flower; Mr. C. L. Boynton had found it there before in fruit, 
Then I stopped at Biltmore and sent north all of the unnamed 
Crataegus in the Biltmore Herbarium. Nashville was next 
visited. I spent about four weeks in western Kentucky, secur- 
ing some Crataegus and Malus material, and, on my way home, 
stayed a week at St. Louis, having a fine opportunity to see 
Crataegus Margaretta Ashe; but spending most of my time 
arranging and studying the Crataegus herbarium of the Missouri 
Botanical Garden. 
In August I started on my longest trip South, stopping again 
at A. A. Heller's station, Franklin, Virginia, for Crataegus flava, 
and this time eunss fruit and was certain of my determination. 
My n was Fayetteville, North Carolina, and then 
day at Rac South Carolina. Elliot’s Herbarium at ae 
Charleston Museum was then visited and his Crataegus types

From September 5 to 11, I was at Eutawville, S. C., in the 
vicinity of Thomas Walters’ collecting ground. Four days were 
spent in the sand-hill region at Aiken, South Carolina and 
Augusta, Georgia, and one day at Waycross, Georgia. 
Albany, Georgia, was the next stopping place, and, after that, 
Camilla, Georgia, where Crataegus aestivalis (Walt.) T. & G. is 
very common, and where I saw it for the first time in the field. 
Two days were spent at Montgomery, Alabama, and two at 
Nashville, Tennessee. I next visited western Kentucky. Two 
weeks were occupied between Paducah and Kuttawa in making 
a general collection. A few interesting species of Crataegus were 
found and many oaks and hickories, while my collectiori of Com- 
ositae was very large. The same may be said of my Compositae 
collections at the other southern stations. 
C. L. Boynton’s trips in Kentucky and West Virginia had 
given us many interesting Cra¢aegus specimens and, although it 
was now getting late in the season, I stopped at several of his 
stations. Leitchfield, Kentucky, is in the sandstone region ; but 
in a limestone outcrop of a few acres, were one new species and 
two very rare ones of Crataegus, and at least two hybrid oaks. 
Salt Lick, Kentucky, was the next station visited, where several
