‘most robust species of Oxalis, from the Biltmore herbarium, col- 
lected in thickets at Biltmore, North Carolina. This collection 
extends the geographic range of the species somewhat further 
southward than was heretofore known. 
OxaALIs RECURVA Ell. Bot. S. C. & Ga. 1: 526. 1821. 
As the exploration of the Southern States progresses, Elliott's 
beautiful and delicate recurved-styled O-ralis is being found at 
various points. Mr. Beadle has sent me ample specimens, show- 
ing the extensive rootstock system, and the first specimens gath- 
ered bearing mature fruit. The species grows in woodlands at 
Biltmore. 
HepDeERA HELix L. Sp, Pl. 202. 1753. 
The common European ivy must be admitted to the flora of 
the Southern States as an introduced species. It is frequent about 
old dwellings and similar places and I have found it perfectly natu- 
ralized on the steep, rocky banks of the Ocmulgee River, above 
Macon, Georgia, where it has escaped from a cemetery higher up 
on the hill. 
‘ LIMONIUM AuGUsTATUM (A. Gray). 
Statice Brasilense var. augustata A, Gray, Syn. Fl. 2: part I, 
54. 1878. . 
_ Perennial, slender, acaulescent; leaves basal, few, the blades 
linear, 4-7 cm. long, cuspidate, I-nerved, narrowed into petioles 
which are somewhat shorter than the blades, their bases dilated ; 
scapes erect, about 3 dm. tall, with several scale-like clasping 
bracts, sparingly branched above; bracts subtending the flowers 
broadly oblong, 4 mm. long, acute; calyx about 5 mm. long, the 
tube glabrous, the 5 teeth ovate, the connecting membranes 
eroded. 
In salt marshes, Pine Key, Florida. 
The best treatment of our North American Zimonia that has 
thus far appeared is that by Dr. Gray in his Synoptical Flora, 2: 
Part 1,54; but one distinct species was there admitted as a 
variety and one was overlooked. (See page 491.) 
The plant just described is apparently rare and I call attention 
to it hoping that some of the botanists of southern Florida may 
be able to find it and collect specimens. Heretofore it has been 
made a variety of Limontum Brasiliense (Boiss.) (Statice Brasiliensts
