Harper : Flora of Middle Georgia 333 



probably in the identical locality from which Mr. Green secured 

 his specimens, there can no longer be any doubt as to the identity 

 of Elliott's plant. 



Sisyrinchium Carolinianum Bicknell, Bull. Torn Club, 26: 221. 



My. 1899 



Common in dry soil, Clarke Co. My specimens, collected 

 near the Middle Oconee River, April, 1897, have been identified by 

 Mr. Bicknell. 



Cypripedium parviflorum Sal. Trans. Linn. Soc. 1 : yy. 1791 



Collected in dry woods near Middle Oconee River at Tallasee 

 Shoals, May 4-7, 1897. Altitude about 725 feet. This seems to 

 be about 100 miles farther south than any previously known station 

 for this species. 



Tipularia uniflora (Muhl.) B.S.R Prel. Cat. N. Y. 51. 1888 



I have found the evergreen winter leaves and dead flowering 

 stems of this rare and curious orchid in rich woods at four or five 

 stations in Athens. 



Castanea dentata (Marsh) Borkh. Handb. Forstb. 1 : 741. 1800 



In rich woods, Athens, altitude 650 ft. Trees rather few and 

 small, and fruiting sparingly. Is the southern limit of this species 

 moving northward? Bartram (Travels, p. 36) mentions " Fagus 

 castanea" as one of the trees observed in the vicinity of Wrights- 

 borough, Ga. (now in McDuffie Co.), in 1773, and Chapman (Fl. 

 S. States, ed. I, 424. i860) gives its range as u West Florida and 

 northward " (perhaps an error), but it is now generally supposed 

 to be confined to the mountains and northern states. 



Pvrularia pubera Mx. FL Bor. Am. 2 : 233. 1803 



About 15 or 20 individuals in an area of a few square rods in 

 rich shady woods, Athens. Altitude 650 ft. This is near the 

 southern limit of this species. It flowers in April, but formed no 

 fruit in the two seasons in which I observed it, and seems likely to 

 become extinct in this locality. The flowers although apparently 

 perfect all fall off a few days after expanding. 



Chenopodium Boscianum Moq. Enum. Chenop. 21. 1840 

 In October, 1896, I collected this plant in dry open woods on
