EDITORIAL

The editor of the bulletin is delighted to be able to publish in this
edition the portraits of the most distinguished members of the Ver-
mont Botanical club and the Vermont Bird club. These two men are
well known to all of our members and their names are familiar to
men in all parts of the scientific world.

Dr. Ezra Brainerd

Dr. Ezra Brainerd is a native of St. Albans, having been born
December 17, 1844. Since early manhood he has been interested in
Vermont’s botanical problems. He was one of the half dozen botanists
who met at a lumber camp July 4, 1895, near the summit of Stratton
mountain to study the “Torrey Meadows” and to form an association
which finally became the Vermont Botanical club. Dr. Brainerd was
elected the first president of the club, which office he has held con-
tinuously for 25 years. During all this time he has been an active
worker. He has been present at most of the meetings, both summer
and winter, and the success of the club has been largely due to his
leadership. During this time he has supervised the compiling and
printing of two revisions of the Vermont Flora, one in 1900, the other
in 1915. Dr. Brainerd is today the recognized authority on Vermont
flora.

His familiarity with the plants and his keen insight into the char-
acters which seem to be important in classification have pushed him
beyond the usual limits of the systematic botanist and we find him a
pioneer in the analysis of the various forms of plants found in nature.
He has not been satisfied with a study of herbarium material alone
but has frequently cultivated in his garden the forms under considera-
tion. This work has shown that many of our so-called species are
either hybrids or ecological forms. His work on Viola and Rubus are
models of the kind of work which the systematic botanist of the future
should attempt.

Dr. Brainerd has published many articles in the botanical journals
of the country and his work has done much to give our bulletin a
scientific standing.

Dr. George H. Perkins

Prof. George Henry Perkins, a native of Massachusetts, was born
September 25, 1844. He came to Vermont in 1870 and for 50 years he

+ JOINT BULLETIN 6

has been interested in all things found in nature and his appreciation
and deep love of the beauty of the plants and birds have been an in-
spiration to the hundreds who have listened to his lectures in class-
room and lecture hall.

His interest in the fiora of Vermont prompted him to publish in
1882 a general “Catalogue of the Flora of Vermont.” This was re-
vised by him six years later. His list contained ‘1,360 species and
varieties included in 479 genera.” This was an addition of about 360
species to the lists of Oakes, 1842, and Torrey, 1853. This publication
was of the utmost importance to botanical workers.

Professor Perkins showed an equal interest in the birds of Ver-
mont, delivering many lectures, publishing a large number of articles
on birds and finally bringing out a list of the birds of the state.

The compilation of these lists was important pioneer work and
all members of the two clubs are under deep obligation to Dr. Perkins
for this early task.

During the past 22 years Dr. Perkins has been state geologist and
as such has visited all parts of the state, studying its geology, plant
life and its birds.

He maintains the attitude that scientific interest is not a prize to
be sought only by those who can devote their entire life to the quest
but something to be cherished and cultivated in the life and interest
of every individual. Always tolerant of those whose enthusiasms ran
in a totally different direction and had therefore had no opportunity to
cultivate in early life an interest in the out-of-doors, he is yet ready at
all times to offer suggestions, to narrate incidences, to point out the
beauties of adjustment and fitness as exhibited in the structure and
life of flora and birds.

SECRETARY’S REPORT—JOINT MEETING
Nellie F. Flynn

The 23rd annual meeting of the Vermont Botanical club and the
16th annual meeting of the Vermont Bird club were held at the Univer-
sity of Vermont, Friday and Saturday, January 30 and 31, 1920. Dr.
Harry F. Perkins of Burlington was elected chairman for the sessions
of the clubs. The chairman appointed a committee, consisting of three
members, on nominations and a similar committee on place for summer
meeting.

VERMONT BOTANICAL AND BIRD CLUBS 5

The clubs then listened to the following papers: “An Abnormal
Form of Habenaria Psycodes from Berkshire, Vt.,’ Dr. Anne Perkins;
“Migration Record for Wells River, Vt.,’’ Wendell P. Smith; “A Spring
Day in Florida,” Mrs. A. B. Morgan; “Report on Vermont Hepatics for
1919,” Miss Annie Lorenz; ‘‘Note on Humming-bird,’ Emeline Webster.

Friday Afternoon, 2:30 o’clock

“The Summer Meeting of 1919,” Mrs. Nellie F. Flynn; ‘‘The Whorled
Milkweeds,’ W. W. Eggleston; ‘1919 Collections at Woodstock, Vt.”
Miss E. M. Kittredge; “Suggestions for Botanical Field Work,’ Miss
Elizabeth Billings; “Additons to Vermont Flora,” members of the club;
“Botany at the Fairbanks Museum in 1919,” Miss Inez Addie Howe.

