REPORT OF THE STATE BOTANIST I914 51 



Stomoisia cornuta (Michx.) Rafinesque 



(Utricularia cornuta Michx.) 



Very abundant in the open sunny portions of the sphagnum bog 

 known as "Lily marsh." H. D. House, July 30, 1914, A T o. 5786. 



Potentilla recta Linn. 



Fields and waste places about Oswego. H. D. House, July 29, 

 1914, No. 5785. 



Centaurium centaurium (Linn.) W. F. Wight 



(Erythraea centaurium Per so on) 



Roadsides and embankments about Oswego. H. D. House, July 

 29, 1914, No. 5771. Introduced and naturalized about the port 

 of Oswego many years ago (specimen in the Beck herbarium 

 dated August 10, 1830) and spreading in various directions. It 

 has been observed as far south as Fulton and Syracuse and several 

 miles eastward. Possessing none of the obnoxious features of a 

 weed, it forms an interesting addition to our emigrant flora. For 

 many years Oswego was the only known American station for this 

 species, but it is now known from many places throughout the 

 eastern states. 



Lathyrus myrtifolius Muhlenberg 

 Moist thickets near the shore of Lake Ontario, west of Oswego. 

 H. D. House, July 29, 1914, No. 5783. 



Drosera intermedia Flayne 

 Very abundant in the open, sunny portions of the sphagnum bog 

 known as " Lily marsh." H. D. House, July 30, 1914, No. 5788. 



Rhynchospora macrostachya Torrey 

 Mud lake, Hannibal. Dr Herman Wibbe, September 1877. This 

 specimen occurs in the Sheldon herbarium recently donated to the 

 State Museum, and constitutes an outlying station for a species 

 fairly abundant in the coastal plain region farther south. The only 

 other specimens in the State herbarium from this State were 

 collected at Wading River and Smithtown, Long Island.
