spike-like appearance to the racemes. The plants are small, those 
of the Lansingburg station scarcely exceeding a foot in hight, yet

In a meadow near Vaughns. Burnham. This is an introduced

Sanicula gregaria Bicknell. 
Near Albany. June. This species has recently been separated 
from N. Marylandica, with which it has been confused. The fertile 
flowers have long styles as in that species, but it is more gregarious

radical leaves have only five leaflets each, the basal leaflets not being 
deeply cleft as in both N. Marylandica and S. Canadensis.

tivation and becomes sparingly spontaneous.
