biaristate anthers, recurved racemes, larger leaves, and it is also a 
smaller shrub. . . 
Hab. Mountains near Paint Rock, Tennessee, and the Warm 
Springs, North Carolina.—F lowers in April. 
Ancexica Curtis (n. sp.): leaves large, bipinnately divided, 
segments subcordate or lanceolate ; lacinie submucronate; stem 
glabrous, terete, striate, involucre and involucels none—Stem ~ 
large, about 3 feet high, petioles large, long, and sheathed at the 
base ; segments of the leaves 3-5, leaflets large and deeply lacini- 
ate, umbels crowded, fruit large, oblong, elliptical, commissure 
with 2 vitte, lateral wings as broad as the seed. 
Hab. High mountains of North Carolina, especially the Bald 
Mountain in Yancey County, where it was discovered in flower 
by the Rev. M. A. Curtis. 
ARUM POLYMORPHUM (n. sp.): stemless; leaves ternate, ovate, 
acuminate, outer leaflets rhomboid-ovate, auricled or deeply divid- 
ed, approaching a pentaphyllous form ; spadix clavate, longer than 
the subcylindric tube; fertile florets crowded around the base; 
spathe peduncled; tube subcylindric, broadest at the top ; lamina 
ovate, acuminate, longer than the tube; stem 1-14 feet high, 
form of leaves very variable, but generally the outer ones are 
more or less divided near the base; fruit, scarlet berries, few and 
crowded at the base of the spadix.—I have a subpentaphyllous 
form, collected on the banks of the French Broad, in which the 
spadix is more attenuate towards theapex. It is possible that this 
form may be the A. quinatum of Nuttall. ae 
Carex Caroninrana (n. sp.): styles 3; pistillate spikes 2-3, long 
exsertly pedunculate ; scales of the fertile florets ovate, acute, as 
long or longer than the perigynium ; perigynium triquetrous, sub- 
acuminate, achenium ovate, elliptical, 3-angled, angles subacute ; 
scales of the staminate spike ovate, subobtuse, reddish-brown ; 
culm compressed, striate, subfiliform, fertile florets few and small, 
3-6, generally 3, on long filiform peduncles ; radical leaves nume- 
rous, 4-6 lines wide, as long or longer than the culms, culms nu-

Carex miser (n. sp.): styles 3; staminate spike solitary ; pis-
