but the fact of their growing together without intergrading is pretty 

 good evidence that these two species are distinct. T, longifolium 

 was previously known only from the original specimens collected 

 by Rugel in Alabama and Florida in 1843. 



To found a new species on a dried specimen which has been 

 accessible to botanists for over half a century is a practice not 

 usually to be commended, but in this case the subsequent develop- 

 ments seem to have justified it. 



Viola tripartita glaberrima (Ging.) Harper 



Rather common in rich shady woods in Randolph County 

 {fio. iSSi). Although this is said to intergrade with V. tripartita 

 in Alabama * and elsewhere, there is no such intergradation in 

 Southwest Georgia, for the simple reason that V. tripartita does 

 not grow there, or anywhere else in the coastal plain, as far as 

 known. However, I am not prepared to raise the variety to 



specific rank. 



Mr. Pollard has assumed t that V. tripartita glaberrima does 



r 



not range south of Athens, Georgia, its place being taken farther 

 south by his V. temtipes (a species which I have not yet collected) ; 

 which assumption was justifiable at that time, no specimens of van 

 glaberrima from South Georgia being then known. 



^Mohr, Contn U. S. Nat. Herb. 6: 628. 1901. But Dr. Mohr's statement is 

 inconsistent with other evidence on the same page, for he reports V, iripartiia only 

 from Lee County (but neither form is mentioned in Earle's later Flora of the Meta- 

 morphia Region) and the van glaberrima only from Tuscaloosa County.