The clubs met at Grassmount at 6 P. M. for the annual dinner,
after which Dr. Harry F. Perkins gave an interesting discussion on
“Plans for a Biological Survey of the State.” An interesting discus-
sion followed during which it developed that the members present
thought this work should be organized and directed by the clubs.

Many interesting facts were brought out in the annual roll-call.

Saturday Morning

The committee on nominations reported as follows: President,
Ezra Brainerd, Middlebury; vice-president, G. H. Perkins, Burlington;
secretary-treasurer, Mrs. Nellie F. Flynn, Burlington ; librarian, L. H.
Flint, Burlington; editor, George L. Kirk, Rutland. These were unan-
imously elected.

The committee on place for summer meeting was granted more
time and requested to announce their decision in the bulletin. The
report of the treasurer was accepted.

The clubs then returned to the reading of papers which were as
follows: “The Algae of Vermont,” Lewis H. Flint; “Alpine Flora of
Mount Marcy,” Prof. G. P. Burns; “Notes on Bird Study,’ Dora H.
Walker. Colored lantern slides of plants were given by E. M. Kit-
tredge.

THE 1919 SUMMER MEETING
Nellie F. Flynn

The field meeting of 1919 was held at North Hero, August 4-6,
headquarters being at Irving House, North Hero. There was a good
attendance, 30 persons being present, some all of the three days. The
first day’s explorations were conducted about “The Carry” at North
Hero where the island contracts to the width of the road and at Pelot’s
Bay. There was only one boat available at each place and no oars for
one so the collection of water plants was not what it might have been.
The pondweeds, Potamogeton perfoliatus, P. zosterifolius, P. Richard-
soni, P. heterophyllus, the water milfoils, Myriophyllum spicatum and
M. alternifolium, the arrow head, Sagittaria graminea and the stiff
water crowfoot, Ranunculus circinatus, were collected with the help
of a pole.

On the shore, among a host of other things, were the sedges,
_ Eleocharis palustris, Scirpus occidentalis, S. pedicellatus, Carex vesi-
caria, C. lenticularis and one of the bellflowers, Campanula uliginosa.

At Pelot’s Bay very much the same water weeds were collected
and on the rocky shore we found the rare meadow rue, Thalictum con-

fine.

8 JOINT BULLETIN 6

The second forenoon was rainy but in the afternoon we went
down to “the gut,” as the passage between North and South Hero is
called, and botanized on the low shores of South Hero. In the woods
back from the shore were the moonseed, Menispermum canadense, and
Sanicula trifoliata, among a host of other plants common to such
situations.

On the shore we found the arrow heads, Sagittaria graminea, and
S. arifolia, hedge hyssop, Gratiola virginica, the pipewort, Hriocaulon
septangulare, the sedge, Cyperus aristatus, the rushes, Juncus pelo-
carpus and J. nodosus and, last but not least, a new plant for the state,
the waterwort, Elatine americana; also another rarely found, Myriophyl-
lum tenellum. Later, in a dried-up place, at North Hero, the bladder-
wort, Utricularia intermedia was discovered. About 50 kinds of birds
were seen. Altogether it was another one of our very pleasant and
profitable field meetings.

List of Birds Seen

The following list of birds seen on the trip was made by Dr. Anne
Perkins of Collins, N. Y.: Red-eyed vireo, warbling vireo, bank swallow,
barn swallow, purple martin (abundant), kingbird, yellow warbler,
black and white warbler, redstart, great-crested flycatcher, downy wood-
pecker, solitary sandpiper, black duck, herring gull, song sparrow, cat-
bird, robin, chipping sparrow, English sparrow, blue-winged teal, white-
breasted nuthatch, red-breasted nuthatch, chickadee, Wilson’s thrush,
bluebird, white-throated sparrow, green heron, blue heron, northern
water thrush, chimney swift, goldfinch, king fisher, crow, swamp spar-
row, least flycatcher, northern yellowthroat, American bittern, vesper
sparrow, field sparrow, cowbird, cedar waxwing, bronze grackle, red-
winged blackbird, kildeer.

NEXT SUMMER’S MEETING

As Averill Lake, which has been suggested, is such an out of the
way place to get to by rail—it taking two days to go from the middle
eastern part of the state—and as the lake has been raised artificially
so that there is no particularly good botanizing due to the obliteration
of the old shore line, it has been decided that the Vermont Botanical
club and the Vermont Bird club will go to Tyson and Plymouth for
their 1920 field meeting. There are several bogs in this vicinity and

s

a

VERMONT BOTANICAL AND BIRD CLUBS 9

about the only lime rock to be found east of the Green Mountains is
located there. The club members should be able to secure good accom-
modations at a reasonable rate.

There are plans to lengthen the usual two days meeting in order
to cover more ground, the Plymouth section having been little visited
by botanists.

There may be some disappointments at the change in program, as
not a few wished to visit Averill Lake, but Island Pond has been sug-
gested as a much better northern botanical field and it will be con-
sidered for the 1921 meeting. It is not far from Averill.

