very wet places V. cuculata only was found. Whether these two violets
are really forms of one plant remains to be seen.  The flower stalks
of both have the tiny bracts.  Well-developed <s>forms</s> specimens of these two
plants are very different in appearance.  In villosa the peduncles
and petioles and even the leaf-blades are densely villous; the leaves
are smaller, darker green, generally slightly purplish on the under side
and somewhate different in shape.  Chrysosplenium Americanum is
still in bloom; no fruit was observed as yet.  On the hillside facing
the river I saw an Amelanchier which looked as if it will bear
fruit.  The Sycamore - Platanus occidentalis, Morus rubra and Broussonetia
papyrifera were found in bloom. Pistillate flowers of both
[Mullensis] were found.  The Norway Maples are now setting fruit.
The petioles of this maple exude a milky juice when broken
from the stem.  The samaras of A. dasycarpum are now nearly
ripe.  Several pretty patches of Uvularia perfoliata were seen.
One patch was particularly large. It was along the side of an
old abandoned road.
