FOTHERGILLA MONTICOLA Ashe.— The recent discovery of this local 
shrub at Chapel Hill, N. C., makes another station for it about 150 
miles east of any previously reported locality. It grows there ona rocky 
hillside with Rhododendron Catawbiense Mx., and the chestnut oak. This 
is also the most eastward station for Rhododendron Catawbiense Mx. 
Dr. J. K. Small reported Crowder’s mountain as being the most east 
ward station, but Chapel Hill is 140 miles further east, and has an 
elevation rooo feet less than that of Crowder’s mountain, being only 
500 feet above sea level. The Systematic Flora (2: 42) gives the plant 
as occurring only at high elevations. This rhododendron is also 
found abundantly along the Oconneechee hills, twelve miles north: 
west of Chapel Hill, and at a slightly higher elevation. With it at this 
place is Aconitum reclinatum Gray, one of the most local species of 
the genus, and hitherto supposed to be confined to higher elevations, 
5000-6500 feet, in the southern Alleghanies.—W. W. ASHE, Bilt-