A SPRING DAY IN FLORIDA

Evaline Darling Morgan

I wish that I might picture to you the shining fields and flowing
road that led away from Lake Winnemisset (DeLand), Fla., on March
30, 1919, across country to New Smyrna, Daytona and along the beach
to Ormond. There is something indescribably thrilling and tonic in
the spring air and sunshine of this favored region; the song of birds
rings out clearly and strikingly in the stillness of the wastes, while
the colors of the bright blossoms shine all the more brilliantly in con-
trast to the general greyness of the landscape. Like so many of the
lakes of Florida, Winnemisset lies like a clear jewel set around by in-
dented shores, level muck lands, and, a little farther back, by orange
groves which at this time of the year gleam bright with fruit and
fiowers, the fragrance of the latter permeating the air made sweet
to the ears by the notes of the purple martin, the mocking bird and
the cardinal.

A lone duck floats upon the clear water of the lake in the morn-
ing light. Overhead white-bellied swallows skim, and from the scrub
palmettos darts the Carolina wren or the brown thrasher, while that
distinctly Florida bird, the Joree, utters its questioning “tow weé” and
shyly peers from some secluded perch. Among the water oaks the
kinglets and the blue-gray gnatcatchers cry “ti-ti” or “ting.” Asso-
ciated with them are orange-crowned, yellow-throated, myrtle, prairie,

palm and parula warblers, and curiously enough, seemingly led from
tree to tree by a white-eyed vireo with his rippling mimicry that seems
to include them all. Here, too, the honey bees are reveling in the
sweet cups of Xolisma ferruginea with its cinnamon-tipped branches,
and twining low are the brilliant red clusters of Smilax pumila; but.
of the many beautiful shrubs that grow near the lake, none seems quite
so wonderful as staggerbush, Pieris Mariana, with its large white
waxy bells touched on sepals and stems with coral red, and its flower
clusters almost always including enlarged urn-shaped capsules in green,
red and frosted silver that renders the effect particularly striking.

Almost as lovely is the fetterbush with its smaller pink bells—a
shrub that almost universally lines the roadsides that are also bor-
dered by inkberry, Jlex glabra—with its persistent, bitter, black drupes;
by an ornamental blueberry, Vaccinium nitidum, with rose colored or
almost white flowers, brilliant sepals and stems; by a showy mint,
Pycnothymus rigidus, growing in big rosettes; or by the exquisitely
tinted lupine, Lupinus diffusus, with its pastel-blue blossoms and silver
grey foliage.

As we round a turn by the lakeside we see a wax myrtle, Morella
cerifera, with its greenish-yellow catkins and white, waxy fruit shining
out from the dark foliage, and the whole made into a picture by the
yellow jessamine, Gelsemium sempervirens, that clambers over it. At
its base the southern dewberry, Rubus trivialis, lifts its rose-like, white
flowers with their pink stamens to our admiring view, and near at
hand the lanced-leaved violet, Viola lanceolata, and the spring fleabane,
Erigeron vernus, gleam white in the grasses. : :

We are now turning east across a wilderness that is threaded by
a white-shell road 23 miles in length and taking one past cypress
swamps, pine and sand barrens, wet marsh land and acres of palmetto
and oak scrub. Along the borders of the cypress swamp Virginia
willows, tea virginica, with their drooping racemes, rise out of the
dark waters wherein grow lizard’s tail, Sauwrurus cernuus, bright pink
smartweed, Persicaria hydropiperoides, and a large-flowered bladder-
wort, Utricularia fibrosa. The cypress trees in their feathery new green
show gleaming white in their tops, and the field glasses reveal white
herons posing with up-lifted heads in perfect safety. These are prob-
ably the immatures of the little blue heron, a bird so common that
we come upon it in the road and at frequent intervals in the marshes
when the great blue and Ward’s herons rise majestically as we ap-
proach. Meadow larks are singing, bluebirds are warbling, flickers and

VERMONT BOTANICAL AND BiRD CLUBS al

robins calling, and new voices reveal the presence of the brown-headed
nuthatch with its chatter, and the red-cockaded woodpecker with its
hoarse call. Among the pines where these birds are feeding, the pine
warblers are numerous and seated on one of the branches we discover
a Florida barred owl that, on our homeward way, we heard calling to
another male miles and miles away, the one deep toned and awesome,
the other like an echo. At many points the showy red-bellied wood-
pecker is calling lustily and jerking up a tree; at another, the pileated
is first recognized by its call and then quickly discovered, and at still
another place, one of our party shows us where he had seen the rare
ivory-billed woodpecker a few days before. All along the wayside the
marshes are dotted with the spring helenium, purple, yellow and pale
lilac butterworts, Pinguicula elatior, P. lutea, P. pumila, the loveliest
to my mind of all the flowers that I found in Florida, bright orange
“bachelor buttons,’ Polygala lutea and more rarely by that lovely
Amaryllis, the purple tinted white Atamasco lily, Atamasco Atamasco.

