Notes on plants of the southern United States—II! 
FRANCIS W. PENNELL 
As with preceding issues this paper divides itself into two 
portions. One consists of short notes based upon the writer’s 
field work of 1912 and 1913, recording mostly plants believed new 
to their respective states. The other and larger portion consists 
of a revision of the genus Chamaecrista in the United States, and 
for this have been reviewed, besides his own collections, all the 
material in several of our leading herbaria. In both parts symbols 
are used; > to indicate in flower; <, in fruit. 
MISCELLANEOUS SPECIES 
ARISTOLOCHIA LONGIFLORA Engelm. & Gray 
Not “A. longifolia,” as it appears in Coulter, Botany of Western 
Texas (Contr. U. S. Nat. Herb. 2), and in Small, Flora of the 
Southeastern United States. Collected near its original station, 
on dry black loam, Edwards Plateau, northwest of New Braunfels, 
Comal County, Texas, September 14, 1913, 5435. 
_ ACTAEA ALBA (L.) Mill. 
Deciduous woodland, Catalpa, West Feliciana Parish, Louisi- 
ana, August 22, 1912, 4309. With a large number of northern 
species, such as Asplenium pycnocarpon Spreng., this reaches its 
southern limit in the loess hills east of the Mississippi River in 
Louisiana. 
CrAccA AMBIGUA (M. A. Curtis) Kuntze 
Open long-leaf pine-land, one to two miles north of Abita 
Springs, St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana, > August 12, 1912, 4136. 
Cracca angustifolia (Featherman) Pennell, comb. nov. 
Tephrosia angustifolia Featherman, Bot. Rep. Louisiana 73. 1871. 
“Habitat.—Pine barrens near Pontchatoula [Louisiana].” 
From inquiry at Baton Rouge it seems probable that Featherman’s 
type is not in existence.
