A. polygoxoides Raf. (Anychia dichotoma, ^lichx.). 



This species first appeared in this locality in 1895, at the 

 bottom of a newly excavated railroad cut. Had the seeds 

 been buried and dormant? (Nuttall, 1837). Morris says: 

 "I should say. no. This species was common with and near- 

 ly as abundant as the next throughout the above mentioned 

 counties. It is probable that the newly excavated cut proved, 

 perhaps unusually suitable for the germination of scatter- 

 ing seeds."
