The specimen of this plant which Dr, Baldwin sent me from St- Ma- 

 ry's under the name of Prenanthes Puraila, is too imperfect to enable me 

 to speak of it with much confidence- It appears to me questionable, l^ow- 

 everj whether it belongs to this genus. 



It grows in the pine barrens round St. Mary's, Georgia.
