Mitchell. Through the kindness of Professor Goldsmith this locality 

 was visited June, 1879. The place where this specimen grows has 

 been ploughed or overturned certainly within twenty years. Plants 

 from the Tewksbury locality have been successfully cultivated in 

 Andover for some years, doing well in ordinary gardens. It is 

 hard to imagine this a truly native plant from the Essex county 

 stations, but the species is found at " Cape Elizabeth, Maine, and 

 less rare in Nova Scotia, Cape Breton and Newfoundland" (Gray Fl. 

 N. A.). 



Kalmia latifolia, L. (Mountain Laurel.) 

 Most of the towns in the county. More abundant on Cape Ann 

 and in the Merrimac valley. A plant having double flowers was 

 found, at Gloucester, by Mr. G. D. Phippen. In clearings, the ex- 

 posed plants have very pink flowers. 



Salmia angustifolia, L. (Lambkill.) 

 Fields and pasture lands. Common. 



Kalmia glauca, Ait. (Pale Laukel.) 

 Gloucester (Dr. Chas. Pickering) ; Cedar pond, Wenham (S. P. 

 Fowler, Proc. E. I., Vol. I). Not since found, and not represented 

 by county specimens in the P. A. S. herbarium. The Cedar pond 

 station is one that this plant would usually select. 



Ehododenclron vlscosmn, Torrey. Azalea viscosa, L. (Gray's 

 Manual.) ( Swajip Honetsuckle.) 

 Wet places. Common. 



Var. glauca. 

 Ipswich (Oakes) ; borders of Wenham pond. Frequent. 



Ehododendron nudiflorum, Torr., Azalea nudiflora, L. (Gray's 

 Manual.) (Puhple Azalea.) 



"Banks of the Merrimac; West Parish, Andover" (Mrs. S. M. 

 Downs). As this species is abundant in New Hampshire, it ought 

 to be quite frequently met with north of the Merrimac. 



Bhododendron Bhodora, Don. Rhodora Canadensis, L. (Gray's 

 Manual). (Rhodora.) 



Salem Great Pastures, locality thought now to be exhausted (David 

 Waters) ; Ipswich (Oakes) ; Salisbury (J. G. Whittier, Proc. E. I., 

 Vol. Ill) ; Peabody, Haverhill, Andover, Boxford (some plants flve 

 and six feet high). " One place in Lynn" (Tracy), etc. Frequent. 



Ledum latifollum. Ait. (Labrador Tea.) 



"Essex County, 1824" (memo. Dr. Chas. Pickering). Not in the 

 P. A. S. collection from the county. 



Pyrola rotundifolla, L. 

 Bather deep woods. Common.
