rect; *'3, ochroleuca, FroeL, {Saponaria, Mx.)," — which maybe 

 G. ochroleuca^ Froel., and *'4, alba'' which points most likely to 

 G. Andrewsii, Griseb., whose corolla-plaits, and sometimes the 

 corollas entire, are pure white, whilst those of G. flavida are 

 tinged more or less with yellow. 



In the Synoptical Flora, Dr. Gray gives this range for the 

 species in question. — '* W. Canada and L. Superior, south to Illi- 

 nois and Kentucky and the mountains of Virginia, east to Penn- 

 sylvania and New York." 



In Pennsylvania it is a very rare plant and not known further 

 eastward than the central Alleghany region. I have it from two 

 stations, collected at one in Lycoming County, by McMinn,and the 

 other in Huntingdon County, where it was collected near Birm- 

 ingham, on Littk Juniata river, by J. R. Lowrie, September, 

 1875, and by myself also at a later date. 



There being no certain evidence, therefore, that Muhlenberg 

 ever saw it, the species should hereafter bear the name of Gen- 

 tianajiavzda, Gray.
