of the plants were found in flower.  The Bladder-nut was
met with a number of times apparently at its best; as were
also the Dogwood, Azalea, Zizia, Cardamine rhomboides,
Sweet Vernal Grass.  At one place several plants of the purple
variety of Zizia cordata were found; Gray does not mention
this fact at all, Wood, however, does, calling it the variety
atropurpurea; this coloration, however, is probably entirely due
to the difference of soil.  Sweet Cicily is coming into bloom,
as is also the Aralia nudicaulis.  Our best find of the
day, however, was a new station for Dicentra; we carefully
marked the place finding it to be between telegraph poles No.
91 and 92 opposite a high bare stoney bluff.  Immediately
before coming to this place we cross a brook, its water 
running across the road, I found it to be the second brook
of like nature from O.G.  Here I found (Panax) Aralia trifolia.
Polemonium reftans also grows close at hand. We now
proceeded to O.G. here we again came up with the R's,
they having gotten in advance of us immediately after leaving
Ilchester.  We now moved towards our old ravine; Mrs. R.

towards the country home for Cypripediums. Before
