Maintains J/ex montana, T. and G. (1848) as the correct name 
for the shrub usually called 7 monticola, A. Gray (1856), and 
points out that Avenaria stricta, Michx., is the name which 
should be applied to A. Michauxii, Hook. f.; he maintains Oxalis 
stricta, L. as distinct from O. corniculata, and raises Zizia aurea, 
var. Bebbiz, Coult. and Rose, to specific rank. Among the other 
most interesting plants noted are Crepis pulchra, L., a European 
Composite seen in large quantities along the railroad at Culpep- 
per, Veronica Anagallis at Roanoke, not previously reported 
from so far south, Amemone trifolia, L., Rhododendron canescens 
(Michx.), Porter, and the introduced form of Ranunculus scelera- 
tus, L. Miss Vail gives a complete enumeration of the flowering 
plants and ferns collected, taking up some old names, Hepatica 
acutiloba, DC. becoming Anemone acuta (Pursh) and Trautvetteria 
palmata, F. and M., becoming 7. Caroliniensis (Walt.) 
The Memoir also contains a paper by Mr. Arthur Hollick on 
the Autumn Flora of Southeastern Virginia, a record of a trip 
made in September. Among the more important finds were 
Lespedeza striata, Andromeda nitida, Eleocharis ochreata, and 
Panicum gibbum, all apparently here first reported from the 
state.
