Rhodora [April
New Stations for Chamaecyparis on Long Island, New
York.— Professor Fernald of the Gray Herbarium has called my
attention to the fact that in Jelliffe's Flora of Long Island the only
authority given for the occurrence of Chamaecyparis thyoides (L.)
B. S. P., on the island is a report made in 1874 by E. S. Miller and
II. W. Young who listed it as growing in Suffolk Co. In view of this
it seems worth recording that there is a good colony of the tree grow
ing within sight of the Long Island Railroad between the stations of O O O
Merrick and Bellmore, Nassau Co., and another just west of Amity
ville.— John Thea dwell Nichols, American Museum of Natural
History, New York.

John Tiieadwell Nichols,
An Occurrence of Catharinaea cRisrA in Maine — am
pleased to announce the discovery of Catharinaca crispa, James in
Maine, as I understand it has never before been reported from this
state, or so far northeasterly as this. It was fertile, and was found in
Camden, Maine, 44° N. lat. 69° W. long., in a pasture near the bank
of a large brook, on knolls where six years ago a growth of alders had
been cleared away. The altitude is about 200 feet. For its deter
mination I am indebted to Mr. E. B. Chamberlain. Prof. J. Franklin
Collins, in his list of New England plants, Rhodoka 8: 131, gives
only Massachusetts as definitely possessing it.— Alice L. Crockett,
Camden, Maine.
Alice L. Crockett,
Noteworthy Plants of' Salisbury, Connecticut.— The past
season I have been able to add the following rare or unusual plants to
the list of those growing about Salisbury, Connecticut.
Aspidium simulatum Davenp. In a black spruce swamp growing
in sphagnum. Elevation 2000 ft. Quite abundant.
Pellaea gracilis Michx. A third colony of this rare fern on an
exposed boulder in a dense pine wood.
Lycopodium annotinum L. In the same swamp with the Aspidium
simulatum
Potamogeton lucens Connecticutensis Robbins. Seems to be fairly
abundant in one of the Twin Lakes.
Eleocharis olivacea Torr. One colony on the shore of a mountain
lake at an elevation of 2000 ft.
Habenaria orbiculata (Pursh) Torr. In rich woods at Lime Rock.
Not at all common.
