HEPATIGAE OF THE LAKE GEORGE FLORA 
Stewart H. Burnham 
The Lake George Flora covers the region included in the counties of Washing- 
ton, Warren and Saratoga, New York. Although I collected my first hepatic 
mosses about 1892, no special effort was made to collect them until 1906. It 
was Miss Sarah A. Brown of Unadilla Forks, N. Y., who first interested me in 
the Hepaticae. 
Specimens collected by Dr. Chas. H. Peck and Dr. E. C. Howe are preserved 
in the N. Y. State Herbarium: those by Dr. Smith Ely Jelliffe about Huletts Land- 
ing, Lake George, in 1892, are preserved in his herbarium in New York City. Many 
specimens have been determined by Dr. A. W. Evans; by Miss Annie Lorenz; 
and by Dr. M. A. Howe. Many of the records, herein listed, were made during 
the years 1914-1917. These specimens have been determined by Dr. G. H. 
Conklin and Miss C. C. Haynes, and are preserved in the Hepatic Herbarium 
of the Sullivant Moss Society. Rather ample collections were made in West 
Fort Ann during 1918, but no attempt has been made to work these plants over. 
Ricciella fluitans (L.) A. Br. Fort Ann (C. H. Peck); Cambridge waterworks, 
swamp woods (Frank Dobbin); Five Combine woods, east of Hudson Falls,, 
floating on pools. 
Ricciella Sullivantii (Aust.) Evans. Moist clay upland soil, east of Vaughns. 
Determined by Dr. A. W. Evans. 
Ricciocarpus natans (L.) Corda. Shushan (Dobbin); South Beaver creek, east 
of Vaughns, on quiet pools. 
Reboulia hemisphaerica (L.) Raddi. Thin rocky soil. Vaughns; south of Tripoli; 
northwest Hartford. Determined by Dr. M. A. Howe; also by Dr. G. H. 
Conklin. 
Grimaldia fragrans (Balb.) Corda. Dresden in muck soil (Peck). 
Aslerella tenella (L.) Beauv. Thin rocky soil, northern Washington county; 
Bacon Pond, southern W. Fort Ann, in low grassy ground. Determined 
by Dr. Evans; also by Miss C. C. Haynes. 
Conocephalum conicum (L.) Dum. Damp ground in shaded places, specially 
near streams; abundant. Plants when bruised give off a pleasant aromatic 
fragrance.