At one alluring spot I asked to stop and upon getting out dis-
covered a nodding pink flower with clustered leaves at its base which
are covered with white down beneath. It proved to be Chaptalia
tomentosa and a field botanist of DeLand told me it was the one spot
where he had discovered it, and added: “How did you do it?”

At intervals partly dried-up ponds or lakes are to be seen with
numberless button-like white heads of the pipewort, EHriocaulon com-
pressum, shining above the water, and growing in great masses is the
showy, feathery-foliaged St. John’s wort, Hypericum myrtifolium, with
its bushy flat tops literally covered with hundreds of bright yellow
flower clusters.

Circling around and farther back in soil that has once been sub-
merged are dainty bartonias, Bartonia verna, with their tiny white
blossoms on leafless stems, as well as the minute bladderworts, Utri-
cularia cornuta, with their perfect spurred jewels. Then, like a yellow
fringe, come the showy sarracenias (minor) their trumpet leaves
spotted with white and veined with green and red, while interspersed
with them are the brilliant calopogons, (tuberosum), and rose pogonias,
(ophioglossoides, magenta-pink sabbatias, (gracilis), and the star-like
Hypozxis juncea. In some favored spots all these lovely blossoms are
made more so by contrast with the white-topped sedge, Dichromena
colorata, growing freely among them.

Shining out like slender columns from oak and palmetto scrub rise
the custard apples—papaws, Asimina speciosa, with their showy, leathery,

12 JOINT BULLETIN 6

straw-colored blossoms, growing on slender, upright branches and wav-
ing like fairy wands to the passersby, and clambering among and over
the scrub, the dainty, sensitive brier, Morongia uncinata, sheds beauty
around by its fluffy pink balls of bloom with their golden stamens.

As we neared the coast vegetation becomes more abundant, cab-
bage palms, Sabal Palmetto, of splendid growth with vines like smilax,
(Bona-nor), and trumpet flower, Bignonia crucigera, add to the jungle
effect where oaks with wonderful festoons of Spanish moss, Tillandsia
usneoides, lend enchantment to truly tropical vistas. Here quantities
of blue salvia, (lyrata), border the way, as well as occasional patches of
the red, (coccinea), while wild verbena, (Lambertii), and brilliant orange
or purple lantana, (Camara and Sellowiana), gladden the eye. By the
Halifax River was found the wild heliotrope, Heliotropium Curassavicum.
There also were the great oyster beds, and there various water birds
were wading and fishing, among them the Louisiana heron, a noticeably
beautiful species with contrasted blues, chestnut and white. In the
grasses, sparrows new to me were singing and fluttering (probably
Scott’s seaside), but I could not be sure of its identity.

Between Daytona and Sea Breeze, as we approach the ocean, masses
of spiderwort, Tradescantia refiera, with their brilliant blues, showy
white poppies, Argemone alba, Spanish bayonets, Yucca aloifolia, and
Cherokee roses, R. laevigata, make a fairyland of beauty. Here, as
elsewhere, phlox, escaped from cultivation and of every hue, covers acres
of waste ground, and on the sand cliffs above the shining beach, gay
gaillardias grow. Sandpipers, gulls and pelicans add interest to this
charming scene. As we speed over the white sand of the motorists’
Paradise towards Ormond, the wide stretches bordering the sea, mag-
nify Nature’s greatness. With the declining day we are facing toward
home when we are to experience one of the most thrilling sights of
the day in the V-shaped evening flight of the white herons. Over the
tops of the great pines they circle in two squads with from 50 to 75
birds in each, winging their way to their rookeries across mysterious
marshes and beyond our vision. What better ending for a spring
day in Florida?

BOTANIZING AT THE FAIRBANKS MUSEUM IN 1919
Inez Addie Howe

Last summer was an especially interesting season from a botanist’s

VERMONT BOTANICAL AND BIRD CLUBS 13

standpoint. The extreme heat of June forced many midsummer plants
into bloom from 10 days to two weeks earlier than usual. The dry
weather of July and August greatly minimized the number of blooms
on the orchids due at that time, but the same drought shrunk the
ponds so much that collecting pond weeds and water plants was much
more successful than usual.

From the museum we did much systematic work, covering new
areas within our five-mile radius, with many additions to our local
flora as a result.

With the addition of Miss Mary L. Wheeler to our museum staff,
much more efficient work was accomplished than I have usually been
able to do. To her, credit is due for a station for Crepis capillaris in
St. Johnsbury. According to the flora this is the third station in the
state.

