I. NOTEWORTHY SPECIES. 



Smilax Morongii. 



mcgacarpi 



434. 1894. 



The specific name under which this characteristic plant was 

 first described was preoccupied * at the time of its publication. 

 Henceforth the species may be designated by the name of the 

 original describer. 



Baptisia megacarpa Chapm.; T. & G. Fl. N. A. 1 : ^76. 1838. 



During the summer of 1895, I found this local species abund- 

 antly scattered through swamps of the Flint River below Albany, 

 Georgia. The plants there continued to flower after they had pro- 

 duced mature fruit. The trees forming the woods of the part of 

 the river swamp in which this Baptisia grew were almost exclu- 

 sively magnificent specimens of Acer Floridammi. 



Euphorbia apocyxifolia Small, Bull. Torr. Club, 25 : 467. 



S. 10, 1898. 



Euphorbia corollata, 6 apocynifolia Millspaugh, Bot. Gaz. 26 : 

 268. O. 15, 1898. 



Since the publication of this species excellent specimens have 

 reached the herbarium of the New York Botanical Garden, through 

 the National Museum. They were collected at Meridian, 

 sippi, on October 10, 1896, by Mr. Charles Schuchert. They 

 are almost exactly like the type and possess all the characters 

 that separate the species so obviously and abundantly from its 

 relatives. 



Ceanothus serpyllifolius Nutt. Gen. 1: 154- 1S18. 

 In the latest interpretation! of this species the author cites a 

 single collection, the original. The species wa s first collected by
