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.
