1923] Brackett,—American Species of Hypoxis 125 
indicates. It is possible, however, that Elliott, who lived at Charles- 
ton, knew the plant at the northern limit of its range. H. juncea has 
been credited to Alabama but upon the only reputed Alabama 
specimen in the National Herbarium, Mohr made the memorandum: 
"Locality doubtful, of later years not found in Alabama." The 
species is not admitted in Mohr’s Plant Life of Alabama.
