PLANTS OF SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY. 453 



Very rare and local. Known from several stations north of 

 our limits and from Red Bank, Gloucester County, where it 

 was collected by Charles F. Parker. Mr. Parker's specimens at 

 Princeton and New Brunswick have been examined. 

 Middle District— Red Bank (NB and P). 



Anemone quinquefolia L. Wind Flower, Wood Anemone. 



Anemone quinquefolia Linnasus, Sp. PI. 541. 1753 [Virginia and Canada]. 

 Anemone nemorosa Knieskern 5. — Britten 34. 



Common in woods of the northern counties and not infre- 

 quent in the Middle district and along the Coast strip, though 

 rather local; recurs in the lower part of the Cape May penin- 

 sula. 



One feature in the flora of southern New Jersey which is 

 particularly noticeable to one who is familiar with the country 

 above the fall line is the almost total absence of the familiar 

 spring flowers. When our upland woods are gay with Hepa- 

 ticas, Bloodroqts, Rue Anemones, Wood Anemones, Erythroni— 

 ums and Spring Bieauties, we find only one species — 'the Wood 

 Anemone — at all generally distributed on the coastal plain, 

 and it is not abundant, and practically absent from the Pine Bar- 

 rens. The others rarely enter the region and are everywhere 

 rare, and are mainly restricted to the vicinity of the Delaware 

 River in Burlington County. 



Fl. — Early April to mid-May. Fr. — Early May to mid- June. 



Middle District. — Shark River, Farmingdale, New Egypt, Merchantville, 

 Camden (P), Bordentown, Kinkora, Medford, Edge of Bear Swamp (S), 

 Cliairville, Browns Mills, Mantua, Sewell (S), Gloucester, Glassboro, Mickle- 

 ton, Swedesboro, Yorktown, Quinton, Bridgeton. 



Pine Barrens? — Landisville, Hammonton (Bassett) [both probably from 

 edge of region]. 



Coasi Strip.- — Staffordsville (S), Palermo. 



Cape May.— Cold Spring (OHB). 



HEPATICA Scopoli. 

 Hepatica hepatica (L.). Liverwort. 

 Anemone Hepatica Linnaeus, Sp. PI. 538. 1753 [Europe]. — Britton 34. 



Common in woods of the northern coimties; rare and local 

 southward in the upper Middle district, many of the records 

 being single plants or small colonies. 

 PI. — Late March to late April. Pr. — Early May to early June.
