256 PROCEEDINGS OF THE ACADEMY OF [DeC, 



the Coastal Plain in river- valleys, reaching Florida, probably near 

 the Apalachicola River. Ranges from Newfoundland to Manitoba, 

 south to northern Florida, and Kansas. 



Flowering in late September and October, fruiting probably in 

 October and November. Corolla cream-white, more or less pink- 

 tinged within posterior lip, on anterior lobes, and laterally along 

 anterior lip; occasionally entirely pink. 



The forma tomentosa (Raf.) Pennell (in Torreya 19: 117. 1919), 

 with leaves tomentose or pubescent beneath, is to be looked for in 

 our area. 



3. Chelone lyonii Pursh. 



Chelone lyonii Pursh, Fl. Amer. Sept. 2: 737. 1814. ''In Upper Carolina 

 and Georgia. Lyon. . . . v. s. in Herb. Lambert." 



Chelone major Sims, Bot. Mag. 44: pi. 1864. 1816. "Introduced by the 

 late Mr. Lyons, from Carolina. . . . Communicated by Mr. Lam- 

 bert, from Boyton, . . ." Obviously of the same origin as C. lyonii 

 Pursh, and with a distinctive illustration. 



Chelone latifolia Muhl.; Ell., Sketch Bot. S. C. and Ga. 2: 127. 1822. "This 

 plant . . . was discovered ... by Mr. Lyon along the base 

 of the mountains of Carohna, but principally in Burke County, N. C." 

 Description obviously of the species now considered. Described as 

 having ovate leaf-blades, tapering at base, in contrast to the cordate 

 blades of C. lyonii Pursh. This species shows complete gradation in 

 leaf-form between these two states. 



Moist mountain-woodland, eastern Appalachians, North Carolina 

 and Tennessee, said to occur southward to northeastern Alabama.* 



Flowering from mid-July to mid-September, fruiting in September 

 and October. Not seen growing.