The additions to our local flora were as follows: Amaranthus
graecizans, Digitaria sanguinalis, Artemisia biennis, Cyperus esculentus,
Utricularia cornuta, Bidens connata, Chenopodium incisum, Myrica
Gale, Crepis capillaris, Polygonum prolificum, Kalmia polifolia, Habe-
naria flava, Potamogeton obtusifolius, P. praelongus, Ambrosia trifida,
Camelina sativa, Centaurea nigra var. radiata, Oxybaphus floribundus,
Euphorbia humistrata, Isoetes echinospora var. Braunii, Carex foenea,
C. flava, C. granularis, C. scoparia, Eriophorum virginicum, a total of
25 species.

Of this number three, Polygonum prolificum, Camelina sativa and
Centaurea nigra var. radiata, are new to Vermont.

I have plenty of pressed specimens of P. prolificum, but of the
Centaurea I made no herbarium specimens. This was an oversight, but
the plants were brought to the museum for identification and, in the
rush of a busy week, missed getting into press. However, I expect
to be able to get a supply of this species next summer.

An especially profitable day’s botanizing was at Shadow lake in
the town of Concord, on July 11. Lobelia Dortmanna, Eriocaulon
septangulare, Drosera longifolia, Sparganium diversifolium var. acdaule,
and Utricularia cornuta were very common along the east shore and in
shallow water near the shore.

Ranunculus Boreanus in Vermont

I have one report to make that I am sure will interest other mem-
bers of the clubs as much as it does me. When the November, 1919,

14 JOINT BULLETIN 6

copy of Rhodora came, I read with much interest the article on Ranun-
culus Boreanus in Eastern New York.

In May, 1917, Miss Edith Hutchinson of Concord, Vt., a member
of our club, brought to me for identification a curious buttercup that
grows plentifully on her father’s farm. It blooms earlier than other
buttercups and has finely dissected leaves. I could find nothing in
Gray or Britton that would fit the specimen, so preserved it until such
time as I could identify it. I find on examination that it exactly fits
the description of Ranunculus boreanus as given in Rhodora. There-
fore Vermont can justly lay claim to the first station for this European
species. Miss Hutchinson assures me that she can supply me with any
number of specimens next spring.

With the death, in July, 1919, of William Everard Balch, the
botanists as well as all other natural scientists of Vermont, of New
England, and of America, lost one of their most efficient co-laborers,
but his matchless series of photographs of the orchids of Vermont,
which only lacked one Vermont species and embraced all but two
species ever recorded in New England, will ever be a lasting memorial
to his ability as a botanist and photographer. .

In closing I would like to give a few statistics of our botanical
work for 1919. On our flower tables at the museum we displayed dur-
ing the season 710 species of flowering plants, 52 of ferns and fern
allies and 26 of mosses and lichens, collected within a five mile radius
of the museum, beside a hundred or more species from mountain, lake
and seashore far beyond our range.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN FLORA—W YOMING
Ruth B. Fisher |

The section of Wyoming where I spent part of the summer has its
headquarters 50 miles from the railroad station, Cody. It has an
elevation of 6,900 feet and lies in a narrow mountain valley gouged out
by the south fork of the Shoshone River. About us plateaus and
peaks rose to elevations of 11,000, sometimes 12,000 feet, and over.
From “The Ranch,” so called because it was a resting place for tourists,
we made pack trips of several days length to the surrounding wilder-
nesses. These were to the Thoroughfare Country adjoining the south-
east of Yellowstone park, Boulder basin, and the Shoshone plateau
which separates the headwaters of the Shoshone, Greybull and Wind

rivers. Our night camps were usually made just below the tree line
which seems to be about 11,000 feet at this latitude.

My plant press consisted of two boards, rounded at the corners,
filled with newspapers and tied with cords. This I fastened to the
pommel of my saddle, with camera and glasses, but later consigned the
press to the dufflebag, substituting in its place an oilskin sack for
horseback collections. To hasten the drying I used in camp the back
part of our portable stove.

The greatest floral wonders were near the summits of the divides
in spongy places kept moist by the melting snowbanks above. It was
in such locations that I found anemones, ranunculuses, and a white
caltha. The dryer slopes near were blued by forget-me-nots, Myosotis
alpestris, and Mertensia alpina which I thought at first was another
forget-me-not of a deeper blue. A little farther down the grassy
mountain sides were several species of painted cup, Castilleja, from
cream colored to rich carmine; the higher the altitude the wider and
deeper colored were the leaves that formed the blossom. Among the
more showy plants were a dark blue larkspur, Delphinum Nelsonii,
the white masses of Phlox multifiora, the dark magenta Primula Parryi,
also the graceful columbine, Aquilegia coerulea, with flowers fully three
inches in length which shaded from dark lavender to pure cream white
specimens. Another cream colored aquilegea, oreophila, was found
on rocky ledges overhanging a river canyon.

