made last summer. The following plants are described as new: 
Thalictrum macrostylum (T. Cornuti, var. macrostylum, Shuttlw., 
in dist. of Rugel’s plants), and Smilax rotundifolia, vat. crenula-

and Asarum Virginicum, var. grandiflorum, Michx., on Wilson's 
creek. In addition to these the following are apparently here 
first reported from south of Virginia: Thalictrum purpurascems 
Papaver somniferum, Arenaria Grenlandica, Viburnum cassin- 
oides, Lonicera Japonica, Osmorhiza longistylis, Ligustrum oul-
