Rhus Toxicodendron L. (R. quercifolia (Michx.) Steud. 

 This is given in Ajres and Ashe's list of Appalachian 

 shrubs, but Curtis gives it only "From the coast to the 

 lower part of the Upper District," and Small says: 

 "In pine woods and the foot hills."

Celastraceae (Staff Tree Family) : 



Euonymus atropurpureus Jacq. This is one of the 

 rarest plants in ISJ'orth Carolina and is known in col- 

 lections only from Chapel Hill. It is given in Ayres 

 and Ashe's list of Appalachian shrubs, but probably 

 without exact data, as Mr. Ashe informs me that he 

 has not seen it. Mr. F. E. Boynton, of Biltmore, 

 writes me that he once saw it near Hewits Station, 

 Swain County. 



Euonymus americanus L.

 minger's list of Henderson County plants. Gray's 

 Manual gives it only from W. Ontario to Pa., Ky., 

 111. Small's Flora from Ontario to Penn., 111. and 

 Tenn. The Biltmore jSTursery staif have grown what 

 they took to be this species from Craggy Mountains.

 Korth Carolina and Virginia; Gray's Manual from 

 Virginia and West Virginia.
