on Cheat Mountain, in what is now Randolph County, West Vir- 

 ginia (17), a plant which he had named A. recUnatum (18) from 

 its trailing habit. It is frequently found, however, as a nearly 

 erect plant, especially if growing in a close mass of vegetation. 

 Rydberg (19) named the erect form A. vaccariim, citing, as the 

 type locality, "the east slope of Spruce Knob," Pendleton County, 

 West Virginia. My comparison of the type specimens indicates 

 that there is no ground for separating the Pendleton County plant ; 

 hence the name A. vaccarum lapses into synonymy.

Viola Priceana Pollard. Along Lunice Creek in Grant County, 

 Mr. and Mrs. Davis 2467. This plant is regarded by Brainerd as 

 an albino form of V. papilionacea but Small calls attention to the 

 fact that in that species the flowers are violet with a white center 

 while in V. Priceana the condition is reversed. 



Harperella vivipara Rose. No species of Harperella was 

 known in the range of Gray's Manual at the time of the appear- 

 ance of the 7th edition, Rose's plant not being described until 1911. 

 (20). Britton and Brown (2nd edition, 1913) reported it as found 

 on the "banks of the Potomac River, Maryland." The plant was 

 first discovered in West Virginia by Straushaugh, being found in 

 abundance along Sleepy Creek, Morgan County, July 8, 1938.
