CAYUGA FLORA (1926) NOTES: A weed in rich cultivated or waste places and on shores, often in heavy clay soils; frequent. July-Sept. The Mack farm s. of Ithaca (D.) ; near Coy Glen; various streets in Ithaca (D.) ; C. U. campus, in several places; Renwick; Myers Point (D.) ; Sheldrake (D.) ; Union Springs (D. !) ; Cayuga (D.) ; about Salt Pond w. of Howland Island; and elsewhere. Newf. to Minn, and B.C,, southw. to N. J., Colo., and Utah. Naturalized from Eu. A difficult weed to eradicate. Dudley gives interesting historical facts regarding its introduction in N. Y. State. S. arvensis var. glabrescens: In situations similar to the preceding; frequent. July-Sept. C. U. campus, near the baseball cage and back of Sibley College ; s. of Renwick, and near the Renwick Park (Stewart Park) buildings. Occasional in e. N. A. Bayard Long (see Torreya 22:91, 1922) considers the Sibley College specimens to be S. uliginosa Bieb. The other local specimens with glabrous involucre were not seen by Long, but they are all similar to the Sibley College specimens. They seem to differ somewhat from typical S. arvensis in the characters given by Long, and he may be correct in considering them as specifically distinct.
