114 Rhodora. [JUNE 
were collected by Mr. Eggleston at West Nashville, Tenn., May 26, 
1909. But there is a specimen in the National Museum, collected 
near Nashville July, 1897, by Mr. Williamson, but named by Mr. C. L. 
Pollard V. viarum Pollard. A still older specimen is in the herbarium 
of the Missouri Botanical Garden, collected by Dr. A. Gattinger at La 
Vergne, Tenn. (15 miles southeast of Nashville), May 13, 1881. 
But it was of more interest to find at St. Louis a specimen from Bowl- 
ing Green, Kentucky, collected by Miss Sadie F. Price April 11, 1899, 
labeled “V. faleata Greene.” 
V. SEPTEMLOBA LeConte, a most distinct and beautiful species of 
the coastal plains from N. Carolina to Mississippi, seems to occur, 
at least sporadically, in Virginia and even in Delaware. It was 
admitted into the revised edition of the Illustrated Flora on the 
evidence of a specimen from Virginia Beach collected by Mrs. N. L. 
Britton. Later a good specimen of LeConte’s plant was seen in the 
herbarium of the Field Museum, Chicago, the ticket reading: “ Viola 
cucullata var. palmata L. Newcastle Co’y, Del., W. M. Canby, coll." 
Unfortunately the date and the name of the town where found are 
lacking. But collectors 1n these localities should be on the watch for 
this species. 
I take this opportunity to emend the names of three hybrids, two 
described from Lexington, Mass., and one from the Middle Atlantie 
States; the change is required by the recognition of V. triloba Schwein. 
as a species distinct from V. palmata L. But both species are found to 
cross with V. fimbriatula, with V. cucullata, and with V. sagittata, as 
follows: — 
1. Viola fimbriatula X triloba, nom. nov.— V. fimbriatula X 
palmata Robinson, Ruopora viii. 53, pl. 70. March, 1906. 
2, Viola fimbriatula X palmata, hyb. nov.— Not V. fimbriatula 
X palmata Robinson, from which in aspect it is markedly distinct.— 
Leaves ovate in outline, subcordate, obtuse, 3-5-lobed or -cleft on 
either side chiefly below the middle, finely pubescent especially on 
the petioles and along the veins of the lower surface; flowers, capsules 
and peduncles intermediate between those of the parents; plants 
quite infertile; offspring diversiform,— some with leaves like those 
of the hybrid parent, others with leaves uncut as in V. fimbriatula, 
and still others with deeply lobed leaves as in V. palmata, in all cases 
the width of leaf being intermediate.— East Lyme, Ct., Miss A. M.
