Lysimachia guadrifolia L. In dry woods near Bridge Creek, 

 not common. This may be the southernmost known station for 

 it. Dr. Mohr knew it only from Sand and Lookout Mountains. 



Pinguicula pumila Mx. Sandy bogs near springs on Golsan's 

 farm. Known to Dr. Mohr only from Baldwin and Mobile 

 Counties, but I found it in similar places in Chilton County a 

 few years ago.* In the central pine belt it grows larger than it 

 does farther south, and might be mistaken for P. elatior in dried 

 specimens, but the color of the corolla is more like that of P. 

 pumila than P. elatior. 



Utricularia sithulata L. With or near the preceding. Com- 

 moner southward, but grows also on Lookout Mountain.

A TRIP TO EL YUNQUE, PORTO RICO 



Elizabeth G. Britton 



From the windows of our rooms at the Condado, the Luquillo 

 Range of mountains — filling the northeastern end of the Island — 

 loomed up, misty and blue in the early morning, or cloud- 

 capped in the afternoon, and continually tempted us to come 

 and see its wonders! One of the keenest disappointments of 

 all our West Indian journe^^s had been that I was unable to 

 join my husband and a party of botanists in a camping trip 

 from Naguabo in 1913 to El Duque at the other end of the 

 range. Having helped to take care of the plants and studied 

 the mosses from that trip, I could faintly imagine what treasures 

 awaited us on El Yunque. It is called the "Anvil" from the 

 flat top so characteristic of the northeastern end of the range, 

 and is 3,700 feet high. 



Through the courtesy of the Forestry Department of the 

 Federal Government of Porto Rico, and the kindness of Mr. 

 Murray Bruner — Chief Forester — all arrangements were made 

 for us to start from Mameyes on horse-back by the Catalina 

 trail, for a "week-end" visit to the forest- ranger's huts of the 

 Luquillo Forest Reserve. So we motored down to the Mameyes 

 River, bag and baggage, ready to "rough it" and get wet.