On the exposed rounding summit of Needle mountain at a height
of 12,000 feet I found two spring beauties flowering in August; several
erigerons; moss campion; a small poppy, Papaver radicatum; and two
_Townsendias, one of these, alpina, never having been reported but once
before. This was a curious, compact sphere of leaves and purplish
flowers about an inch and a half in diameter which secured itself to
the ground by a taproot.

On the mountain slopes the most numerous and varied plants were
the many species of the Pea family such as Lupinus, Astragalus, Vicia,
Hedysarum and several others. These are the mainstay of the elk
and mountain sheep which we often saw on these summer ranges.
At about 9,000 feet altitude I found two of our Vermont plants, the
twin flower, Linnaea americana, and the single flowered shinleaf,
Moneses unifiora.

The flora of my lowest elevation along the Shoshone consisted
mostly of sagebrush, Artemisia tridentata, even to the river’s edge;
masses of Rosa Fendleri, blossoming in July; the black cottonwood,

16 JOINT BULLETIN 6

Populus angustifolius, covering the ground for about a week to a depth
of two inches with its cotton wool; and the silverleafed Buffalo-berry,
Lepargyraea argentea, the sweet odor of whose flowers is conveyed to
some distance

This sketch merely gives a glimpse of what there is in this section
of the Rockies. I found on my return east that I had but about a
hundred specimens the greater part of them, however, were collected at
the higher altitudes. I am indebted to Dr. Rydberg and to Dr. Pennell,
both of the New York Botanical garden, for the naming of these.

THE WHORLED MILKWEED (Asclepias verticillata)
W. W. Eggleston

Professor Joseph Torrey’s Additions to Oakes’ Catalogue of Vermont
Plants (Thompson’s Appendix to the History of Vermont, 1853) in-
cludes “Asclepias verticillata, Brattleboro (C. C. Frost).” Like several
other of Frost’s plants, of which botanical specimens were not found,
this species was listed in “Plants to be Looked For” in the Vermont
Flora of 1900 and entirely omitted in the 1915 catalogue. There are
very good reasons to believe that it can be found in the lower Con-
necticut Valley of Vermont. Tuckerman and Frost, in their Catalogue
of Plants Growing Within a Radius of Thirty Miles of Amherst, Mass.
(1875) include Asclepias verticillata without comment. Stone’s Plants
of Franklin, Hampshire and Hampden counties, Mass. (1913) also list
the species without special comment. In the Gray Herbarium there is
a specimen labelled as follows, “Cliff, Sunderland, Mass., Nov. 1, 1914,
F. G. Floyd.” No other herbaria has been consulted. It is represented
in the Gray Herbarium from many stations in Massachusetts, Rhode
Island and Connecticut. It seems to prefer sandy, well drained soil
of the plains and the lesser mountains.

In the western United States the whorled milkweed group is rep-
resented by at least three other species. Of these, Asclepias galioides
is abundant in Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Arizona, and has been

found to be very poisonous to all grazing animals. Asclepias mexicana
and A. pumila are also known to be poisonous.

In the South A. verticillata is looked on as an antidote in snake
poisoning.

PILEATED WOODPECKER VISITS DOORYARD
Mabel Strong Heselton

The writer has been receiving visits from a pileated woodpecker. I
first heard him in some woods just back of the house during the summer
and fall and one day in October, upon hearing the call very near the
house, I rushed out to find the bird on a small willow tree at the
foot of our garden, less than 10 rods from the house. All through
the winter (1919-1920) he has repeated his visits and I have had fine
opportunities to see him both with and without field glasses. I have
been much interested for it is the first time that I have ever seen the
bird alive.

I am feeding a large flock of chickadees and nuthatches, among
them a pair of red-breasted ones, and a pair each of downy and hairy
woodpeckers. They come to my feeding place, high up under the edge
of our back piazza, where I keep doughnuts on nails and suet, pork,
bones and butternuts. Often there are a dozen birds at a time, this
being the largest number of birds I have entertained in many years.

Since the heavy snow I have had redpolls and tree sparrows and
goldfinches but I am so afraid that the cat will get them that I do
not encourage them for I know that neighboring barns offer an abun-
dance of food and shelter.

In Woodstock several ladies are feeding a flock of 18 or more
evening grosbeaks but I have not been privileged to see them this
winter. I have a neighbor who is feeding as many birds as I am and
three flying squirrels and two red squirrels in addition.

REPORT ON VERMONT HEPATICAE FOR 1919

Annie Lorenz
The only addition for 1919 is Anthoceros crispulus (Mont.) Douin,
collected by Dr. Evans at Jericho in 1903, which had been listed as
A. punctatus L. The writer collected A. crispulus at Ascutneyville,

94 JOINT BULLETIN 6

just after the North Hero meeting, and this raised the question of the
identity of the previous collection. A. punctatus is now admitted to
the list on Frost’s authority.

