Josselyn Botanical Society of Maine. 

 Fifteenth Annual Meeting. 



The fifteenth annual meeting of the Society was held at 

 the Peak's Island House, Peak's Island, Maine, from June 

 29th until July 2nd, with a total attendance of twenty-two, 

 several of the members stopping in Portland. Many arrived 

 Monday, June 28th, but owing to the lateness of the hour 

 when all had assembled, no business session was held until 

 Tuesday afternoon. 



On Tuesday morning a walk was taken around the shore 

 at the southerly end of Peak's Island, the following being 

 the more noteworthy plants secured: Hyoscyamus niger L., 

 Aster cordifolius L,., var. Furbishiae Fernald, Ruppia mari- 

 tima Arethusa bulbosa L,., Eriophorum viridi-ca rina turn 

 (Engelm.) Fernald, var. Fellowsii Fernald (type station), 

 Veronica agrestis L,., Carex conoidea Schkuhr, and C. mari- 

 cata L. The Henbane was especially interesting to most of 

 the members, this being the second known station in the 

 state. 



On Tuesday afternoon the first business session was held, 

 with the President, Mr. Ora W. Knight, in the chair and 

 eleven persons present. The minutes of the last meeting 

 were read and approved. The Committee of Arrangements 

 reported upon the excursions planned for the week. The 

 reports of the Committee on Bryophytes and of the Committee 

 on Publication were read and approved. It was voted that 

 the Secretary be instructed to keep on file copies of any publi- 

 cations received, and to send copies of the Josselyn Bulletin 

 to such societies as may desire to exchange. 



In consideration of the work of the Portland Herbarium 

 Club, which has in preparation a list of the plants growing 

 within ten miles of the city, it was voted that no plant list be 

 issued in the Bulletin this year.
