Iff A- Mr. Barnhart reported the occurrence of Azalea lutea L. (A.
o£ calendulacea Michx.),in an apparently native state near Tarrytown,
J* N. Y., and remarked on the distribution of this spccies, which is
^ not recorded in recent writings from further northeast than the
mountains of Pennsylvania. Dr. Britton called the attention of
rj the Club to the recorded occurrence of a yellow-flowered Azalea
pj in southern New York by Governor Cadwallader Colden about
the middle of the last century, and that Colden’s account of it had
_q been made a part of the citations by Linnaeus of his Azalea lutea
in 1753. Linnaeus later abandoned the name lutea on account -of
having received specimens of the pink-flowered species which he
described as A. nudiflora in 1762, supposing them to be the same.
Mr. Barnhart’s discovery is an interesting confirmation of the posi-
tion taken in. the recently issued “ List of Northeastern North
American Plants"
dulacea Michx.
