sepals. The stem is erect, two to four feet high, smooth below, 
becoming glandular above. Leaves, 2 to 5 inches long; mostly 4 
whorled, but often alternate, opposite, or 3 whorled; ovate lanceo-. 
late, sessile, tapering to the base, long acuminate, smooth, light 
green above, pale or glaucous beneath, irregularly dotted with mi- 
nute elevated red spots; margin entire, delicately red lined, sparing- 
Jy glandular under a lens; one ribbed, feather veined ; midrib whitc,, 
prominent beneath; lower and upper leaves becoming smaller. The 
upper whorl of leaves mostly bear the lowest whorl of the panicle in 
their axils. Panicle 3 to 8 inches long, terminal, pyramidal, come 
pound. Peduncles mostly irregularly 4-whorled, glandular, bracted. 
Pedicels, often twice the length of the petals, either whorled at the 
extremity of the peduncle or scattered, bracted. Bracts persistent, 
red edged and tipped. Sepals narrowly lanceolate, sharp pointed, 
red margined, and glaudular, (not fringed,) 4 to 3 the length of 
the petals. Corolla } to 3 of an inch in diameter. Petals broadly 
ovate, abruptly acute, sparingly glandular under a lens, not red 
dotted nor margined. Filaments monadelphous, slightly unequal. 
The plant deserved a name expressing the delicate red margin to 
the leaves, bracts, and sepals, which the sunlight renders quite ef- 
fective in the living plant. I found no traces if it along the moun- 
tain farther south, nor at Stone Mt., Georgia...‘ T. F. Auxen. 
_ 58. Migrations——Coming on the N. Y. Central R. R. a day or two 
sce, I saw a number of plants of Echinacea purpurea, Mcench, in 
full flower, at different places in the Mohawk valley east of St. 
Johnsville; perhaps thirty plants in all, scattered for perhaps four 
or five miles along. This is the first time I have seen the plant 
eastward. Its western companion, Rudbeckia hirta, L., I think first 
made its appearance in the eastern part of this state in 1860-1862. 
the prairies they. grow commonly every where. 
Perhaps some western botanist can inform us how for west Leu- 
canthemum vulgare, Lam., has travelled. In 1868, I had applications 
for specimens from Ann Arbor, Mich.; but in 1869, I saw it growing 
freely about the R. R. station at that place, though it seemed not 
yet to have crossed the state of Michigan. In Illinois and Iowa, : 
Saw none; though Maruta and other wayside weeds were abundant.

59. Lespedeza Stuvei, Nutt.—Mr. Chas. H. Peck, of Albany, writes 
that he eg this plant in 1868, between East Ncw York and Ca- 
narsie, in the brush near the first crossing on the dummy road, 
Some thirty to fifty rods from the track, on the east side. Mr. 
all calls our attention to his having found a specimen of this 
Plant, in shady woods east of Tarrytown, as reported in Paine’s 
Catalogue; which likewise contains the Amorpha elsewhere noticed.
