1913] CONARD—REVEGETATION 81 
during their resting period. The Smilacina and Desmodium 
mentioned above grew in the band of vegetation where the old 
hillside grade intersects the new level. They had not been trans- 
planted, but were covered with about three inches of fresh sand. 
Whether the transplants were roots or rhizomes is of but slight 
importance. So far as we could determine by surface inspection, 
root propagation is shown by the following: 
Myrica Gale, M. asplenifolia (root 6 in. by 3 in.), Sassafras variifolium 
(6 in. by 3 in.), Rubus villosus (3 in. by } in.), Robinia Pseudo-Acacia (4-6 in. 
by % in.), Lespedeza fruticosa (?), L. repens, Euphorbia Ipecacuanhae, Rhus 
glabra (6-8 in. by 3 in.), R. copallina (6 in. by +’s in.), Vaccinium pennsyl- 
- vanicum (4 in. by 4 in.), Asclepias amplexicaulis (3 in. by 4} in.). 
Pieces of rhizome give rise to new plants in the following: 
Pteris aquilina, Smilax glauca, S. rotundifolia, Aralia nudicaulis (14 in. 
by } in.), Lespedeza virginica (?). 
The entire plant or the crown with more or less of root had 
been moved down bodily in the following: 
Andropogon scoparius, Panicum sp., Cyperus filiculmis, Stenophyllus 
capillaris, Carya alba (stump), Quercus marylandica (stump), Q. alba (stump), 
Rumex acetosella, Prunus serotina (stump), Baptisia tinctoria, odium 
nudiflorum, D. rotundifolium, Stylosanthes biflora, Oxalis corniculata, Heli- 
anthemum canadense, Viola pedata, Thaspium aureum (?), Plantago major, 
Eupatorium hyssopifolium, Solidago altissima, S. odora (?), S. tenuifolia, 
Aster (2 spp. not identified), A. linariifolius, Sericocarpus asteroides, Achillea 
millefolium, Taraxacum officinale. 
Seedlings of the following plants were found in the congenial 
sand of the new exposure, though no seedlings of Myrica, Castanea, 
Baptisia, or Tephrosia were seen on the hillside. The other species 
named, whose seedlings were found in both habitats, are nearly all 
annuals. 
Myrica asplenifolia, Castanea fae Phytolocca decandra, Mollugo 
verticillata, Portulacca oleracea, Baptisia tinctoria, Tephrosia virginiana, 
Trichostema dichotoma, Linaria canadensis, and Ambrosia artemisiaefolia. 
The following plants of the new ground were not found at all 
on the hillside: 
: Avena sativa, Polygonum hydropiper (?), P. convolvulus, Acalypha vir- 
ginica, Oenothera biennis, Xanthium canadense ( ?)
