PLANTS OF NORTH ELBA 



I0 7 



Gnaphalium uliginosum L. 



Low CUDWEED 

 Low ground and roadsides. Common. August. 



Rudbeckia hirta L. 



Hairy rudbeckia 



Meadows and pastures. Common. July and August. This is some- 

 times called yellow daisy. It is a rival of the white daisy and an 

 unwelcome weed in meadows. 



Achillea Millefolium Z. 



Yarrow. Milfoil 



Waysides and fields. Very common. August. Introduced! A pink 

 flowered variety is sometimes cultivated in flower gardens and occasion- 

 ally escapes and grows in waste places and by roadsides. 



Chrysanthemum Leucanthemum L. 



White daisy. Ox eye daisy 



Abundant. June to August. A pernicious weed in meadows, but 

 one which readily yields to cultivation. Introduced. 



Tanacetum vulgare L. 



Tansy 



Roadsides and waste places about houses. Introduced and sometimes 

 planted. 



Arnica Chamissonis Less. 

 Soft arnica 



Along mountain streams. July and August. Many years ago I 

 collected specimens of this plant about a mile north of Indian pass. It 

 was growing by the side of the stream that flows northward from the 

 pass. I have not since that time seen it growing in North Elba, but 

 retain it in the list because it may possibly yet exist about some of the 

 head waters of that stream or in the unexplored southwestern part of the 

 town. 



Senecio aureus L. 



Golden ragwort. Squawweed 

 Swamps and wet places. Not common. Averyville swamp. July.
