1922)  Grimes,—Some Plants of the Virginia Coastal Plain 151 
in full flower in June, 1921. on dry wooded slopes along a tributary 
of College Creek, south of Williamsburg. It is abundant on the south 
side of this stream for about a mile. This is the only station known 
and is in rough wooded country nearly a mile from the nearest house 
of any kind. It does not seem at all likely that the shrub was intro- 
duced by man since it has not been observed in any of the old gardens. 
** HYPERICUM SETOSUM L. Williamsburg, Aug. 15, 1921. No. 
4237. West of Williamsburg on sandy pine flats in open situations, 
infrequent. Not reported north of North Carolina. 
**VIOLA vILLOSA Walt. Three miles northeast of Williamsburg, 
March 28, 1921. No. 3356. Growing in dry sandy soil in pine woods. 
Scarce. This is the most northerly station known for this species. 
There is one other record (unpublished) for the state, the plant having 
been collected by Dr. H. D. House at Gilmerton, Norfolk Co., April 
19, 1913. Determined by Dr. Ezra Brainerd. 
VIOLA PEDATA L. West of Williamsburg, April 17, 1921. No. 
3437. One station only observed, in sandy clearing at edge of flat 
pine woods. This is not, of course, new to the flora of this region, but 
is interesting since the oldest collection of Linnaean material was 
from Virginia in 1688. V. pedata, var. concolor Th. Holm is very 
abundant. Determination by Dr. Brainerd. 
LILAEOPSIS LINEATA (Michx.) Greene. North of Williamsburg, 
June 28, 1921. No. 3863. Growing in tidal marsh of Queen's Creek, 
which flows northeast into the York River. A widely distributed 
species, hitherto reported in Virginia only from Colonial Beach, 
Westmoreland Co. (Coville). 
**AyuGA CHAMAEPITYS (L.) Schreb. Southern shore of York 
River north of Williamsburg, July 15, 1921. No. 4020. Aug. 20, 1921. 
No. 4273. A European species, heretofore unknown in North Amer- 
ica. Itis well established on the edge of a tidal marsh along the river, 
growing in loose sand containing fragments of calcareous shells, a 
quarter of a mile from the nearest and only house in the vicinity. 
There is no evidence of its introduction, except a heap of oyster 
shells near by, which indicates that fishermen used this spot as a 
landing to open their oysters in times past. When first found, July 
15, 1921, it had apparently been in flower for several weeks, and it 
continued to flower as late as Oct. 8. Determined by Mr. Paul C. 
Standley.
