332 Harper: Flora of Middle Georgia 



Of the genus Trade scantia, as revised by Dr. J. K. Small,* I 

 have collected the three following species in Clarke Co.: 



T. reflexa Raf. New Fl. N. A. 2 : 87. 1836 



In dry woods, Athens, flowering in May. This seems to be 

 one of its easternmost known stations. 



T. hirsuticaulis Small, /. c, 233 



Dr. Small cites three stations for this species, and I can now 

 add a fourth and northernmost, viz : Athens, where I collected it 

 in dry fields near the Oconee River in 1895, 1896 and 1897. It 

 flowers there in April. About half of the specimens observed 

 have pink-purple petals, while the rest have bright blue ones like 

 most other species of the genus. There seem to be none with 

 intermediate colors, and the two forms make a pleasing contrast 

 when growing side by side. 



T. Montana Shuttl.; Britton, 111. Fl. I : 377. 1896 



In rich woods, Athens, flowering in May. Altitude about 650 

 ft. This station is farther south and at a lower altitude than any 

 previously known. 



Juncoides pilosum (L.) Kuntze, Rev. Gen. PI. 725. 1891 



In rich shady woods, Athens ; with /. campestre, and flowering 

 at the same time (March and April). Altitude about 650 ft. 



Uvularia sessilifolia L. Sp. PL 305. 1753 



Alluvial soil on banks of Middle Oconee River, between Tal- 

 lasee Shoals and Princeton. Altitudes 600-650 ft. This is near 

 its southern limit. 



Uvularia puberula Mx. Fl. Bor. Am. 1 : 199. 1803 



In rich woods in Athens and near Bobbin Mill Creek, altitudes 

 610-650 ft. This species has not been reported from so far south 

 by recent authors, but Elliott (Bot. S. C. & Ga. I : 391) describes 

 a Uvularia " from specimens sent * * * from Athens, by Mr. 

 Green," and asks " Do they belong to this species ? M His uncer- 

 tainty is probably due to immature material. The description ap- 

 plies very well to the flowering state of U. puberula, and as I have 

 collected this species in fruit also, with leaves fully expanded, 



*Bull. Torr. Club, 24: 22S-236, May 29, 1897.
