26 HARPER: EXPLORATIONS IN THE COASTAL PLAIN 
CHRYSOPSIS PINIFOLIA Ell. 
On the fall-line sand-hills near Butler, Taylor County, No- — 
vember 6 (zo. 7802). The only earlier specimen I have seen was 
collected by Elliott himself in the same region. This species be- — 
comes stoloniferous late in the season, a fact which has not been 4 
noted before. 
SOLIDAGO AMPLEXICAULIS T. & G. Fl. N. A. 2: 218. 1842 
Not rare in rich shady woods in Randolph County northwest _ 
of Cuthbert, in full bloom on October 21 (zo. 7764). Not pre- 
viously reported from Georgia. This species was named in a rather 
unusual way. The authors when describing it assumed it to be — 
the same as S. amplexicaulis Martens,* of which they had seen — 
the name but not the description. Soon afterward + they found 
that Martens’ S. amplexicaulis was a synonym of S. Riddell 
Frank. According to the views held at that time, this necessitated _ 
no change in the name of Torrey and Gray’s plant, but on the — 
principle of ‘‘ once a synonym always a synonym,” it would have 
to be changed. This is a case which seems to have escaped the — 
attention of the nomenclature reformers. 
BALDWINIA ATROPURPUREA Harper, Bull. Torrey Club, 28: 
483. Igo! 
At the time I described this species I had some doubts as to ‘ 
its validity, but I have none now. In 1902 I collected it near = 
Moultrie on September 20 (wo. 7644), and in the next two weeks 
saw it at many other places in the counties of Colquitt, Worth, — 
Berrien, Irwin and Dooly, always in moist slightly sloping pine-_ 
barrens. It grows in wetter places than does B. uniflora (but the 
two species are often found near together), and flowers several 
weeks later. I find also that its involucral bracts are smaller and 
more numerous than those of its congener. Also that the stems 4 
are usually purplish at the base, and commonly produce more. — 
branches (and consequently more heads) than in B. uniflora. — 
There is not the slightest possibility of confusing the two species, 
and it is remarkable that 2. kali was overlooked so long.
