§ 249. Veratrum Woodii, Robbins.—The enclosed item is in- 
teresting to me. I first saw the plant in Linton, Green County, 
Indiana. I next received a few specimens from Dr. Cozzens, Iowa, 
without locality. Now, the third time after twenty-five years, it 
turns up in Allenton, Mo. The flowers are almost perfectly black 
showing in the sunshine a faint sheen of purple. A. W. 
-ALLENrOoN, Mo., Aug. 5, 1878. 
Dear Sir :—I have just found Veratrum Woodii in great abun- 
dance along the south bank of the Meramee River, Jefferson Co., 
Mo., and within thirty miles of St. Louis. Now in bloom. Dr. 
-Englemann pronounces it the genuine Woodii.
