
  to 
  impede 
  our 
  steps, 
  for 
  the 
  

   interlocking 
  of 
  the 
  branches 
  of 
  neighboring 
  plants 
  or 
  the 
  rooting 
  at 
  

   the 
  tip 
  of 
  an 
  occasional 
  deflexed 
  branch 
  makes 
  traveling 
  difficult 
  and 
  

   sometimes 
  causes 
  a 
  trip 
  and 
  a 
  fall. 
  

  

  This 
  shrub 
  is 
  generally 
  three 
  or 
  four 
  feet 
  high 
  and 
  bears 
  a 
  few 
  hori- 
  

   zontally 
  spreading 
  branches 
  which 
  are 
  nearly 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  the 
  parent 
  

   stem. 
  But 
  plants 
  were 
  noticed 
  the 
  past 
  summer 
  in 
  the 
  southern 
  part 
  

   of 
  Essex 
  county 
  between 
  the 
  Boreas 
  and 
  Hudson 
  rivers 
  that 
  were 
  

   ten 
  feet 
  high. 
  These 
  tall 
  individuals 
  generally 
  had 
  shorter 
  and 
  more 
  

   numerous 
  branches 
  than 
  their 
  more 
  lowly 
  neighbors, 
  and 
  these 
  were 
  

   ascending 
  in 
  direction, 
  diverging 
  from 
  the 
  stem 
  at 
  a 
  smaller 
  angle 
  

   than 
  usual. 
  In 
  searching 
  for 
  the 
  cause 
  of 
  this 
  excessive 
  and 
  pecuHar 
  

   growth 
  it 
  w^as 
  found 
  that 
  these 
  tall 
  specimens 
  generally 
  grew 
  in
