406 Karl M. Wiegand and Arthur J. Eames 



11. A. lucidulus (Gray) Wiegand. (See Rhodora 26:4. 1924. A. puniceus, var. 



lucidulus Gray.) 



Marly springy places ; rare. Sept. 



Near Ludlowville, 1885 (collector unknown) ; moor of Lowery Ponds (L. F. 

 Randolph, A. J. E., & K. M. W.). 



N. E. to Wis. and 111. 



This plant is sufficiently distinct from A. puniceus in the characters given in the 

 key to warrant its treatment as a species. In appearance it is quite unlike A. 

 puniceus. Dudley's A. puniceus, var. laevicaulis , may be in part this species. Dud- 

 ley's specimens in the Gray Herbarium from the two stations cited by him for this 

 variety, Ludlowville and Montezuma, are both typical A. puniceus as here inter- 

 preted. However, a specimen in the C. U. Herbarium labeled "Aster puniceus 

 lucidulus Gray near Ludlowville, Oct. 2, 1885," but without the collector's name, is 

 of the present species. It was probably collected by Dudley. 



12. A. prenanthoides Muhl. 



Damp roadsides, banks, and stream gravels, in calcareous regions, rarely in clays ; 

 common. Sept.-Oct. 



Especially abundant in the McLean region ; rare or absent in the more sterile 

 acid sandy soils of the basin. 



W. N. E. to Minn., southw. to Va., Ky., and Iowa ; rare or absent on the Coastal 

 Plain. 



[A. novi-belgii L. 



Doubtfully credited by Dudley to Fleming Meadow; probably an error. This is 

 chiefly a plant of the Atlantic Coastal Plain.] 



13. A. junceus Ait. 



Calcareous bogs and meadows; scarce. July 10-Sept. 15. 



Cayuta Lake (D.) ; Fleming Meadow (D.) ; sedgy moor of Mud Pond, McLean 

 Bogs (£>.!); near Cortland marl ponds (D.) ; Spring Lake; Westbury B'og. 



E. Que. to B. C, southw. to n. N. E., n. Pa., Ohio, Wis., and Nebr. ; rare or 

 absent on the Atlantic Coastal Plain. 



Variable in width of leaf and size of inflorescence. 



14. A. ericoides L. 



Sandy or gravelly fields or roadsides, or rarely in heavy clay ; occasional. Sept.- 

 Oct. 15. 



Spencer Lake; e. of Slaterville; hillside s. of Brookton ; edge of South Hill 

 Marsh ; clay pasture s. side of Coddington Road ; roadside, E. State St., Ithaca ; 

 near upper dam in Six Mile Creek; Cayuga Heights; Cornell Heights; Turkey 

 Hill ; Salmon Creek ; and elsewhere. Rare when Dudley's Cayuga Flora was pub- 

 lished, now apparently becoming frequent. 



Me. to Minn., southw. to Fla. ; frequent or common along the coast. 



[A. vimineus Lam. 



"Low grounds and woods as Case. Cr. Fall Cr. and Freeville ; frequent" (D.). 

 No specimens answering to this species have been seen by the authors. Specimens 

 collected in late years from the localities cited by Dudley for A. vimineus are narrow- 

 leaved A. lateriflorus. Dudley's citations are probably to be thus explained. A. 

 vimineus is chiefly a Coastal Plain species.] 



15. A. lateriflorus (L.) Britton. (A. diffusus, its var. hirsuticaulis, and possibly also 



its var. thyrsoideus, of Cayuga Fl.) 

 Damp scrubby fields and thickets, and in swamps, in neutral or even marly soils ; 

 common. Aug.-Sept.