The Vermont list now stands at 130. The noticeable feature of
the hepatic flora of North Hero was the paucity of species, only three
being noted. This was probably due to the dry limestone and old
cultivation of the island. One species, however, Fossombronia foveolata
Lindb. was excessively abundant on the muddy shores.

TAME ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK

Mrs. W. H. Moore

We have here in Woodstock a tame rose-breasted grosbeak which
was brought to me when a baby bird. There was then a slight show-
ing of pink under each wing, indicating that it was a male. This was
in May four years ago. Mr. Moore has had the bird at his newspaper
office most of the time. He is the office pet and is admired by every-
one because of his lovely coat. He is very tame and, when the cage
door is left open, he hops on to one’s hand or shoulder and eats out of
the hand or from the lips; then he flies around the office on a tour of
inspection. He picks type from the compositors’ cases, investigates
articles on the counters and often becomes so mischievous that he
is taken back to his cage.

His pranks are the same when he is at the house where he is this
winter. As this was being written he flew to the back of the chair,
overlooked the process and then started off on mischief bent. If it is
plants or work baskets, the pins and needles, leaves and blossoms drop
around him like rain drops. He readily hops on to one’s hand. He
will sit quietly on the open door of the phonograph and listen to the
music long enough for several records to be played, twisting his head
in a comical manner.

He is a wonderful singer. Interspersed with his own songs are
those of other birds which he heard from the office door. Peter is his
home name and Mortimer his office appellation.

PELORIA IN HABENARIA

Anne E. Perkins

I collected in Vermont an abnormal orchid. The specimen was
sent to C. A. Weatherby who writes concerning it as follows:

“T have just received the queer orchid which you collected at
Berkshire, Vt., back from Professor Ames. He states that my second
conjecture was correct and that the plant is an abnormal form of
Habenaria psycodes. It is an example of the phenomenon known as
peloria by which (this in case you do not happen to be familiar with
the term) an irregular flower becomes regular by the duplication of
one or another of its parts to the exclusion of those which differ from
it. In this case the petals are repeated and the lip with its spur is
eliminated.

“Following the clue given by Professor Ames, I find some litera-
ture on the subject which I had previously overlooked. A _ precisely
similar form has been recorded in Habenaria fimbriata (Lynn, N. H.,
H. G. Jesup, Bot. Gaz. xviii, 189) and also in H. ciliaris. The opposite
kind of peloria-in which the petals have spurs like the lip has also
been at least once noted in a species of Habenaria.

“In the case of your flower the peloria seems also to have extended
to the stamens which, by the production of one or two additional
anther-sacs, show a partial reversion: to a primitive regular-flowered
type. I find a similar phenomenon recorded in a peloric flower of a
European species.

“Professor Ames does not say whether he has seen such a form in
Habenaria psycodes before; but I find no record of one.”

WOODSTOCK PLANTS
E. M. Kittredge

Among the plants I have collected for Miss Billings in the town
of Woodstock are more than 50 recorded from only a few stations in
the state and 35 others not mentioned in the 1915 issue of the Vermont
Flora. Of these not recorded, perhaps a few of the most interesting are
Ribes rotundifolium, Euphorbia glyptosperma, Vitis aestivalis, Oeno-
thera muricata var. canescens, Pentstemon pallidus, Houstonia coeru-
lea, var. Faxonorum, Lonicera Xylosteum, Achillea ligustica, Artemisia
annua, Chrysanthemum Parthenium, Hieracium pilosella var. viride,

26 JOINT BULLETIN 6

Lactuca villosa. With the exception of the feverfew, only one or two
plants of the composites were found. The Penstetmon was a very in-
teresting find as it is understood to be the first record for that species
so far north.

Bushes of the fly honeysuckle are widely distributed on the hills
and along the river, doubtless owing their origin to cultivated bushes
on the grounds of many residences nearby.

Of the plants somewhat rare in the state that have been collected
in Woodstock, the following are worthy of mention: Equisetum palustre,
Lycopodium inundatum var. Bigelovii, Elymus virginicus var. hirsuti-
glumis, Festuca octoflora, Scirpus atrovirens, Spergularia rubra, Ane-
mone riparia, Amphicarpa pitcheri (abundant along the Ottaqueeche),
Erodium cicutarium, Acer negundo, Halenia deflexa, Cynanchum nigrum,
Veronica Chamaedrys, Crepis capillaris, Leontodon autumnalis.

Other plants, new to the state and collected in Woodstock and
presented to the Billings Herbarium, are Hypozis hirsuta, by Mrs.
Heselton, Salsola pestifera, by Mrs. Mack.

While my collecting in the state has been chiefly at Woodstock,
I have been fortunate to find a few interesting plants in other locali-
ties in the state. Euphorbia glyptosperma, collected in Woodstock
in 1917, was found in Proctorsville in August, 1920. Corydalis aurea
was collected at North Ferrisburgh and Charlotte, Trifolium dubium,
Rhus glabra, Lathyrus palustris var. myrtifolius and Zanthoxrylum
palustris in North Ferrisburgh.

