1. G. crinita Froel. Fringed Gentian. 



Open springy and marly meadows and slopes; rare. Sept. 1-Oct. 15. 



"Ithaca" (herb, of /. /. Thomas, D.) ; Cascadilla Creek (D. S. Jordan, D.) ; 

 in marl spring, n. side of Cascadilla Glen between Central and Stewart Aves.,

 (D.) ; Fall Creek, marl spring w. of Dryden-Ithaca town line; Sherwood (Miss 

 Howland & Mrs. Brun, D.) ; sandy roadside three miles n. of Geneva; Lowery Ponds 

 CD.!). The species fluctuates much in abundance, and may be absent in some 

 seasons. At the Fall Creek station it grows in company with the rare Pedicularis 

 lanceolata, as it is said to do in N. J. (Stone). 



Cent. Me. to N. Dak., southw. to Ga., Ohio, and Iowa; infrequent on the Coastal 

 Plain. 



2. G. quinquefolia L. 



Springy or dry gravelly banks, in somewhat acid, apparently also in slightly 

 calcareous, soils; generally scarce though locally abundant. Sept. 1-Oct. 15. 



Abundant in dry open scrubland near Dart Woods, Ball Hill (Danby), Thatcher 

 Pinnacles, and elsewhere on the higher hills (D. !) ; abundant e. side of upper 

 reservoir, Buttermilk Glen ; upper Coy Glen ; above Potter Falls ; Cascadilla Glen, 

 s. of Eddy Pond (D. !) ; Fall Creek (D.) ; Taughannock Gorge, s. side (D.) ; below 

 Sheldrake (D.) ; Big Gully (D.) ; and elsewhere. 



S. Me. to Ont. and Mich., southw. to Fla. and Mo. ; rare or absent on the Coastal 

 Plain. 



3. G. Andrewsii Griseb. Closed Gentian. 



Moist sandy or gravelly thickets and banks on the Ontario plain ; rare. Aug. 25- 

 Sept. 



Utt Point and on the lake shore southw.; roadside n. w. of Marengo (K. M. W ., 

 A. J. E., & L. F. Randolph). 



Occasional in Que. and Mass., and from N. Y. to the Selkirk Mts., southw to Md., 

 Mo., and Nebr. 



4. G. clausa Raf. (See Rhodora 19:147. 1917. G. Andrewsii of Cayuga Fl.) 



Closed Gentian. 



Moist gravelly banks and damp thickets, in nearly neutral soils; scarce. Aug. 25- 

 Oct. 10. 



E. side of Spencer Lake ; swamp, West Danby ; Fir Tree Swamp, Danby ; Bald 

 Hill, Caroline; South Hill, beyond the " Incline," 1874 (D.) ; Fleming Meadow (D.) ; 

 Dryden Lake valley (D.) ; Malloryville Bog; Myers Point, n. of Salmon Creek (D.). 



Cent. Me. to n. and w. N. Y., southw. mainly in the mts. to N. C. 



[G. Saponaria L. 



Dudley reports this species from Pony Hollow, but a specimen of his in the C. U. 

 Herbarium from this station and labeled G. Saponaria is G. clausa. Furthermore, 

 Pony Hollow is outside the Cayuga Lake Basin. Dudley cites also a specimen from 

 ''Ledyard' (Herb. J. J. Thomas.)". It is very doubtful that the latter was G. 

 Saponaria, since the gentian known at two stations along the Ledyard shore is 

 G. Andrewsii. G. Saponaria is a southern species, chiefly of the Coastal Plain, reach- 

 ing this region very rarely.] 



5. G. linearis Froel. 



Bogs and springy places. 



A specimen in Herb. T. J. Thomas from Junius (D.) ; not seen since. 



N. B. to Minn., southw. in the interior to N. Y. and Md.
