  Solidago 
  uliginosa 
  Niut. 
  

   This 
  pretty 
  goldenrod 
  is 
  common 
  in 
  the 
  Adirondack 
  region. 
  

   It 
  usually 
  inhabits 
  bogs, 
  marshes 
  or 
  wet 
  places, 
  but 
  sometimes 
  it 
  

   is 
  found 
  growing 
  in 
  dry 
  soil. 
  It 
  grows 
  in 
  such 
  soil 
  on 
  ""The 
  

   Plains 
  " 
  and 
  on 
  the 
  banks 
  of 
  the 
  upper 
  Oswegatchie 
  river. 
  

  

  Soliclago 
  juncea 
  Ait. 
  

   Though 
  described 
  in 
  the 
  Manual 
  as 
  "smooth 
  throughout," 
  a 
  

   form 
  occurs 
  on 
  the 
  Helderberg 
  mountains 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  stem 
  and 
  

   branches 
  are 
  distinctly, 
  though 
  somewhat 
  sparsely, 
  hairy. 
  This 
  

   is 
  the 
  earliest 
  in 
  flower 
  of 
  the 
  goldenrods 
  about 
  Albany. 
  

  

  Solidago 
  Canadensis 
  L. 
  

  

  A 
  form 
  is 
  common 
  on 
  " 
  The 
  Plains 
  " 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  stem 
  is 
  but 
  

   slightly 
  hairy 
  and 
  the 
  leaves 
  are 
  nearly 
  smooth. 
  They 
  are 
  either 
  

   sharply 
  serrate 
  or 
  almost 
  eatire. 
  This 
  form 
  makes 
  a 
  close 
  

   approach 
  to 
  5. 
  serotiria. 
  

  

  Aster 
  nemoralis 
  Ait. 
  

  

  Several 
  years 
  ago 
  a 
  single 
  specimen 
  of 
  this 
  neat 
  little 
  aster 
  was 
  

   brought 
  me 
  by 
  Judge 
  Addison 
  Brown, 
  of 
  Xew 
  York, 
  who 
  col- 
  

   lected 
  it 
  near 
  Hatchings 
  Pond. 
  Recently, 
  fine 
  'specimens 
  were 
  

   collected 
  by 
  myself 
  on 
  the 
  marshy 
  borders 
  of 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  " 
  Five 
  

   Ponds" 
  m 
  the 
  northern 
  part 
  of 
  Herkimer 
  county. 
  The 
  heads 
  of 
  

   flowers 
  are 
  large 
  for 
  the 
  size 
  of 
  the 
  plant 
  and 
  vary 
  in 
  number 
  from 
  

   one 
  to 
  seven 
  in 
  the 
  specimens 
  colle 
  ted. 
  There 
  was 
  also 
  found 
  on 
  the 
  

   rocky 
  shore 
  of 
  this 
  pond, 
  near 
  its 
  outlet, 
  a 
  patch 
  of 
  a 
  much 
  larger 
  

   form 
  of 
  this 
  aster, 
  for 
  which 
  I 
  propose 
  the 
  name 
  variety 
  major. 
  

   Stem 
  one 
  and 
  a 
  half 
  to 
  two 
  feet 
  high; 
  heads 
  of 
  flowers, 
  ten 
  to 
  

   thirty 
  ; 
  leaves 
  larger, 
  two 
  and 
  a 
  hair 
  to 
  three 
  inches 
  long, 
  five 
  to 
  

   s 
  wen 
  lines 
  broad, 
  distantly 
  dentate-serrate. 
  

  

  This 
  variety 
  grows 
  in 
  patches, 
  bat 
  the 
  typical 
  form, 
  so 
  far 
  as 
  I 
  

   have 
  observed 
  it, 
  is 
  scattered. 
  In 
  both 
  forms 
  the 
  lower 
  surface 
  

   of 
  the 
  leaves 
  is 
  minutely 
  resinous 
  or 
  glandular-puberulent, 
  

   although 
  this 
  character 
  is 
  not 
  noticed 
  in 
  the 
  description 
  of 
  the 
  

   Manual. 
  The 
  plants 
  in 
  press 
  stick 
  slightly 
  to 
  the 
  drying 
  papers 
  

   because 
  of 
  this 
  character. 
  This 
  aster 
  occurs 
  also 
  in 
  a 
  marsh 
  near 
  

   Jayville. 
  It 
  appears 
  thus 
  far 
  to 
  be 
  limited 
  in 
  its 
  range 
  to 
  the 
  

   northwestern 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  Adirondack 
  region.
