Pyrola uliginosa T. 6° G. 
In the Manual this plant is considered as a mere variety of P. 
rotundifolia. But having seen living specimens in the Mud lake local¬ 
ity in the southern part of Herkimer county, where it was discovered 
by Mr. Paine many years ago, I am disposed to consider it a distinct 
species and would restore it to the place assigned it by Dr. Torrey in 
the New York Flora. Its habitat is peculiar and its flowers are 
beautiful. 
Pyrola secunda pumila Gr. 
. The peaty bog at the east end of Mud lake is still a station for this 
very small or dwarfish pyrola. It was found here by Mr. Paine more 
than thirty years ago. The same variety occurs in the Adirondack 
mountains, where it passes into the typical form. 
Ilex monticola Gr. 
Lake Mohonk, Ulster county. Few localities in the Sta-te are 
richer in botanical novelties and rare species of plants than this. It 
seems to be common ground where mountain loving species from 
the north and from the south meet and intermingle. 
Symphytum officinale L. 
Roadsides. Pike, Wyoming county. June. The purplish-flow¬ 
ered form. 
Myosotis palustris With. 
This introduced plant is abundant along Ilion creek between Ilion 
and Cedarville. 
Phlox subulata L. 
This early flowering, highly ornamental and sometimes cultivated 
plant was formerly abundant on the west bank of the Genesee river 
three and a half miles from its mouth. It is still found on the east 
bank. It occurs also at Caledonia, Livingston county. Fuller. 
Gerardia flava L. 
A singular form of this plant was collected near Port Jefferson. It 
has three leaves at each node of the stem.
