BOTANICAL REPORT.

To EZEKIEL HOLMES, M. D.,

Naturalist to the Scientific Survey:

SIR:-I have the honor to present herewith a brief catalogue of those plants, detected by me during this summer, which have not as yet been credited to Maine in editions of our Standard New England Botany-Gray's Manual. In the catalogue, I have also noticed those, which, considered rare in the Manual, have been found growing common in Maine. And, at your suggestion, I have made notes of plants detected infrequently to which Dr. Gray has given an extensive range.

It gives me much pleasure to add the names of some plants recently discovered by acute botanists in Maine, and which they have been so kind as to communicate to me. The list is also enlarged by some plants noticed lately by botanists of other States, and of which specimens have been placed at my disposal.

Let me add, sir, that several plants were noticed and collected by me this summer, which I have little doubt will prove to be new species; but sufficient time has not yet elapsed to obtain the scientific sanction of our eminent American botanists in regard to their specific characteristics or previous nomenclature. Therefore they are omitted in this report, as I prefer to wait until I receive communications concerning specimens forwarded to them.

In several instances I have been able to define the range of some species whose limit in our State was very imperfectly known.

Anemone parviflora, Mx.-Occurs plentifully on the rocky banks of the St. John.

Anemone Pennsylvanica, L.-Common in Eastern Aroostook Co. on the banks of rivers and brooks.

Sagina nodosa, Fenzl.-At Wells, Mr. Blake; Cape Elizabeth, Mr.
Sprague. Prof. Tuckerman noticed at this last locality a Sagina
with a glandular, viscid stem, which he considers a well marked
variety of S. nodosa. Also found by me on the main St. John.
