BOTANICAL ADDENDA FOR 1879 AND 1880. 



REPORTED BY J. H. CARRUTH. 



In my report for 1876 are a few errors which I wish to correct: 



Buchnera elongata is not a distinct species, but a synonym of B. Americana. 



Physalis viscosa is perennial ; and P. pubescens, annual. 



Betula lenta should be B. nigra Ait. Red birch. 



A Sabbatia between S. gracilis and iS. stellaris proves to be S. campestris. 



Carex alveoluteus should be C. albolutescens. 



In the report for 1877 and 1878 Gonolobus obliquus should be G. Iwvis or 

 macrophyllus Mx. 



In 1879 I tramped three or four mouths in Miami, Linn, Cherokee, and 

 Labette counties, returning through the second tier. In giving the results 

 of my observations there or elsewhere, I shall refer to the counties. When 

 I do not recollect, I shall put S. E. K. for southeastern Kansas. In report- 

 ing plants sent by others I shall give their residences. When I have not 

 seen the plants, I shall give the names of those reporting them.
