Notes on plants of the southern United States — -III 



Fran'cis \V. Pennell 



As with preceding issues this paper divides itself into two 

 portions. One consists of short notes based upon the writer's 

 field work of 1912 and 1913, recording mostly plants believed new 

 to their respective states. The other and larger portion consists 

 of a revision of the genus Chamaecrista in the United States, and 

 for this have been reviewed, besides his own collections, all the 

 material in several of our leading herbaria. In both parts symbols 

 are used; > to indicate in flower; <, in fruit. 



MISCELLANEOUS SPECIES 

 Aristolochia longiflora Engelm. &. Gray 



Not "A. longifolia," as it appears in Coulter, Botany of Western 

 Texas (Contr. U. S, Nat. Herb. 2), and in Small, Flora of the 

 Southeastern United States. Collected near its original station, 

 on dry black loam, Edwards Plateau, northwest of New Braunfels, 

 Comal County, Texas, September 14, 191 3, 5435. 



ACTAEA ALBA (L.) Mill. 



Deciduous woodland, Catalpa, West Feliciana Parish, Louisi- 

 ana, August 22, 1912, 43og. With a large number of northern 

 species, such as Aspleniiim pycnocarpon Spreng., this reaches its 

 southern limit in the loess hills east of the Mississippi River in 

 Louisiana. 



Cracca ambigua (M. a. Curtis) Kuntze 

 Open long-leaf pine-land, one to two miles north of Abita 

 Springs, St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana, > August 12, igi2, 4136. 



Cracca angustifolia (Featherman) Pennell, comb. nov. 



Tephrosia angustifolia Featherman, Bot. Rep. Louisiana 73. 1871. 

 " Habitat. ^ — Pine barrens near Pontchatoula [Louisiana]." 

 From inquiry at Baton Rouge it seems probable that Featherman's 

 type is not in existence.
