The Flora of the Cayuga Lake Basin 339 



Fcrnald), occurs in a boggy thicket at the McLean Bogs (L. H. MacDanicls & 

 A. J. E.). This appears like a hybrid between L. tcrrcstris and L. quadrifolia, but as 

 the latter species is absent from the vicinity of the McLean Bogs it is more likely an 

 extreme of L. terrestris. 



3. L. NUMMULARIA L. MONEYWORT. YELLOW MYRTLE. 



On damp banks in low woods, along ditches, and in ravines, mostly in rich alluvial 

 soils ; frequent, and becoming more common. June 20-July 20. 



Near Enfield Falls and one mile n. (D.) ; Six Mile Creek; Renwick woods; Beebe 

 Lake ; n. e. of Freeville ; Fall Creek, at several stations ; Lockwood Flats, rather 

 abundant (D.) ; Union Springs; and elsewhere. Not clearly a calciphile, though 

 usually not escaping in strongly siliceous regions. 



Newf. to Mich., southw. to N. J., Va., and 111. Cultivated from Eu. and now 

 naturalized. 



4. L. thyrsiflora L. Tufted Loosestrife.

Miss M. E. Allen (Rhodora 22:193. 1920) has shown that the character te- 

 lating to the staminodia, on which this species is often separated as a distinct genus, 

 breaks down completely.
