SPECIES NOT BEFORE REPORTED 



C 



Thalictrum occidentale Gray 



Shore of Lake Champlain near Port Henry. The leaves of 



this plant bear some resemblance to those of Thalictrum 



d i o i c u m, but in stature and time of flowering it suggests T. 



purpurascens to which it was doubtfully referred in a 



former report. 



Conringia orientalis (L.) Dumort. 



Along the N. Y. C. railroad near Utica. J. V. Haberer. This 

 is an introduced plant having a tendency in some places to 

 become a troublesome weed. 



Sophia sophia (L.) Britton 



Thin soil in rocky places. About the ruins of the old fort on 

 Crown Point. May. This is Sisymbrium sophia L. 



G-eum vernum T. & G. 



Mohawk flats. Deerfield, Oneida co. Abundant in a meadow 

 near a little lake on the north side of Mohawk river about a 

 mile below Utica. It may have been introduced from the west. 

 It is distinguished from closely related species by its stalked 

 receptacle. June. J. V. Haberer. 



Crataegus champlainensis Sarg. 



Crown Point and near North Albany. May and June. The 

 species of Crataegus have recently been made the subject of 

 special investigation by some of the botanists in this country. 

 The result has been the recognition of many species previously 

 overlooked or confused with other known forms. Good specific 

 characters have been found in parts of the plant formerly dis- 

 regarded or considered unreliable in the identification of species. 



Crataegus pringlei Sarg. 



Crown Point and near North Albany. May and June. This 

 species may be recognized by the peculiar habit of its foliage.
