broadly spreading, were collected. Stylosanthes biflora was 
conspicuous, not only for the luxuriance of the plants, but the 
handsome flowers, larger than anything I had beforeseen. Along 
with Azbiscus Moscheutus, Kosteletzkya Virginica occurred not 
rarely. It is a much more slender and more branching plant. 
The former grew over large areas and was note-worthy for pos- 
sessing a much lighter color than our northern species. Rosacez 
yielded two plants of very unusual interest. A small Agrimonia, 
abundant in grassy spots under pine trees, was markedly dif- 
ferent from any form which I had ever seen. Very slender, with 
not more than two or three leaves, these almost invariably pos- 
sessing only three leaflets, which are rounded, coarsely dentate, 
much whitened underneath and almost wanting in any secondary 
leaflets, makes it appear almost distinct from the 4A. Eupatoria. 
It is to be further studied. Scarcely less interesting was the sand 
blackberry of the region, growing commonly and producing an 
abundance of delicious fruit.. Instead of small, cuneiform leaflets, 
it produced them from one to two inches in length and elliptical 
in form. Both species of Dzodia were abundant, the flowers of 
D. Virginica, unlike those of D. teres, being showy, white and 
wax-like, and making the plant decidedly beautiful. _Compositz 
furnished a number of species unknown to us here, among. 
them being Verbesina Siegesbeckit, Cacalia atriplicifolia, Elephan- 
topus Carolinianus, Polymnia Uvedalia, both species of Pluchea 
and Pyrrhopappus Carolinianus. The latter was strikingly similar 
in its general aspect to the P. Rothrockit which I have collected 
upon the Rio Grande. Never have I found Solidago odora so 
odorous as here. One of the most interesting plants collected 
was a peculiar form of Eryngium Virginianum which grew along 
with the typical form. Instead of having its flowers and divisions 
of the umbel sessile, they possessed elongated stalks, giving the 
head the appearance of a loose and pretty little umbel. Not 
less interesting was a Lodelia, a single specimen of which was 
collected, growing remote from any other plant of the genus. 
It is not much like any described species, coming perhaps 
nearest to L. puberula. Its corollas, however, are much longer, 
of a different form, and its calyx much broader and stouter 
so densely white-hispid as to give it the appearance of being
