PI^ANiTS OF SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY. 345 



Rich woods of the niorth.em counties occasional, and rare in 

 the Middle district. 



The two basal leaves appear in mid-April and last until early 

 June, perishing before the flowers appear. 



Pi. — Late June to early July. Fruits. — Abundantly. 



Middle District. — Swedesboro, Woodstown (H), Salem (C). 



Allium canadense L. Meadow Garlic. 



Allium canadense Linnseus, Sp. PI. 1195. 1753 [Canada]. — Britton 241. — 

 Keller and Brown loi. 



Frequent in low ground of the northern counties and occa- 

 sional southward in the Middle and Cape May districts. 



This native garlic is much less abundant than the introduced 

 A. vineale, and never produces so many flowers. Both have the 

 flowers often replaced toi a great extent by bulblets, and in 

 the present species this is the usual condition ; some few flowers, 

 however, are usually present, but they rarely produce fruit. I 

 have never seen a head composed entirely of flowers, as is often 

 the case in A. vineale. 



Fl. — Late May to mid- June. 



Middle DwfnV^— Farmingdale, Delair, Camden (P), Westville (KB), 

 Medford (S), Mickleton (H), Swedesboro. 

 Cape May.—ColA Spring (edge of salt marsh) (S). 



LILIUM L. 

 Lilium philadelphicum L. Red Lily. 



Lilium philadelphicum Linnaeus, Sp. PI. Ed. 11:435- 1762 [Linnseus gives 

 Canada as type locality, but this is obviously a lapsus calami, as his only 

 reference is to Miller whose specimen came from John Bartram, Phila- 

 delphia].— Knieskern 32.— Willis 65.— Britton 242.— Keller and Brown loi. 



Frequent in open ground in the northern counties, but very 

 rare in the Middle district. Two of the four records refer to 

 single plants. Knieskem's statement for Monmouth and Ocean 

 Counties, "open copses not rare" is surely a misprint. 



Fl. — Late June to late July. 



Middle District.— Ktyport (C), Mickleton (H), Swedesboro. 

 Pine Barrensf.— Mays Landing (C) once.
