26 BOTANICAL BULLETIN. 



Some notes fkom Wytheville, Virginia. — I wish to oorrect a niisappreheii- 

 slon of many botanists in reference to this part of Virginia. My remarks, howev- 

 er, apply almost exi'lu^ively to the immediate vicinity of Wytheville. Situated on 

 the Alleo'liaiiy rhitcau, half a mile above sea level, our flora is referable naturally 

 to a higher latitude. Our plants, therefore, are not southern, their interest being 

 derived from their mountain, not their southern pecularities. Without further 

 lemark I append a few notes on plants of some interest.
