New or otherwise interesting Plants of Eastern Tennessee. 
By T. H. KEARNEY, JR. 
The following notes relate, for the most part, to a collection 
made by the writer during August and September, 1897, in Cocke 
county, Tennessee. Most of the material was collected about 
Wolf Creek Station, and between that point and Lemon’s Gap, as 
well as along the French Broad between Paint Rock and Del Rio. 
The highest elevations visited were The Bluff and Max Patch 
Mountains, both about 1400 m. high. Along the French Broad 
near Wolf Creek the height above sea-level is probably not much 
over 600 M. 
TRADESCANTIA MONTANA Shuttlw.; Britton & Brown, Ill. Fl. 1: 
377. 1896. : 
Common about Wolf Creek, and the only species observed 
there. Two well-marked forms were noted, both growing on 
rather fertile soil in open, hillside woods. In one the stems are 
several from one root, slender, rather flexuous (but not strongly 
zigzag as is usually the case in 7: pilosa), about 3 dm. high, and 
the largest leaves are 15 cm. long and about I cm. wide. In the 
other form the stems are usually solitary, stout, not flexuous, 
attaining a maximum height of 9 dm., and the largest leaves 
measure 25 cm. long and 2 cm. wide. 
DISPoRUM sp. 
Fruiting specimens of a Disporum were collected near Wolf 
Creek Station (no. 917) but whether of D. maculatum (Buckl.) 
Britton or of D. danuginosum (Michx.) Nichols., I am unable to — 
decide. Distinct as the two species are when in flower, I can no- 
where find any characters given for differentiating them when in 
fruit. Careful study of the two species in the field, localities for 
each having first been accurately marked while the plants are in 
flower, may bring to light characters that will serve to distinguish 
them later in the season. 
CELTIS PUMILA Pursh, Fl. Am. Sept. 200. 1814. 
Grows on dry sandstone cliffs along the French Broad River.
