Erigeron bellidifolius, Muhl. (Roprn’s PLANTAIN.) 
Open ground. Not rare. 
Erigeron Philadelphicus, Z. (Common FLEABANE.) 
Essex county (memo. G. D. Phippen) ; Danvers, 1853 (Dr. Osgood’s 
list). No authentic specimens of this species have been seen, and 
it is doubtful as an Essex county plant. 
Erigeron annuus, Pers. (Daisy FLEABANE.) 
Fields and roadsides. Common. ' 
Erigeron strigosus, Muhl. E 
In similar situations to the last. Common. 
Solidago squarrosa, Muhl. 
In aletter to Dr. Chas. Pickering, Feb. 20, 1828, Wm. Oakes, speaking 
of what he had found new while botanizing, says, ‘‘I found a fine 
spot of S. squarrosa in your locality,” which Dr. Pickering said 
must have been Essex Co. The only specimens yet collected are 
from Beverly, 1879 (J. H. Sears). This species is more common in 
the mountain regions of Maine, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania. 
Solidago bicolor, Z. (PALE GOLDEN-ROD.) 
Dry places. Common. 
Solidago latifolia, L. 
Georgetown, Boxford, Amesbury, etc. Not very common. 
Solidago cesia, L. 
Moist woods. Frequent. 
Solidago puberula, Nuit. 
Common near the coast, less so in the interior towns. 
Solidago stricta, Ait. 
Wenham swamp, 1824 (Dr. Chas. Pickering); ‘‘ Bowler swamp and 
Similar localities in Lynn” (Tracy). Not in the P. A. S. county 
herbarium. It is very possible there is some mistake and that this 
species does not grow here, aS no specimens have since been found 
and forms of S. neglecta are sometimes mistaken for it. 
Solidago speciosa, Nutt. 
Ipswich (Oakes); Georgetown (Mrs. Horner); Danvers (Jan 54, 
Sears). Not uncommon. 
Solidago sempervirens, Z. (Srastp—E GOLDEN-ROD.) 
A very handsome species along the ocean shore. Common. 
Solidago elliptica, Ait. 
This species probably comes within our county flora as it has been 
found south of thecounty line. A species found at Point Shirley 
(C. E. Faxon), supposed to be this, now proves to be a hybrid be- 
tween S. sempervirens and some other species. 
Solidago neglecta, Torr & Gray. 
Swamps. Common. A large form grows at Essex with very ex- 
extensive panicles of flowers.
