Mitchell. Through the kindness of Professor Goldsmith this locality 
was visited June, 1879. The place where this specimen grows has 
been ploughed or overturned certainly within twenty years. Plants 
from the Tewksbury locality have been successfully cultivated in 
Andover for some years, doing well in ordinary gardens. It is 
hard to imagine this a truly native plant from the Essex county 
stations, but the species is found at ‘‘ Cape Elizabeth, Maine, and 
less rare in Nova Scotia, Cape Breton and Newfoundland” (Gray FI. 
| Pay. 
Kalmia latifolia, Z. (Mountain LAUREL.) 
Most of the towns in the county. More abundant on Cape Ann 
and in the Merrimac valley. A plant having double flowers was 
found, at Gloucester, by Mr. G. D. Phippen. In clearings, the ex- 
posed plants have very pink flowers. 
Kalmia angustifolia, Z. (LAMBKILL.) 
Fields and pasture lands. Common. 
Kalmia glauca, Ait. (PaLe LAUREL.) 
Gloucester (Dr. Chas. Pickering); Cedar pond, Wenham (S. P. 
Fowler, Proc. E. I., Vol. I). Not since found, and not represented 
by county specimens in the P. A. S. herbarium. The Cedar pond 
station is one that this plant would usually select. 
Rhododendron viscosum, Torrey. Azalea viscosa, L. (Gray’s 
Manual.) (Swamp HONEYSUCKLE.) 
Wet places. Common. 
Var. glauca. 
‘Ipswich (Oakes); borders of Wenham pond. Frequent. 
Rhododendron nudiflorum, Torr., Azalea nudifiora, Z. (Gray’s 
Manual.) (PURPLE AZALEA.) 
‘‘Banks of the Merrimac; West Parish, Andover” (Mrs. S. M. 
Downs). As this species is abundant in New Hampshire, it ought 
to be quite frequently met with north of the Merrimac. 
Rhododendron Rhodora, Don. Rhodora Canadensis, Z. (Gray’s 
Manual). (RHODORA.) 
Salem Great Pastures, locality thought now to be exhausted (David 
Waters); Ipswich (Oakes); Salisbury (J. G. Whittier, Proc. E. I., 
Vol. III); Peabody, Haverhill, Andover, Boxford (some plants five 
and six feet high). ‘‘ One place in Lynn” (Tracy), etc. Frequent. 
Ledum latifolium, Ait. (Laprapor TEA.) 
** Essex County, 1824” (memo. Dr. Chas. Pickering). Not in the 
P. A. S. collection from the county. 
Pyrola rotundifolia, LZ. 
Rather deep woods. Common.
