The species is evidently locally distributed, but, will doubtless 
be found at new stations as the States of Georgia and South Caro- 
lina are better explored.

123 (1894). 
Mr. Bicknell recently brought me specimens of a Veburnum, 
from Nashville, Tennessee, saying that it was very different from 
anything he has previously observed and that no allowance was 
made for it in our manuals. It is typical V. ferrugineum, whose 
excellent characters I have pointed out in another place.* At 
Nashville it grows in the rocky banks of the Cumberland River 
in localities similar to the one on the Pinnacle at Cumberland a 
Gap, where I rediscovered the species two yearsago. Lastseasom I 
also found many fine trees of this species in the bottom of a rocky 
cafion along the Yellow River, in Middle Georgia. The specimens 
from the latter locality, as well as Mr. Bicknell’s, are identical with 
those from Cumberland Gap, in the Cumberland Mountains. The 
discoveries at Nashville and in Georgia do not increase the geo- : 
graphical range, but serve to show that the species is probably not: 7 
scarce in the Southern States, but has simply been unobserved. : 
All our Eastern specimens are very constant as to characters and 
habitat, the greatest variation being in the specimens from * 
Southwest. In these the leaves are smaller, more coriaceous an 
the tomentum on the petiole is more abundant.

This species was first found in the Southern States during th 
summer of 1891, throughout the mountains of Western N 
Carolina. During the last season I encountered it first at T* sy 
lulah Falls, where it grows in the bottom of the deep cafion, a” 
later along brooks throughout the mountains between the Tallulah 
River and the source of the Tennessee River, in Northern 
Georgia. It is the prevailing Viéurnum in that region.
