CLARENDON NOTES 



L. Henry Potter 



Rumex persicarioides, L., which is new to Vermont, was collected 

 by me at our farm in Clarendon, July 8, 1922. The station, which 

 contains several plants, is in a meadow. 



Another addition to the Flora is Polygonum cuspiclatum Sieb and 

 Zucc, which I secured in Chittenden on September, 1921. The speci- 

 mens were some distance from any dwelling. 



Asplenium Ruta-muraria L». and Pellaea atropurpurea (L.) Link 

 var. Bushii were taken on a cliff in the west part of Clarendon in June, 

 1922, and at the base of the same cliff, G. H. Ross of Rutland found a 

 large colony of Polymnia canadensis L. 



Two stations for Botrychium lanceolatum (Gmel) Angstroem var. 

 angustisegmentunn Pease and Moore, were located the same day in 

 the town of Clarendon. One contained over 200 plants. 



Poly gala verticilata L. var. amMgua (Nutt.) Wood, was collected 

 at Tinmouth in 1921.
