Fishkill mountain ; June 14th. I can refer 

 my specimen to no other species. 



Ranunculus acris, Tall Buttercup. — Rather 

 common ; fields and roadsides ; June. 



Ranunculus sceleratus, Celery -leaved Crow- 

 foot. — Not rare; roadside ditches, and by 

 pools of water ; June 2d. 



Ranunculus recurvatus, Sanicle - leaved 

 Crowfoot. — *(I think I saw this also) rather 

 rare ; Fishkill mountains. 



Ranunculus bulbosus, Buttercup, — Com- 

 mon everywhere during summer. 



Caltha palustris, Marsh Marigold. — Rather 

 rare ; late April or early May ; wet lands.

 It must be rare if found at all.) 



Aquilegia canadensis, Wild Columbine. 

 — Abundant ; rocky ground, high or low ; 

 late April and early May. 



Cimicifuga racemosa, Black Snakeroot. 

 — Rather common in this locality on moun- 

 tain slopes ; rich soil ; June 15-30. 



(Actsea alba or rubra, White or Red Co- 

 hosh, — I am sure I have seen one or the 

 other of these, perhaps both, as they are not 

 easy to distinguish at any time, except by ber- 

 ries, on the mountain side. ) 



Magnolia glauca, White Bay or Mag 

 nolia. — Two flowers were brought to me from 

 a tree in this place, but I do not Know whether 

 the tree was native or cultivated, probably the 

 the latter, for, though Torrey (p. 27, vol. I.)

 make it liable to be found wild in the south- 

 east corner of New York State as well. 



Liriodendron tulipifera. Tulip Tree.— 

 It is a native of this region, but I think
