  Ranunculus 
  hispidus 
  Mx. 
  

  

  North 
  Greenbush. 
  May. 
  This 
  is 
  included, 
  in 
  the 
  New 
  York 
  

   State 
  Flora, 
  with 
  Ranunculus 
  repens 
  as 
  variety 
  Marilandicus 
  r 
  

   but 
  it 
  is 
  now 
  regarded 
  by 
  good 
  botanists 
  as 
  a 
  distinct 
  species. 
  It 
  

   is 
  one 
  of 
  our 
  earliest 
  flowering 
  buttercups. 
  

  

  Aster 
  leiophyllus 
  Porter. 
  

   Lake 
  Mohonk 
  and 
  Shokan, 
  Ulster 
  county. 
  Sept. 
  This 
  beau- 
  

   tiful 
  aster 
  was 
  at 
  first 
  described 
  by 
  Professor 
  Porter 
  under 
  the 
  

   name 
  Aster 
  cordifolius 
  var. 
  Icevigatus, 
  but 
  having 
  concluded 
  that 
  

   it 
  is 
  a 
  distinct 
  species, 
  he 
  has 
  published 
  it 
  as 
  such 
  under 
  the 
  name 
  

   here 
  given. 
  It 
  certainly 
  appears 
  to 
  me 
  to 
  be 
  a 
  good 
  species 
  

   easily 
  distinguished 
  from 
  A. 
  cordifolius 
  both 
  by 
  the 
  character 
  of 
  

   its 
  leaves 
  and 
  of 
  its 
  flowers. 
  

  

  Senecio 
  Robbinsii 
  Oakes. 
  

   Rocky 
  banks 
  of 
  Black 
  river 
  below 
  Brownsville. 
  June. 
  This 
  

   plant 
  is 
  Senecio 
  aureus 
  var. 
  Balsamitm 
  of 
  the 
  Manual, 
  but 
  it 
  has 
  

   recently 
  been 
  raised 
  to 
  specific 
  rank, 
  a 
  position 
  which, 
  in 
  my 
  

   opinion, 
  it 
  justly 
  merits. 
  According 
  to 
  Dr. 
  Rusby's 
  description, 
  

   the 
  typical 
  form 
  of 
  the 
  species 
  is 
  two 
  to 
  three 
  feet 
  high, 
  glabrous, 
  

   with 
  the 
  root 
  leaves 
  sharply 
  and 
  unequally 
  serrate. 
  In 
  our 
  speci- 
  

   mens 
  the 
  root 
  leaves 
  are 
  crenately 
  serrate, 
  the 
  plants 
  are 
  one 
  to 
  

   two 
  feet 
  high 
  and 
  show 
  a 
  cotton-like 
  tomentum 
  at 
  the 
  insertion 
  

   of 
  the 
  leaves 
  and 
  also, 
  under 
  a 
  lens, 
  a 
  minute 
  loose 
  tomentum 
  on 
  

   the 
  leaves 
  and 
  stems 
  and 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  involucres. 
  The 
  

   peduncles 
  originate 
  at 
  nearly 
  the 
  same 
  point 
  at 
  the 
  top 
  of 
  the 
  

   stem, 
  giving 
  to 
  the 
  corymb 
  an 
  umbellate 
  appearance. 
  In 
  conse- 
  

   quence 
  of 
  these 
  variations 
  from 
  the 
  type 
  I 
  would 
  designate 
  our
