As before suggested, the special interest of this region lies in the fact of the 

 meeting of two Horas and the sometimes abrupt but generally gradual transition 

 ot" one into the other. The flora can not be studied eomprehensively except by an 

 extended period of tield work and earefnlly noting all the environmental condi- 

 tions. The farther west one goes into the territory, the more sandy and ileseri 

 the regions become, and such are the variations from some of the more eastern 

 forms, no «loubt the result of a change in habitat, that many are classed as varie- 

 ties. According to Mr. (Viville's suggestions in his " !>otany of Death V.illev 

 Expe<lition." the shrubs and trees and, on the prairies, the perenninln, should 

 especially be noted to determine characteristic plants of the flora.

The re|iresentatives of PhUadelphv.< are i-vident esca|)es, and their inclusion in 

 former lists is doubtless due to the youthful ebullience of the collectors. Both 

 P. inodurus L. and P. graad'ijlonni L. are eastern and southern forms, the fonmer 

 ranging along the mountains from Virginia to Georgia and Alabama, the otiur 

 along streams from Virginia to Florida. Both are of ear.y cultivation and escape 

 readily in favorable localities, but so far as 1 have record have failed to maintain 

 themselves. Until further evidenet' the genus and included forms slu)uld Ik
