H. lacvigatuSjT. andG., Verbcsina Virginica, L. ; Caca/ia suaveoletis, reni- 

 for mis, dind airiplicifo/ia; Ctiiciis Virginianus, a.nd p inn ilus, Terr.; Cicho- 

 )-ium Intybiis, \^.;Tragopogon potyifo/i/ts,!^.; Hieraciinn Canadense, Mx., 

 and longipiliun, Torr. (extending both); and Chondrilla jiincca, L., called 

 as a weed "Naked-weed, Skeleton-weed." 



The interesting bell-worts are: the white form of Lobelia syphilit- 

 ica, L., and the rare Cat/pani/la divaricata, Mx. 



Of the rarer heaths Schollera eryt/i/oca?pa,'^lx., grows on the highest 

 peak of the Alleghanies, alt. 4,80c ft. ; Chiogeties hispidula at the Falls 

 of Blackwater; Menzicsia globularis Salisb., Clethra acuminata, Mx., 

 Monescs grandiflora, SalisL. . and all the Rhododendrons except Rho- 

 dora and Lapponiciim; even the rare R. canescens (Mx.), Porter, being 

 found along the Cacapon River. 



JVaicmbergia thyrsiflora is found in Upshur County and Mohrodendroti 

 Carolinitm (called' Shittim-wood) is plentiful along the Gauly and New 

 Rivers. Polemotiiiim Van-Brunt icr, Britt., comes south to our flora, as 

 well as all the HydropJiyllums, together with PJiacelia Fursliii, Buck, 

 and pa rvi flora, Pursh. 



The beautiful morning-glories, Impomoea coccinea. hedcracea, pur- 

 purea, a.nd pandurata, are all too plentiful as weeds here; and Cuscuta 

 glomerata, Gronovii, and Epithymum, have been found sparingly. 

 Physalis viscosa, L. , steals away from "near the coast" and is found 

 along the Ohio River, keeping company with Lycium vulgare. Dun., 

 and Physalodcs Physaloides, Gaertn. 



'Y\\e. noXdihlo. Scropularias ■as^: Colli nsia vcrna, Nutt. , Cheloie obli- 

 qua, L., and Pcntstcmon Canesctns. Of the mints we have notably: 

 Kcellia verticilata, clinopodioides, pycanthemoides, and Montana. The 

 other mints worthy of remark are: Meeliania cor data, Clinopodium 

 vulgare, Scutellaria saxatilis, serrata, incana, parvula, and nervosa; 

 Marrubium vulgare, Galeopsis tetrahit, and Stachxs palustris and 

 cor data. 



Of the ten Euphorbias the most notable are E.^Darlinglonii z.vl^ 

 E. Glyptosperma, var., pubescens, Engl., the latter not having been 

 previously found east of Iowa as far as we can learn. 



The presence oiQuercus ilicifolia,Wdi-ag, in Hard}' Co., extends the 

 Manual distribution soutlieastward; and the southing of Q. macro- 

 carpa, Mx. is also extended by several stations in the State. 



As to the conifers, we have about ^^0,000 B.cxes oi Picea Maria?ia,a. 

 few representatives of Abies balsamea. Thuya occidentalis, and several 

 species of Pinus, as well as a few scant growths of Taxus Minor. 



Among the sedges the principal item of interest is there-discovery 

 in Fayette County of what was doubtless the original type station o£ 

 Car ex Eraser i. And.
