White Mountains, Mono County, California, 12 July, 1891, 

 Coville & Funston, No. 1806 ; type specimen on National 

 Herbarium sheet No. 294. Doubtless related to T. durmscu- 

 lum of Utah, but upper face of foliage differing as to hue and 

 venation, also dull-green, whereas that of the Utah species is 

 distinctly lustrous as in T. alpimivi.

Viola reptabunda. Acaulescent and related to V. pri- 

 mulifolia^ but small and low, fully developed late summer 

 specimens 3 or 4 inches high, blades of largest leaves 1/^ to 2 

 inches long, subcordate-deltoid, acute, obsoletely crenate, 

 glabrous on both faces, in texture rather firm : pods from late 

 apetalous flowers oval, obtuse, strongly nodding on their short i 



but otherwise upright peduncles : such low autumnal plants 

 surrounded by many runners a foot long, rooting and forming 

 new plants at frequent intervals, these also fruiting in autumn. 



Sandy swamp near Moultrie, Georgia, R. M. Harper, 25 

 Sept., 1902 ; his n. 1675 as in U. S. Herb. The petaliferous 

 flowering of such a type is not needful to establish it is distinct 

 from and all varieties of V. primiili folia.

Viola senecionis. Akin to V. primuHfolia, much taller, 

 at petaliferous flow^ering 6 or 7 inches high, in summer devel- 

 opment not very much larger : blades of largest leaves nearly 

 3 inches long and 2 in breadth, of subcordate-oval outline, 

 rounded and very obtuse at summit, only slightly and very 

 abruptly tapering at base to the long petiole, the whole margin 

 coarsely and very evenly crenate : petaliferous flowers small 

 for the plant, white, their peduncles often 6 or 7 inches high, j 



their bractlets linear-filiform, inserted at about the middle;
