SOME NEW AND ADDITIONAL RECORDS OX THE 

 FLORA OF WEST VIRGINIA. 



BY CHARLES L. POLLARD AND WILLIAM R. MAXON*. 



In the latter part of August, 1899, the writers spent four days 

 in south central West Yirgiuia, nuiking collections of plants at 

 Quinnimont, Fayette Co., and at Lowell, Summers Co., both on 

 the line of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad. In view of the 

 extensive additions to the known flora of the state recently pub- 

 lished by Mr. E. L. Morrisf, supplementing Millspaugh and 

 Nuttall's "Flora of West Virginia;]:," it is quite significant of 

 the work yet to be done that out of the total of 12.5 numbers of 

 our collection 30 should be new to the state, — the majority 

 being cryptogamous plants. 



For tiie determination of the fungi we are indebted to Mrs. 

 Flora W. Patterson; for that of the lichens to the late Thomas 

 A. Williams; of the hepaticae to Dr. Marshall A. Howe; and 

 of the mosses, with one exception, to ]\Irs. E. (4. Britton. The 

 names of species new to the flora are printed in bold-face type; 

 those representing merely additional records, in small capitals.
