Teucrium Nashii Kearney, Bull. Torn Club, 21: 483. 1894. 

 Mr. A. H. Curtiss has added another station for Teucrium 

 Nashii. The specimens are from near Jacksonville, Florida, and 

 are numbered 5040- 



LoNicERA Japonica Thunb. FL Jap. 89. 1784. 

 In a former note * I have spoken of the abundance of this 

 foreign plant in certain localities. Mr. A. H. Curtiss now sends 

 it from Florida ( number 4690) saying, " In moist thickets where 

 this gets a foothold it grows and fruits more freely than does L. 

 semperoirens on dry land. I do not know that either grow from 

 seed." I may add that it has become a very troublesome weed 

 in many parts of the country. 



II. New Species. 



ViCIA HUGERI. 



Annual, very slender, bright green, minutely and sparsely pu- 

 bescent, or glabrate in age. Stems ascending, decumbent or re- 

 clining, solitary or several together, 3-7 dm. long, wire-like, more 

 or less angled, sometimes branched above, rarely branched below ; 

 leaves 4-8 cm. long, the tendril simple or forked ; leaflets usually 

 10-12, linear, 2-3.5 cm. long, mucronulate, straight or slightly 

 curved, short-petioled ; peduncles 5-8 cm. long, ascending; 

 flowers white or sometimes pinkish, 10-14 in secund racemes, 

 small; pedicels 1.5-2 mm. long; calyx campanulate, 1.5 mm. long, 

 the teeth triangular, X"/^ ^^ ^°"S ^^ ^'^^ twh&, acute ; corolla 

 about 5 mm. long; pods linear-oblong, 2 cm. long. 



In open woods, Georgia and Alabama. March to May. 



Lately several specimens of this peculiar species of Vicia have 

 reached me from different points in the Southern States. The 

 plant first came to my notice on the slopes of Stone Mountain, 

 Georgia, in 1895. The species stands between Vicia Caroliniana 

 and V. micrautha, possessing the general habit of the latter and the 

 inflorescence of the former. 



From Vicia mica^itha it differs in its elongated many-flowered 

 racemes, longer peduncles and glabrous or glabrate calyx with 

 the segments as broad as long or broader, while from Vicia Caro- 

 liniana it can easily be distinguished by its more slender habit,
