2. A. virginiana L. Tall Anemone. 



Dry rich gravelly or loamy banks, in nearly neutral soils ; frequent. July. 



E. slope of Thatcher Pinnacles ; Slaterville ; roadside, foot of Enfield Glen 

 ledges and hillsides in Coy Glen; Six Mile Creek; Fall Creek, above Forest Home 

 near C. U. campus ; Cayuga Heights ; near Malloryville Bog ; woods n. of Esty Glen 

 Paine Creek; Union Springs; sandy banks and roadsides, Junius ponds; and 

 elsewhere. 



Me. and s. Que. to Minn., southw. to Ga. and Ark. ; less frequent on the Coastal 

 Plain. 



A form with thinner, broader, white sepals (forma leucosepala Fernald, see Rhodora 

 19: 140, 1917, A. virginiana, var. alba, of Cayuga Fl.) is frequent in similar situa- 

 tions, and flowers somewhat earlier, June 20-July 30. This plant may be the basis of 

 the report of A. riparia in the Cayuga Lake Basin. 



3. A. canadensis L. (A. dichotoma of Cayuga Fl.) Anemone. 



Low banks and shores, in rich, more or less calcareous, bottom-land gravels ; 

 locally abundant. June 10-July 20.

 Colo. ; rare on the Coastal Plain. 



4. A. quinquefolia L. {A. nemorosa and var. qidnque folia of Cayuga Fl.) Wood

 Taughannock Gorge ; and elsewhere ; rare in the McLean region and in the heavier 

 soils. 



N. S. to Minn, and the Rocky Mts., southw. to Ga. and Tenn., including the Coastal 

 Plain. 



This species and Anemonclla thalictroidcs are almost the only members of the 

 large group of early spring woods flowers so profusely carpeting the forest floor in 

 central N. Y., which are also found abundantly in similar situations on the Coastal 

 Plain. 



12. Hepatica (Rupp.) Mill. 



a. Involucral bracts, and lobes of the leaves, obtuse. 1. H. amcricana 



a. Involucral bracts, and lobes of the leaves, acute. 2. H. acutiloba

 crests and the lake slopes in the more sterile soils ; scarce in the McLean region.
