H. laevigatus,T. and G., Verbesina Virginica, L. ; Cacaliasuaveolens, reni- 

 formis, and atriplicifolia; Cnicus Virginianus, anApuniilus, Torr. ; Cicho- 

 riumlntybus, L. ; Tragopogon porrifolius, L. ; Hieracium Canadense, MX., 

 and hngtpiliim, Torr. (extending both); and Chondrilla jtincea, L., called 

 as a weed " Naked-weed, Skeleton-weed." 



The interesting bell-worts are: the white form of Lobelia syphilit- 

 tca, L., and the rare Campanula divaricata, MX. 



Of the rarer heaths Sciiollem erythrocarpa,M.x., grows on the highest 

 peak of the Alleghanies, alt. 4,800 ft.; Chiogenes hispidida at the Falls 

 of Blackwater; Menziesia globularis Salisb. , Clethra acitminata, MX., 

 Moneses grandiflora, SalisL. . and all the Rhododendrons except Rho- 

 dora and Lapponicum; even the rare R. canescens (Mx.), Porter, being 

 found along the Cacapon River. 



Naumbergia thyrsiflora is found in Upshur County and Mohrodendron 

 Carolinum (called Shittim-wood) is plentiful along the Gauly and New 

 Rivers. Polemonium Van-Bruntia, Britt. , comes south to our flora, as 

 well as all the Hydrophyllnms, together with P/iaceliij Purshii, Buck, 

 and parviflora, Pursh. 



The beautiful morning-glories, Impomoea coccinea, hederacea, pur- 

 purea, and pandurata, are all too plentiful as weeds here; and Cuscuta 

 glomerata, Gronovii, and Epithymiim, have been found sparingly. 

 Physalis viscosa, L., steals away from "near the coast" and is found 

 along the Ohio River, keeping company with Lycium vulgare, Dun., 

 and Physalodes Physaloides, Gaertn. 



The notable Scropularias are: Collinsia verna, Nutt. , Chelo ne obti- 

 qua, L., and Pentstem&n Canesctns. Of the mints we have notably: 

 Kcellia verticilata, clinopodioides, pycanthemoides, and Montana. The 

 other mints worthy of remark are: Meehania cordata, Clinopodium 

 vulgar e, Scutellaria saxatilis, serrata, incana, parr u la, and nervosa; 

 Marrubium vulgare, Galeopsis tetrahit, and Stachys paiustris and 

 cor data. 



Of the ten Euphorbias the .most notable are E. Darlinglonii and 

 E. Glyptosperma, var. , pubescens, Engl., the latter not having been 

 previously found east of Iowa as far as we can learn. 



The presence oiQuercus ;/rV//W/a,Wang, in Hardy Co. , extends the 

 Manual distribution southeastward; and the southing of Q. macro- 

 carpa, MX. is also extended by several stations in the State. 



As to the conifers, we have about 470,000 acres of Picea Ma riana, a 

 few representatives of Abies balsamea, Thuya occidentalis, and several 

 species of Pinus, as well as a few scant growths of Taxus Minor. 



Among the sedges the principal item of interest is there-discovery 

 in Fayette County of what was doubtless the original type station of 

 Car ex Eraser i, And.
