My d«ar Mr, Bean©: 



Replying to your letter of thsfi 6th inst. , I would say that the 

 northern ranges of Th asyl um trifoliatmi and of T. trifoliatum aureum as 

 given in "Illustrated Flora" were taken wholly from previously published 

 records. I have seen no specimens from further north than New Jersey. 

 Rose's remark is somewhat tiresome; in his REvision of North American 

 Umbelliferae, 1888, he says, under auruem "Throughout the Atlantic States 

 and under atropurpureum " Same range as the species"; this, I find was 



directly © pled from Gaay's Manual, 6th Edition, p. 204 



I remeber thinking that the ranges cited by Rose and Gray were 



probably too broad, and hunted for northern records; I found the Bennett 



Catalogue record for atro purpureum (trifoliatum) , and, th« plant being 

 so different from any other eastern Umbellifer, I accepted it as part of 

 the information on which Gray's range was based. T. aureum is said to 

 be "common" in Connecticut by Bishop in his Catalogue of 1896 



Yours truly,
