Euruorsia HUMISTRATA Engelm.; A. Gray, Man. Ed. 2. 386. 1856. 
The known geographic ranges of the above species has lately 
been greatly extended southward by collections from Mississippt 
Professors. Tracy and Earle found it on Horn Island (2886) 
and at Biloxi (2913). 
The name Gavesza cannot be applied to the Acanthaceous genus 
of the southern United States, with which it has lately been asso- 
ciated, having previously been used for an entirely different plant. 
I take pleasure in using in this connection the name of Prof. W. 
S. Yeates, State Geologist of Georgia, for while on his survey I 
first met this rare and peculiar species along the Flint river, 1m 
southwestern Georgia. Previously it had not been known to 0c 
cur east of Alabama.

Viburnum prunifolium is said to grow as far south as Missis- 
sippi and Florida, but during all my travels in the Southeast I have 
not met with the species. Viburnum rufotomentosum seems to te- 
place our common plum-leaved Visurnum in the Southern States.
