the slopes of Pine Glade Mt., alt. 2,600 ft. 
Panax quinquefolia, L. (Aralia quinquefolia, Decne. and Planch.) 
Only one specimen of this species was collected and it was 
found under a damp, overhanging clift near the falls of the

2,800 ft. Along Peak Creek on Peak Mt., alt. 2,200 ft. 
Kate’s Mt., W. Va., alt. 3,300 ft. 
On the hills along Staley Creek, near Marion, a decidedly 
pinkish-flowered form was noticed. 
Cornus sericea, L. Along the South Fork of the Holston River near 
Add Wolf, alt. 2,200 ft. Rocky banks of the Middle Fork 
of the Holston River, near Marion, alt. 2,100 ft. Sandy shore

Nyssa aquatica, L. Lynchburg, alt. 500 ft. River. banks and 
hills near Marion, alt. 2,100-2,500 ft. Chatham Hill Gap, 
Walker Mt., alt. 3,000 ft. 
In the higher altitudes the larger and older trees were very 
remarkable for the heavy, thick, almost corky bark, splitting into 
more or less regular, hexagonal sections. Near Marion some 
specimens were collected that had decidedly lobed leaves. 
Sambucus Canadensis, L. Cliffs of Farmer Mt. along the New 
River, alt. 2,200 ft. About Lynchburg, alt. 500 ft. Fall of 
the Holston River, alt. 2,050 ft. 
The specimens from the last cited locality are noteworthy on 
account of pubescence on the under surface of the leaves. A 
minute and inconspicuous pubescence often occurs in this species, 
but on the specimens here noted it has developed into conspicuous 
and rather stiff silky hairs.
