I. Noteworthy Species. 



Tradescantia MONTANA Shuttl.; Britton, in Britton & Brown, 111. 



Fl. i: m. fig. 911. 1896. 

 Mr. C. D. Beadle has distributed specimens of this Alleghenian 

 Tradescantia from the Biltmore Herbarium, which match the 

 original specimens of Rugel more closely than any others that 

 I have seen. The plants from Biltmore are somewhat larger and 

 more advanced than the specimens on which the species was 

 founded but come from the same general region. The original 

 specimens are accompanied by the following record: " In pre-

 distribution for the species, but notes the " exact distribution not 

 well made out." I can now record two definite southern stations : 

 the first. Stone Mountain, Georgia, where I collected the plant at 

 an altitude of about 550 meters, in 1895, and Auburn, Alabama, 

 where Prof. Underwood gathered specimens in 1896.
