The nomenclature of the article is that of Britton and Brown's Illus- 

 trated Flora of the Northern States and Canada, the names in parenthesis 

 being those used by Chapman in his Flora of the Southern LTnited States, 

 edition of 1872. 



While Dr. Gattinger has done excellent work in the collation of the 

 flora of Tennessee, there remains in the southeastern counties, especially 

 in the deeper coves, large areas that as yet are practically botanically 

 unknown. The remoteness of these regions from ordinary lines of travel, 

 and the unprogressive character of the inhabitants, have joined to keep 

 this area in a nearly virginal state. No collecting tour could be more 

 profitable botanically than one throiigh the coves and mountain ravines 

 between the Great Smoky and Chilhowee Mountains.
