Hypericum dolabriforme Vent. 



The known range of this species was extended southward into 

 Georgia by my discovery of it on flat exposed limestone rocks at 

 the eastern base of Pigeon Mountain, August 3 (no. 359), about 50 

 feet lower than the Berchemia just mentioned. Previously known 

 only from Kentucky and Tennessee. 



The prevailing tree in the vicinity of my locality vias, Juniperus 

 Virgmiana, which I never saw in such abundance elsewhere in the 

 state ; so this may be an extension of the " cedar-glades " of 

 Tennessee, in which Dr. Gattinger finds several other interesting 

 species of Hypericum. Mr. T. H. Kearney, Jr., who has collected 

 H. dolabriforme in Tennessee, informs me that he has always 

 found it in these cedar-glades. 



" Viola denticulosa Pollard, sp. nov.* 



Acaulescent, 1-2 dm. in height at the flowering season, becom- 

 m S 3-4 dm. tall in late summer, producing filiform stolons often 

 fully this length : leaves ligulate-lanceolate, the blades equalling 

 or surpassing the petiole, strongly decurrent, acute at apex, the 

 margin from evenly and finely denticulate to subentire, the upper 

 surface sparsely hirsute with slender bristly hairs : scapes mostly 

 shorter than the foliage : flowers white, nearly or quite 2 cm. in 

 diameter, the keel petal alone veined with dark purple or black : 

 sepals lanceolate, scarious-margined, distinctly auriculate at base, 

 about half the length of the petals : capsules angled or prismatic : 

 cleistogamous flowers borne on erect scapes. 



The plant is a southern ally of V. lanceolata, bearing some- 

 what the same relation to that species as V. primuLnfolia australis 

 does to V. primulaefolia. The unusual stature of the plant, its 

 peculiar pubescence, denticulate leaves, which are most noticeable 

 in the older specimens, and the comparatively large sepals and 

 petals are the most distinctive diagnostic characters. 



For the above description I am indebted to Mr. Charles Louis 

 Pollard, of the U. S. National Herbarium. The specimens on 

 which the description is based are deposited in the National Her- 

 barium. 



This species grows in wet woods among the pine barrens in 

 and near Douglas, Coffee county, where I collected the autumnal 

 stoloniferous and fruiting specimens on September 26 (no. 724).
