 Orne's point, Salem, 1824 (Dr. Chas. Pickering) ; Dedham (C. B. 

 raxon) ; Salem Great Pastures, in several places; Swampscott,

 grass-grown clearings in the environs of Salem" (Dr. Chas. 

 Pickering, Chron. Hist. PI. p. 1024). 



TMs is farther explained in a letter, where he says " C. ffideri (de- 

 termined by English Botany), I used to find in the pasture land of 

 my grandfather's farm (Wenham) clearly introduced."

 form here found does not perfectly correspond to the description.
