specimens (numbers with D. prefixt are specimen-numbers). 



Number Locality Description 



D. 41 Taughannock, Very small; like D. diphylla 

 near falls (top only collected), except 



leaves distant almost 4 cm . 



D. 47 Do.; N., woods Leaves 2, but leaflets rather 



narrow and deeply serrate , aide 

 ones moderately g - lobed ; 

 rhizome not collected.

D. 61 Same loc* Rhizome and leaf -form apparently 



typical; leaves 3 , very distant

D. 67. Opposite Beech- Patch; like diphylla, vigorous, 

 woods, at foot few radical leaves, but flowers 

 of slope large and slightly purplish ; 



rhizome very large. 



D. 79. Shurger's Glen About typical, but flowers 



slightly purplish. 



The "typical" specimens sometimes have the leaves distant 



about 2-3 cm. (e. g., D. 103); leaves about opposite 



may occur in the same patch, however (compare D. 62 b
