i fiEVe never seen Bassia growing, hut it is statedly
a^'%ho are ae^aainted with it that at Atlantic Citjr, for in-
ilSnoe^ it is so abundant that it has every appearance of
fg a native plant. The only reason for regarding it as
duced is the faot that it was: Hot discovered along the
|tio coast patil> within the last few years. It seems
lie that if it were a native it would have teen picked
3mg ago hy some of the many collectors who have visited
that and other localities where it does grow. It is just the
sort of plant that one would expeot to occur native in the
United States.