*VERMONT DRAGON FLIES LISTED IN MANUAL OF
THE ODONATA OF NEW ENGLAND

D. Lewis Dutton

For the past three summers the author of this note has been col-
lecting dragon flies for R. Heber Howe, Jr., who was working on the
Odonata of New England, and has about completed a working manual
to cover New England. This manual describes 156 species for New
England, of which 44 are known to inhabit Vermont.

*As there is no other medium in Vermont for publishing articles
concerning the natural history of the state which do not have to do
with plants or birds, the officers of the society have decided to include
such articles from time to time in the annual bulletin. Papers on
branches which have not been treated are solicited. A check list of
the mammals was published in Joint Bulletin 2, 1916.—Eb.

VERMONT BOTANICAL AND BiRD CLUBS 7

The most of my collecting has been done about Brandon and
Leicester, unless otherwise noted after the species. Before the past
three years collecting, only five or six species were reported for Ver-
mont and no material was to be located to verify all of the reports
of those few.

Mr. Howe has had access to the collections of a few other col-
lections beside my own that have been made in Vermont during the
past three years and the locations and collector are here noted for
species that are not of my collecting.

The list is as follows:

Agrion aequabile, A. maculatum.

Lestes unguiculatus, L. uncatus, L. disjuncta (Woodstock—Morse),
L. violacea.

Enallagma hageni, E. ebrium, E. signatum (St. Albans—Johnson).

Nehalennia ireni, N. gracilis.

Amphiagrion saucium.

Chromagrion conditum (Bristol).

Ischnura verticalis.

Cordulegaster diastatops (Jay, Troy—Morse), C. maculatus.

Ophiogomphus aspersus (Bennington—Johnson).

Dromogomphus spinosus.

Boyeria vinosa.

Basiaeschna janata.

Gomphaeschna furcillata (Newport—Slosson).

Anax junius.

Aeshna umbrosa, A. eremita, A. verticalis, A. canadensis, A. con-
stricta, A. umbrosa (Rutland—Johnson).

NOTES
New Station for Holly Fern

Miss Annie Lorenz of Hartford, Conn., reports a fine station for
Polistychum Braunii in Weathersfield gorge, discovered August 11,
1919.

Saw Humming-bird Incubating

A humming-bird was observed incubating by Miss Emeline Webster
of Hartland at the premises of Mrs. L. S. Bartlett and Miss Maria
Stedman in West Brattleboro in June, 1919. The nest was on the
branch of a maple tree over the lawn and by climbing out on to a
piazza roof the observers could see into it, thus having an opportunity
to observe the domestic life of this interesting bird.

Vaccinium Vitis-Idaea at Brighton

There is a good station for Vaccinium Vitis-Ideae L. var. minus
Lodd. at Brighton. This was reported in 1911 by W. H. Blanchard but
for some reason was omitted in the Flora of Vermont, published in
1915.

Bulletin 7 Wanted

Harold G. Rugg of Hanover, N. H., is desirous of obtaining a copy
of Bulletin 7, Vermont Bird club, 1914, and is willing to pay 50 cents
for one of the booklets.

Meadowlarks Wintering in Vermont

Two meadowlarks wintered near Rutland during the severe winter
of 1919-1920. When the thermometer remained far below zero, day
after day, in January, they entered the city and were seen on ash
piles which protruded above the snow. Following the two blizzards
in March they were not seen.

-

Barrow’s Goldeneye on the Connecticut

Wendell P. Smith of Wells River writes that Barrow’s goideneye,
the American goldeneye, and one Holboell’s grebe wintered on the
Connecticut river near Wells River.

Carex Wildenovii in Vermont

Carex Wildenovii was found growing on a limestone ledge in a
pasture in Sudbury in July, 1919, by Clarence H. Knowlton of Hingham,
Mass. This is the first known collection of this sedge in Vermont. Mr.
Knowlton reports Euphorbia glyptosperma from a railroad embank-
ment in Burlington.

Suggests Intensive Botanizing

“A suggestion that I have to make to the Botanical club members
is an intensive comparative study of small areas, the measurements to
be decided by the club, to ascertain simularity and differences of plant
growths in different parts of the state. Of course it should be desig-
nated whether the area is to be in the open or in the woods, in dry or
in moist situations,’ writes Miss Elizabeth Billings of Woodstock.

Grosbeaks at Feed Table

“A small flock of pine grosbeaks has been about the village (Wood-
stock) for several weeks and has come to a feeding box placed four
feet from a house on a bay window and just opposite a chamber window.
Evening grosbeaks have also frequented feeding boxes about the village
for two or three winters, staying as late as May 1,” writes Mrs. W. H.
Moore.
