H. capitatum Nutt.), and on his labels remarks: ‘‘In eastern 
Georgia covering hundreds of acres of old fields as densely as a 
sowed crop.” This is equally true around Millen. It is also 
more or less abundant along roadsides in the upper part of Bul- 
loch County, where I collected it in flower on the morning of July 
1 (no. 986). The original specimens, collected by Enslen, prob- 
ably came from somewhere in this part of the state. H. rosmar- 
inifolium never has the appearance of a native, but seems to be a 
strictly ruderal plant, and I have never seen it a member of a per- 
fectly natural plant-community. It probably belongs to the con- 
siderable class of native weeds, like Phytolacca decandra, Ambrosia 
artemisiefolia and Eupatorium compositifolium. 
OsmantHus Americana (L.) B. & H. 
This species has hitherto been supposed to be confined to the 
immediate vicinity of the coast. But on July 19 I found it in 
some abundance in dry woods south of Omaha, which is 125 
miles inland and probably about 300 feet above sea-level. Only 
a few of the specimens had fruit on them, however. It also grows 
on the rosemary sandhills in Emanuel County, on the sandy 
banks of the Flint River in Sumter County and of Muckalee and 
Kinchafoonee Creeks in Lee, and in Decatur County near Whig- 
ham, as well as on Tybee Island on the coast. 
It is usually ster- 
ile and therefore likely to be overlooked. 
SABBATIA FOLIOSA Fernald, Bot. Gaz. 33: 155. 21 F 1902 
Collected in the swamp of Big Lott’s Creek, Bulloch County, 
June 27 (no. 964), and on the shore of a small pond in Decatur 
County, August 12 (no. 1196). Both numbers have been exam- 
ined and identified by Mr. Fernald. Seen also at several other 
points in Bulloch, Emanuel, Tattnall, Montgomery, Telfair, 
Dodge, Wilcox, Dooly, Thomas and Decatur counties. Mr. 
Fernald cites specimens of this species only from South Carolina 
and Florida. It seems to occur also in Alabama, for Dr. Mohr’s 
specimens from Vinegar Bend, Washington County, mentioned in 
his Plant Life of Alabama as S. dodecandra, are good S. foliosa. 
Much of the southern material which has passed as S. dodecandra 
will probably turn out to be the latter species. Mr. “Fernald in-
