PLANTS OF SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY. 749 



from Mercer, Bergen and Hudson Counties. I have examined 

 Parker's specimen and confirmed his identification, but the other 

 records given by Britton I have been unable to verify. 

 Pi. — Early September to early October. 



Middle District. — Brown's Mills (P), Gloucester County. 

 Pine Barrens? — Landisville. 

 Coast Strip. — Manahawkin. 

 Cape May. — North Cape May. 



Solidago neglecta T. & Gr. Swamp Goldenrod. 



Solidago neglecta Torrey and Gray, FI. N. A. II. 213. 1841 [Mass. and N. Y. 

 to N. C. and Ind.]. — Britton 133. — Keller and Brown 324. 



Frequent in bogs and swamps of the PSne Barren and Cape 

 May districts, more especially near the coast and occasional in 

 the Middle district; reported from a few stations in Middlesex, 

 Bergen and Morris Counties north of our limits. 



This is the most comimon Goldenrod in swamps and bogs of 

 the Pine Barrens and is subject to considerable variation. On 

 the one hand it seems to pass by almost imiperceptible gradations 

 into the slender few rayed form that has been identified as S. 

 uniligtdata, while on the other it shows a tendency to 5". speciosa. 

 All records of the latter from our region prove tO' be 5*. neglecta, 

 where specimens are extant, but it is possible that S. speciosa 

 does grow in some of the bogs of the Middle district. 



Indeed Nuttall's original specimens of S. speciosa came from 

 "sandy woods, banks of the Schuylkill, also in New Jersey, but 

 rare," and Barton gives "S. petiolaris (=±speciosa N'utt) one 

 mile east of Woodbury, seven feet high." 



At Lindenwold I have collected specimens with spike-like 

 racemes not at all one-sided, but side by side with them was 

 typical secund S. neglecta, absolutely identical in all other re- 

 spects. In the same neigtiborhood, too, I collected a hybrid Soli- 

 dago, in which the S. neglecta strain is apparently present.
