532 Harper : Some Alabama plants 



ville, Marshall County, March 22, 1906, in flower. Not previ- 

 ously reported south of Tennessee. 



Arabis georgiana Harper, Torreya 3: 88. 1903 



Previously known only from the banks of the Oostanaula and 

 Chattahoochee rivers in Georgia.* On December 9th last I was 

 walking along the Coosa River (a continuation of the Oostanaula), 

 in the upper edge of the coastal plain in Elmore County, a few 

 miles below Wetumpka, and thinking that this species should grow 

 there if anywhere in Alabama, I looked for it at the first promising 

 spot — and found it, of course in the same condition in which I 

 had last seen it in Georgia. On April 24 I revisited the locality 

 and was fortunate in finding my plant in full bloom — -the first 

 time it had ever been seen in that condition in the wild state, by 

 the way. Its habitat and associates there are very much the same 

 as at the two Georgia stations. 



Parnassia asarifolia Vent. 



A few years ago I supposed that this species reached its 

 southern limit in Clarke County, Georgia, f But Dr. Mohr X has 

 since reported it from Clay County, Alabama, and last spring I 

 saw it in wet woods in the counties of Cleburne, Randolph and 

 Chambers, which are likewise in the Metamorohic region. 



Neviusia alabamensis Gray 



As is well known, this is one of the rarest of North American 

 shrubs. It was known only from the vicinity of Tuscaloosa $ 

 until Mr. T. G. Harbison found it at the northwestern base of 

 Sand Mountain in Jackson County a few years ago.|| On March 

 23 I saw it on limestone rocks on the lower slopes of the 

 mountains east of New Market, Madison County, about five miles 

 from the Tennessee line, on the same formation (Subcarboniferous) 

 as that on which Mr. Harbison found it.
