REPORT OF THE STATE BOTANIST IO/I2 35 



Cytospora chrysosperma (Pers.) Fr. 

 Bark of glaucous willow, Salix discolor Muhl. Alder 

 creek, Oneida co. In this form the spore tendrils assume an orange 

 color instead of golden yellow as in the type. 



Flammula spumosa unicolor n. var. 

 Pileus uniformly yellow ; otherwise as in the type. In marshy 

 woods. Karner, Albany co. July. 



Fomitiporia prunicola Murr. 



A form of this species which usually grows on trunks of wild 

 bird cherry or pin cherry, Prunus pennsylvanicaL., was 

 found growing on a trunk of the canoe birch, Betula alba 

 papyrifera (Marsh.) Spach, in the Adirondack mountains. 

 The form growing on canoe birch was not distinguishable in any 

 way from that on cherry. It might be called Fomitiporia 

 prunicola f. betuli cola. 



Habenaria fimbriata (Ait.) R. Br. 



This large and fine purple-fringed orchis is remarkable for the 

 durability of its flowers. A vase of the cut flowers has been known 

 to remain perfectly fresh in appearance, at least ten days, with no 

 other care than an occasional supply of fresh water. This is remark- 

 able since its natural habitat is in wet marshy ground and often 

 in the shade of trees. It is not rare in wooded marshes at North 

 Elba. If a suitable habitat could be furnished it would make a 

 fine addition to the ornamental plants of parks and gardens. 



Ilex monticola Gray 



Woodsworth lake, Fulton county. June. C. P. Alexander. This 

 is an outlying station about seventy-five miles north and west of 

 its nearest previously recorded localities, Taconic, Shawangunk and 

 Catskill mountains, Gray's new Manual mentions Cattaraugus 

 county also as a station for it, but this is apparently a far western 

 outlying station. 



Jeffersonia diphylla (L.) Pers. 

 Moist woods. Pittsford. Fine flowering specimens of this rare 

 plant were collected April 15th and contributed by M. S. Baxter. 

 He also contributed a fine fruiting specimen from High island, 

 Potomac river, Maryland.
