 I. NOTEWORTHY SPECIES 



Habenaria Garreri Porter, Bot. Gaz. 5: 135. 1880 

 The original and second known stations for this interesting 

 orchid are both near Manatee, Florida. A second locality can 

 now be placed on record ; this is Orange County, Florida, where 

 Mr. F. L. Lewton discov^ered the species at several stations in 

 the summer of 1894. His specimens are essentially the same as 

 the type. 



Habenaria macroceratitis Willd. Sp. PI. 4 : 44. 1805 

 This remarkable tropical Habcfiaria has been found native in 

 Florida, by Mr. Lewton. It is not rare in Sumter County, where 

 he first met with it in 1 894. 



Thermopsis mollis (Michx.) AI. A. Curtis, Mem. Am. Acad. II. 



3: 47. //. g. 1848 

 Heretofore this comparatively rare species has been reported 

 as growing in the mountains of Virginia and North Carolina. 

 But its range is wider than this; in May, 1869, Mr. Canby col- 

 lected it on Lookout Mountain, Tennessee, and on May 21, 1890, 

 Professor Scribner rediscovered it at the same locality. 



Pluchea imbricata (Kearney) Nash, Bull. Torr. Club, 23: 108. 



1896 

 Excellent specimens of this PhicJiea were collected in swamps 

 about Forest City, Orange County, Florida, by Mr. F. L. Lewton 

 in July, 1893. 'T^^ specimens of this collection agree almost 

 perfectly with the type. 



Hieracium Scribneri Small, Bull. Torr. Club, 21 : 20. 1894 

 Professor Ruth has sent me almost typical specimens of this 

 rare member of Hieracium from near Knoxville, Tennessee, where 

 he collected the plant in 1897.
