MX., and longipilum, Torr. (extending both) ; and Chondrilla 

 juncea, L., called, as a weed, "Naked-weed, Skeleton-weed." 



The interesting bell-worts are: the white form of r Lobelia 

 syphilitica, L., and the rare Campanula divaricata, MX. 



Of the rarer heaths Schollera erythrocarpa, MX., grows on 

 the highest peak of the Alleghanies, alt. 4,800 ft. ; Ohio genes 

 hispidula at the Falls of Blackwater ; Menziesia globularis Salisb., 

 Clethra acuminata, MX., Moneses grandifiora, Salisb. , and all 

 the Rhododendrons except Rhodora and Lappdmcum-; even the 

 rare R. canescens (Mx.), Porter, being found along the Cacapon 

 River. 



Naumbergia thyrsifiora is found in Upshur County and 

 Mohrodendron Carolinum (called Shittim-wood) is plentiful 

 along the Gauley and New Rivers. Polemonium Van-Bruntiae, 

 Britt., comes south to our flora, as well as all the Hydrophyllums. 

 together with Phacelia Purshii, Buck, and parpiftora, Pursh. 



The beautiful morning-glories, Impotnoea coccinea, hedera- 

 cea, pur pur ea, and pandurata, are all too plentiful as weeds here ; 

 and Cuscuta glomerata, Gronovii and Epithymum, have been 

 found sparingly. Physalis viscosa, L., steals away from "near 

 the coast" and is found along the Ohio River, keeping company 

 with Lycium vulgare, Dun., and Physalodes Physaloides; Gaertn. 



The notable Scrophtilarias are : Collinsia verna, Nutt, Chelone 

 obliqua, L., and Pentsfemon canescens. Of the mints we have 

 notably ; Koellia verticilata, clinopodioides, pycanthemoides, and 

 montana. The other mints worthy of remark are : Meehania 

 cordata, Clinopodium vulgare, Scutellaria saxatilis, serrata, incana, 

 parvula, and nervosa; Marrubium vulgare, Galeopsis tetrahit, and 

 Stackys palustris and cordata. 



Of the ten Euphorbias the most notable are E. Darlingtonii 

 and E. Glyptosperma, var., pubescent, Engl., the latter not having 

 been previously found east of Iowa as far as we can learn. 



The presence of Quercus ilicifolia, Wang, in Hardy County, 

 extends the Manual distribution southeastward ; and the southing 

 of Q. macrocarpa, MX. is also extended by several stations in the 

 State. 



As to the conifers, we have about 270,000 acres of Picea 

 Mariana, a few representatives of Abies balsamea, Thuya occi-
