Maianthemum Canadense, Desf. Smilacina bifolia, var. Cana-— 
densis, Ker. (Gray’s Manual). (WILD LILY OF THE VALLEY.)

Prof. Watson in his ‘‘ Revision of the Liliacese ” to Maianthemum. ~— 
Polygonatum biflorum, Hii. (SMALLER SOLOMON’s SEAL.) 
Shady places near walls. 
Polygonatum giganteum, Dietrich. (Great SOLOMON’S SEAL.) 
‘¢ Ship rock,” G: D. Phippen (Proc. E. I., Vol. II, p. 204); ** Haver= 
hill,” Mrs. S. M. Downs. Not represented in the collection of the 
P. A. S., and possibly only large forms of the last. 
Asparagus officinalis, Z. (GARDEN ASPARAGUS.) 
Often found in fields and roadsides where seedlings have obtained 
a foothold. (Adv. from Eu.) 
Lilium Philadelphicum, Z. (WmILD ORANGE-RED LILY.) 
Frequent in open, rather dry, places. 
Lilium Canadense, Z. (WILD YELLow LILY.) 
Meadows; not so abundant as the last. This species is said to suc- 
ceed well under cultivation. 
Lilium superbum, LZ. (Turx’s-cap Lity.) 
‘‘Danvers” (J. H. Sears). The only locality yet reported for the 
county. 
Lilium tigrinum, Z. (TiGcerR LIty.)

from Eu.) 
Erythronium Americanum, Sinith. 
In moist ground under hard wood trees. Very abundant. The 
common name of this plant, Dog’s-tooth Violet, is absurd. Yellow 
Adder’s tongue, as given in Gray’s Manual, is much better.

plant is in Danvers, where it grows quite plentifully in company 
with Ariseema triphyllum and Trillium cernuum. (Adv. from Eu.)
