Bidens melanocarpa Wiegd. 



Shore of Kinderhook lake, Columbia co. September. This species 

 resembles B. frondosa L., from which it is separated by its 

 smaller heads, orange colored flowers, fewer involucral bracts and 

 more narrow achenes. 



Bidens comosa {Gray) Wiegd. 



With the preceding along the shore of Kinderhook lake, but more 

 abundant. It was formerly thought to be a variety of B . con- 

 n at a Muhl. A dwarf form occurs which is only a few ; nches high. 

 Its leaves are small and blunt. 



Vaccinium nigrum ( Wood) Britton 



Poor soil in sandy and also in rocky places. Caroga, Fulton co. 

 and Conklingville, Saratoga co. The species is separated from 

 V. pennsylvanicum Lam., of which it was formerly considered 

 a variety, by its black fruit, which sometimes grows very large. 



Azalea canescens Mx. 



Swamps and their borders. Apalachin, Tioga co. and Machias, 

 Cattaraugus co. F. E. Fenno. 



Lysimachia producta (Gray) Fernald 



Low wet ground. Glens Falls and Watertown. C. L. Williams. 

 Narrowsburg, Sullivan co. July. This was reported as a variety of 

 L . s t r i c t a, but specific distinction has recently been given it. 



Lysimachia polyantha Fernald 



Low wet ground near Narrowsburg, where it was found growing 

 with the preceding species. Also near Elizabethtown, Essex co. 

 These species and L.terrestris (L.) B. S. P. sometimes grow 

 together in such a way as to lead to the conclusion that all are forms 

 of one species. 



Scrophularia leporella Bicknell 



River banks. Apalachin and Machias. It is the common species 

 in these localities. F. E. Fenno. S. m a r y 1 a n d i c a L. occurs near 

 Rosendale
