DIDYNAMIA ANGIOSPERMIA 



I have introduced this plant, thouf^h not collected strictly within the li- 

 mits of Georgia, on account of its close atTmity to the R. hybrida of Piirsh 

 which Mr. Nuttall rejects as a var. of R. oblongifoHa. To that plaiit 

 however this species has no affinit}-. 



Grows near the Alabama River in dry soils. 



Flowers probably through the summer. Found in flower at the cora- 



mencement of October.
