FLORA OF WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA 
AND CONTIGUOUS TERRITORY.

The morning of June 2d found us at Lynchburg, Va., 
whence we proceeded to Roanoke, at which place, according to 
our plans, we were to spend the first one of our three months’ 
botanical campaign in the South. 
f course anything strange or of much interest could not be 
expected from this locality, as the date of our visit corresponded 
too closely with that of Dr. Britton’s party the previous year. 
However, we found about a dozen species not reported before. 
Jeffersonia diphylla, then in mature fruit, grew among the

of this plant are mottled and the peduncles very much recurved. 
Near by, a small form of Ranunculus recurvatus was picked up, 
also Heuchera hispida.
