1908] Fernald,— Plants of northeastern America 53 
caulibus albo-villosis, foliis fructibusque eis formae typicae similibus. 
— Stems white-villous: leaves and fruit as in the typical form.— 
Pennsylvania, Illinois and Kansas; the type collected on limestone, 
on the Conostega, near Binkley’s Bridge, Lancaster Co., PENNSYL- 
VANIA, June 21, 1901 (А. A. Heller). In its pubescence strongly 
simulating О. Claytoni (Michx.) Clarke, but with the foliage and fruit 
of О. longistylis. 
Lyonta nitida (Bartr.), n. comb. Andromeda nitida Bartr. ex 
Marsh. Arb. 8 (1785). Pieris nitida Benth. & Hook. f. Gen. ii. 588 
(1876).— Lyonva is well distinguished from Andromeda by its angulate 
capsule with thickened or corky sutures, and by its awnless anthers. 
LYONIA LIGUSTRINA (L.) DC., var. foliosiflora (Michx.), n. comb. 
Andromeda pedunculata, var. joliosiflora Michx. Fl. i. 254 (1803). 
Xolisma foliosiflora Small, Fl. 889, 1336 (1903).— This variety is 
more pronounced in the Southern States than in the North, where the 
typical form of the species is most abundant. Occasionally, however, 
the variety is found in New England. 
GAYLUSSACIA BACCATA Wang., forma leucocarpa (Porter), n. comb. 
G. resinosa (Ait.) Torr. & Gray, var. leucocarpa Porter, Bull. Torr. 
Bot. Cl. xvi. 21 (1889).— Mr. Mackenzie has recently called attention! 
to the fact that Wangenheim, in 1787, clearly described and illus- 
trated our common Huckleberry as G. baccata, two years before the 
shrub was designated by Aiton Vaccinium resinosum. The white- or 
amber-fruited form is rare, but it is occasionally found in sufficient 
quantity to furnish fruit to local markets. 
VACCINIUM neglectum (Small), n. comb.  Polycodium neglectum 
Small, Fl. 893, 1336 (1903).— A pretty species of our southeastern 
states with the branchlets, leaves, etc., strictly glabrous. 
VACCINIUM nubigenum, n. sp., caule fruticoso 2-7 dm. alto, ramis 
teretibus purpureo-brunneis junioribus pubescentibus vel glabrescenti- 
bus; foliis ellipticis utrinque subacutis 1.5-3.5 em. longis 7-17 mm. 
latis submembranaceis glabris sublucidis valde reticulatis serrulatis, 
dentibus spinulosis; floribus axillaribus solitariis, pedunculis 3-5 
mm. longis; corollis ellipsoideo-urceolatis 6 mm. longis 4-5 mm. latis; 
baccis globosis vel pyriformibus glauco-nigris 7-9 mm. longis.— Shrub 
2-7 dm. high: branches terete, the older ones purplish-brown beneath 
the freely exfoliating light gray epidermis; the young branchlets paler 
brown, puberulent or glabrate: leaves elliptic, subacute at each end,
