bristly-hispid with stiff greenish setae which at length become dark 

 brown. 



Unaka Mountains, North Carolina and Tennessee. Sandstone and 

 shale ridges in pure mountain pine (Piniis pungens) forest; less com- 

 mon in chestnut oak, qualities 4 and 5. Type, in cultivation, from 

 near Hot Springs, N. C. This plant has been included in R. hispida 

 L. (this Journal 37: 175) but it justifies separation on account of its 

 thinner and differently shaped leaflets, lower habit, shorter, weaker 

 and paler-colored bristles, less showy flowers and abundant fruiting. 



Rohinia pedunculata sp. nov. A shrub 1.8-4 dm, high with more 

 or less hispid shoots and peduncles. Leaves 13-17 cm. long of 7-13 

 ovate or elliptic glabrate leaflets 3-4.5 cm. long. Racemes few, ped- 

 uncles 7-9 cm. long, fully one-half as long as the leaves, drooping, 

 7-12 flowered ; flowers white and rose, 20-23 mm. long, calyx cam- 

 panulate, 4-6 mm. long, less than one-third as long as the flower, the 

 lobes short. Fruit, often several to a peduncle, thick, 3-5 cm. long, 

 densely hispid. 



Type in cultivation, from sandstone ridges near Wolf Creek, 

 Tennessee. This plant is well separated from all related forms by the 

 many flowered racemes and elongated peduncles.
