Ilex monticola A. Gray . 
This interesting shrub is not rare about Lake Minnewaska. It 
also occurs at Lake Mohonk. It blossoms in June in these localities. 
It has been reported from Cattaraugus county and from the CatskilJ 
mountains. 
Solidago rugosa Mill. 
A peculiar form of this species was found growing near Lake 
Ampersand. The flowering branches are very short, generally less 
than an inch long and shorter than the leaves in whose axils they 
grow. They therefore form an elongated narrow racemose leafy 
panicle. 
Solidago neglecta T. & G 
Rosecrans swamp near Glens Falls. August and September. 
S. H. Burnham. 
Rhodora Canadensis L. 
Shawangunk mountain. Abundant near Lake Minnewaska. 
May. This small shrub is a beautiful sight when in blossom. The 
flowers precede the leaves, and though smaller, they are similar in 
color to and scarcely less showy than those of the pinkster-flower, 
Azalea nudiilora. They assume a purplish hue in drying. A single 
flowering specimen was collected several years ago near Thirteenth 
pond in Warren county and contributed to the herbarium by Mrs 
I. B. Sampson. Aside from this, the localities on the Shawangunk 
mountain are the only places in the state from which specimens 
have come to my notice. 
Plantago major L . 
A small pubescent form is not rare along streams and about the 
margins of lakes in the Adirondack region. The leaf blades are 
1 to 2 inches long and the scapes are 2 to 4 high. The number of 
seeds in each seed vessel is often less than eight. 
Arisaema triphyllum pusillum n. var. 
Plants 3 to 6 inches high; leaves usually solitary, the leaflets 
narrowed and pointed at the base, 12 to 18 lines long, 7 to 9 wide; 
the upper part of the spathe commonly dark purple. ’
