Mx., and loiigipiluin, Terr, (extending- both) ; and Chondrilla 

 juncea, L., called, as a weed, "Naked-weed, Skeleton-weed." 



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

 syphilitica, L., and the rare Campanula divaricata, AIx. 



Of the rarer heaths Schollcra crythrocarpa, Mx., grows on 

 the highest peak of the Alleghanies, alt. 4,800 ft. ; Chiogenes 

 his/^idiila at the Falls of Blackwater ; Mcnzicsia globularis Salisb., 

 Clcfhra acuminata, Mx., Moncscs grandiHora, Salisb., and all 

 tJic Rhododendrons except Rhodora and Lapponicum; even the 

 rare R. cancsccns (]\Lx.), Porter, being found along the Cacapon 

 River. 



Naiimbergia tJiyrsiflora is found in Upshur Countv and 

 Mohrodendron Carolinum (called Shittim-wood) is plentiful 

 along the Gauley and Xew Rivers. Polemonium Van-Bruntiae_ 

 Britt., comes south to our flora, as well as all the Hydrophyllums, 

 together with Pliacclia Pursliii, Buck, and parvifloya, Pursh. 



The beautiful morning-glories, Impomoea coccinea, liedera- 

 cea, purpurea, and pandurata, are all too plentiful as weeds here; 

 and Cuscuta glomerata, Gronovii and Epithymuin. have been 

 found sparingl)-. Physalis viscosa, L.. steals away from "near 

 the coast" and is found along the Ohio River, keeping company 

 with Lycium vulgarc, Dun., and Physalodes Physaloides; Gaertn. 



The notable Scropliularias are : CoUinsia vcrna, Xutt., Chelone 

 obliqua, L., and Pcntstemon cancscens. Of the mints we have

 Stachys palustris and cordata. 



Of the ten Euphorbias the most notable are E. Darlingtonii 

 and E. Glyptospcrma, var., pubescens, Engl., the latter not having 

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



The presence of Quercus ilicifolia, Wang, in Hardy County, 

 extends the Manual distribution southeastward ; and the southing 

 of 0. macrocarpa, AIx. is also extended by several stations in the 

 State. 



As to the conifers, we have about 270,000 acres of Picea 

 Mariana, a few representatives of Abies balsamea. Thuya occi-
