9 Nov 10 (Sunday) - With J. L. Edwards. To N.J. with Edward. Visited the interesting bog on Bearpt Mt, with Lais, Eicea mariana, Chisgenes; Vaccinium macrocarpum and Oxyecous. Lycepodium (L. camp. var. flebipont, L. tristachyum, L. absolum var. cendricum, and L. elevatum) are all abundant. The swamps contain great quantities of Thelypterus spinulosus and var. veter media growing interspersed. Also visits the cliffs on th. Ranunculus leviculis (new to me) abundant in old brooks. Visited also the cliffs on the Green Pt. road. These have Calamin Bradleyi (new to me), Bellonia (new to me), Pellaea sturpifera, and on the Palm slopes, great increases of Thelypterus marginalis and T. spinulosus v. intermedia growing together. Nov 14 (Thursday) To Garden at Noon. Worked on Helianthus. I believe that there are good characters in the flowers - Lickerts little attention has been paid. These characters are: 1) rigidity of corolla lobes, resulting in erect or reflexed lobes, 2) color of lobes, 3) pubescence of lobes, 4) protrusion of anthers, 5) color, pubescence of anther tips 6) elevation of anther tube. The various species examined showed constant dif- fences in these respects. Nov 12 (Tuesday) Continued Helianthus. Anderson's estimate of Matsud does not seem very high. (See Rhodora article on H. atrorubescens). Watson has entirely omitted H. polyphyllus Small from his treatment. This species came from the granitic region of W. Georgia. I believe the fern material which I placed under this name is H. angustifolius, from which H. poly-
