McGuire; communicated by Mr. J. B. Fuller. The yellow cress is an 
introduced and sparingly naturalized plant. Specimens were col¬ 
lected several years ago near Flushing, Long Island. 
Lepidium campestre Br. 
The field pepper grass is an introduced species, which is gradually 
spreading through the State, and is attracting some attention as a 
pernicious weed. Mr. Fuller sends specimens with the following 
note: “It is frequent in grain fields in the western part of Monroe 
county, where it is locally known as dong John.’ It is rarely observed 
in the eastern part of the county.”

Arenaria Grcenlandica Spreng. 
Unusually large specimens of this plant were collected near Lake 
Mohonk, Ulster county. They were still flowering early in October. 
Silene antirrhina divaricata Robinson. 
Dry rocky woods. Lansingburg. July. The branches in our 
specimens are widely spreading and the flowers apetalous. 
Tilia pubescens Ait. 
Near Riverhead, Suffolk county. July. Our specimens are from 
the same source as those mentioned in Sargent’s Trees of North 
America, as coming from this locality. The station was discovered 
by Mr. E. S. Miller. 
Tilia heterophylla Vent. 
Camillus and Marcellus Station, Onondaga county. June. This 
indicates a more northern range for the species than has hitherto 
been attributed to it. The flower buds had not yet opened when the 
specimens were collected. 
Floerkea proserpinacoides Willd. 
The false mermaid is rare in the eastern part of our State and in 
the New York Flora it is credited to the western part only. There is, 
however, a station in a low piece of woods near Meadowdale, Albany 
county, in which it grows in considerable abundance.
