It has been suggested that Leontopctalon thalictroides, Hill, Syst. Veg. xvi. 

 p. 26, be taken up, but 1 have not been able to satisfy myself that this should be done. 

 The above work gives under the genus Leontopetalon the following species : 1, Le- 

 ontice crysogonum ; 2. Leontice Leonlopetalum ; 3. Leojitopetalon thalictroides; 4. 

 Leontice Leontopelaloides. These are the four species that arc included bv Linnaeus 

 in his genus Leontice. 



Podophyllum pei/tatum, L. Spec. 

 Rich woods ; frequent.

 Ponds; rare.

 pJuea tuberosa, Paine, Cat. PI. Oneida Co. 1865. — Nymfhcea renifor- 

 mts, DC. Syst. ii.(?) 

 Ponds; becoming rare. 



In the immediate vicinity of the College there is no suitable habitat, but it occurs 

 frequently in the prairie ponds of the Big prairie, and elsewhere. 



If Nympluca tuberosa, Paine, and N. rcnijormis are the same, as indicated in 

 Gray's Manual, 6th ed., our plant becomes Castalia reniformis (DC); but there 

 seems to be much doubt as to the identity of DeCandolle's plant.

Rich woods ; abundant. 

 The original spelling of the genus has been retained, since the evidence seems to 

 show that Borckhausen intended the word to be Diclytra. If the error be purely typo, 

 graphical it should be corrected. I have not access to Borckhausen's paper (Romer, 

 Archiv. f. d. Bot. i. 2, p. 46), but Bernhardt quotes from this paper (Linnaea xii. p. 

 65S, 1S3S), "Diclytra nenne ich (Borckhausen) sic (die Gattung) von f J, r , nvei. 

 und K/rrnor, -porn, weil sich die Blume so deutlich durch ihre zwei Sporne 

 auszeichnet." 



Pryf. Trelease suggests that the error may have arisen in a transfer of keiition 

 from the original script into tin' Greek Utters. The c. being made too high, be- 

 came an /. and then the n was read a< u. making Iclutron.
