Desmodium sessilifolium, Torr. & Gray. This species was
found in the extreme south part of the town of Norwich, Conn*,
near the track df ?the N. L. N. R. R. On the north shore of
Trading Gove, which- -separates Norwich from Montville, rises a
steep rocky and sandy hill covered with a mixed growth of hard
woods, pitch pines, «and henilocks. The Desmodium grows, not
^very abundantly,'©nithe warm southern “slopes of this hill. More
or less is to be found also along the banks of the railroad which
here runs close along ithenvest bank of the Thames river. Unfor-
tunately the herbage ¡beside'the track is mowed so frequently that
the plant does-not ;.gat ;tlie chance to spread that it would other-
wise have. Whether tthis species occurs also on any of the neigh-
boring hills, or on iihe east side of the Thames, as seems not
improbable, the writer ;has .had no opportunity to ascertain.
