The Flora of the Cayuga Lake Basin 419 



6. B. frondosa L. Beggar's Ticks. 



Low grounds and low waste places, with no apparent lime preference; very com- 

 mon. Aug.-Oct. 



Newf. to B. C, southw. to Fla., La., Tex., and Colo., including the Atlantic Coastal 

 Plain. 



6a. B. frondosa L., var. pallida Wiegand. (See Rhodora 26:5. 1924. B. melano- 

 carpa, var. pallida Wiegand, Bui. Torr. Bot". Club 26: 406, 1899.) 



In situations similar to the preceding, and flowering at the same time. - 



Occasional or often abundant along the shores of Cayuga Lake. 



N. S. to N. Y. and 111. 



Bl frondosa as it usually occurs in the Cayuga Lake Basin has hairy leaves, but 

 smooth individuals are frequently found, especially along the lake shore. The leaves 

 of var. pallida are apparently always smooth. As to characters, var. pallida might 

 well be a hybrid of B. frondosa and B. comosa, but the restricted range of the variety 

 near the lake shore does not support this assumption. This variety is of doubtful 

 standing, and should be studied further. 



7. B. vulgata Greene. (B. frondosa, in part, of Cayuga Fl.) Beggar's Ticks. 

 Damp roadsides and waste places, in richer and heavier soils than those in which 



the preceding species is found ; common. Aug. 15-Sept. 



Que. to B. C, southw. to N. Y., N. C, Mo., Colo., and Calif. ; infrequent or rare 

 on the Atlantic Coastal Plain. 



8. B. comosa (Gray) Wiegand. 



Ditches by roadsides, and in exsiccated places, in gravelly or sandy alluvial, probably 

 calcareous, soils ; frequent. Sept. 



Girls' Playground, Cascadilla Glen ; Fall Creek, above Forest Home and at 

 Beebe Lake; lake shore, Renwick; roadsides, Cayuga Heights and between Esty 

 and Freeville; Dryden Lake; Farley Point; and elsewhere; apparently absent on 

 sandy acid soils. 



Me. to Minn., southw. to N. J., w. Ky., La., and Colo. ; rare or absent on the 

 Coastal Plain. 



9. B. connata Muhl. Beggar's Ticks. 



Low grounds and swamps, showing no apparent lime preference ; occasional. 

 Aug.-Sept. 



Que. to Mich., probably southw. to Ga., Mo., and Nebr., including the Coastal 

 Plain; less common westw. than no. 9a. 



A colony of B. connata along N. Cayuga St., Ithaca, near Renwick, with upwardly 

 barbed awns, has persisted there for twenty years or more. It is probably the 

 basis of Dudley's entry of Coreopsis discoidea from that locality. 



9a. B. connata Muhl., var. petiolata (Nutt.) Farwell. (See Rhodora 10:197. 

 1908.) 

 In situations similar to the preceding; common. Aug.-Sept. 

 Me. to Minn, and Kans. ; less common near the coast. 



20. Galinsoga R. & P. 



1. G. ciliata (Raf.) Blake. (See Rhodora 22:97, 1920, and 24:34, 1922. G. aris- 

 tulata Bickn. G. parviflora Cav., var. hispida, of authors.) 



Rich garden soils and shaded waste places ; becoming common. July-Oct. 



Of recent introduction, but now abundant in truck gardens of Ithaca and in 

 gardens and along streets in the city ; unknown here at the time of publication of 

 Dudley's Cayuga Flora. 



Me. to Wis. and westw., southw. to N. C, Mo., and Mex, Naturalized from 

 tropical Am.
