Breiveria Jmmistrata and B, aquatica, I have some spec- 

 imens of Breweria from Grand Prairie, Arkansas, that com- 

 bine the characters of the above species. They have the mucro- 

 nate leaves and 1-7 flowered peduncles of the former, and the 

 hairy calyx^ short leaves (i^ loi^g) ^^^d glabrous filiments of the 

 latter. Our specimens were collected in moist ground at 

 DuVall's Bluffs. With these intermediate specimens before mc I

am inclined to think that the above species are only upland and 

 lowland forms of the same thing. We believe Brezva^ia has not 

 been before reported from Arkansas.

Stellaria pubcra. This plant is not very common in southern 

 or middle Georgia; at least I have never found it except in one 

 place ; a wooded hillside near the city. There, in connection with 

 the ordinary form having petals so deeply cleft that their narrow, 

 spreading lobes appear like separate petals, occurs a variety that 

 differs conspicuously \\\ the shape of the organs. The petals are 

 cleft not more than half their length, with the lobes convergent, 

 the two forms presenting on a larger scale much the same differ- 

 ence in appearance that one observes between the corollas of 

 Stellaria media and Cerastiuni vidgattim. Examination, how- 

 ever, revealed no specific difference between the two forms, the 

 variation confining itself entirely to the shape of the petals. The 

 two forms grow together side by side^ under the same conditions, 

 the typical form, with the deeply cleft petals, being the more 

 abundant. Both bloom at the same time — March, and the early 



part of April.
