iands is the proportionate breadth of the leaves, these being wider 
in the plants from the higher altitudes. 
PHACELIA HIRSUTA Nutt. Trans. Am. Phil. Soc. (II.) 5: 191. 
1833-37. 
Although classed as an annual, this Phacelia appears to bea 
biennial. Mr. Nuttall, in the original description, says “annual or 
perhaps also biennial.’’ On Stone Mountain, Georgia, the species 
flowers in the spring, the plants soon die and disappear on ac- 
count of the extreme heat, the seeds falling to the ground at once 
germinate, producing tufts of spatulate, oblong-spatulate or obo- 
vate, short-petioled, sharply serrate leaves which are not in the 
least pinnatifid, as are those of the following season. 
Vitex Acnus-castus L. Sp. Pl. 637. 1753. 
This shrub is fast becoming naturalized in the Southern States. 
Miss K. S. Taylor found it about Columbia, South Carolina, in 
1891, and I collected it in 1895 at both Darien and near Fort Bar- 
rington, in southeastern Georgia. 
Cestrum Pargu L’Her. Stirp. Nov. 73. 1783-84. 
We have no record of the occurrence of this species on our 
eastern sea-board, but it is now doubtless established at many 
places in the Southern States. In 1895 I found quantities in and 
about Darien, Georgia. 
LEONOTIS NEPETAEFOLIA Ait. Hort. Kew. Ed. 2, 3: 409. I8II. 
Dr. Chapman reports this introduced plant from Georgia and 
Florida. We now have excellent specimens collected by Prof. 
Underwood at Auburn, Lee County, Alabama. 
FILAGO NIVEA. 
Evax multicaulis DC. Prodr. 5: 459. 1836. Not Filage 
multicaulis Lam. 1778. . 
This is one of the Compositae belonging west of the Missis- 
sippi River that has been traveling gradually eastward; in 1895 I 
found it very plentiful about Stone Mountain, Georgia.
