Aconitum Noveboracense, Gray.*
By Fred. V. Coville.
In the Columbia College herbarium are specimens of an
Aconitum labeled, “ Aconitum uncinatum, Greene, Chenango
Co., N. Y., received May 30, 1857, A. Willard.”
In the Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical Club for 1
(Vol. xii., p. 52), a single specimen of the same species is re-
ported to have been found by A. L. Coville at Oxford, Che-
nango Co., N Y. In the fall of* 1885 the writer found at Oxford
another station, the specimens numbering _aboy,t sixty. Speci-
mens of these, together with those from Greene, in the Columbia
College herbarium, came to the hands of Dr. Gray, who decided,
as had been before suspected, that the plant was not Aconitum
uncinatum. He has given it the name Aconitum Noveboracense,
with the following description:
Aconitum Koveboracense^ n.sp.
Inter A. delphinifolium et A. Columbianum collocandum
propter racemum angustum subpauciflorum- glabrum; caule
bipedali erecto folioso; foliis membranaceis, 5-7-partitis, seg-
mentis basi cuneatis trifidis, lobis incisis, lobulis et apicibus lance-
olatis; casside gibboso-obovata superne late rotundata fere sym-
metrica, rostro breviusculo porrecto parum descendente ; sepalis
anticis angustis parvis ; folliculis oblongis.
,3,,The casque is higher than that of A. delpfiinifolium, a far
northwestern species, but broader, lower, more symmetrical, and
much less rostrate than that of A. Columbianum. A. G.
Dr. Augustus Willard, the first to find the plant,, has long
sir^ce,* died, leaving neither herbarium nor plant-records. The
original Grjee^e sJfeation has therefore been, lost, the singl;e plant
first found at Oxford has disappeared; so that the only station
now known is that about two and a half miles south of the vil-
lage of Oxfoid. The plants grow in shaded alluvial soil, on the ,
^nk ot^he Chenango River.
