Hypericum Canadense, L. var. majus, Gray Man. Ed. 5# 86 (i 867). A study bf .this plant in the field and herbarium leads me to think that it »has good claim to specific rank. Its characters of lanceolate, acute, 5 to 7-nerved leaves, greater size and longer and sharper calyx-lobes seem quite constant. I have not seen it growing with the typical H. Canadense. If they could be found together, important evidence might be obtained. I do not pro- pose here to elevate it to specific rank, but only to call attention to it in the hope that it may be investigated. Its range is given by Prof. Coulter (Bot. Gaz. xi. no) as “ Canada to Pennsylvania, Illinois and about the Great Lakes,” but by Watson and Coulter in the 6th editioorof Gray's Manual “L, Superior, Robbins, S. New York and «southward.” These, are contradictory. Specimens froq| Vermont, New Jersey, Illinois and Iowa are preserved in the Columbia Herbarium. Flora of New York State Hypericum majus (A.
