Mx., and longipilum, Torr. (extending both) ; and Chondrilla 

 juncea, L., called, as a weed, "Naked-weed, Skeleton-weed." 



The interestmg bell-worts are : the white form of Lobelia 

 syphilitica, L., and the rare Campanula divaricata, Mx. 



Of the rarer heaths Schollera erythrocarpa, Mx., grows on 

 the highest peak of the Alleghanies, alt. 4,800 ft.; Chio genes 

 hispidula at the Falls of Blackwater; Menziesia globularis Salisb., 

 Clethra acuminata, Mx., Moneses grandiUora, Salisb., and all 

 the Rhododendrons except Rhodora and Lapponicum,- even the 

 rare R. canescens ( Mx. ) , Porter, being found along the Cacapon 

 River. 



Naumbergia thyrsiflora is found in Upshur County and 

 Mohrodendron Carolinum (called Shittim-wood) is plentiful 

 along the Gauley and New Rivers. Polemonium Van-Bruntiae, 

 Britt., comes south to our flora, as well as all the Hydrophyllums, 

 together with Phacelia Purshii, Buck, and parviHora, Pursh. 



The beautiful morning-glories, Impomoea coccinea, hedera- 

 cea, purpurea, and pandurata, are all too plentiful as weeds here ; 

 and Cuscuta glomerata, Gronovii_ and Epithymmn, have been 

 found sparingly. Physalis viscosa, L., steals away from "near 

 the coast" and is found along the Ohio River, keeping company 

 with Lycium vidgare. Dun., and Physalodes Physaloides; Gaertn. 



The notable Scrophularias are : Collinsia verna, Nutt., Chelone 

 obliqua, L., and Pentstemon canescens. Of the mints we have 

 notably; Koellia verticilata, clinopodioides, pycanthemoides, and 

 nwntana. The other mints worthy of remark are : Meehania 

 cordata, Clinopodium vulgare, Scutellaria saxatilis, serrata, incama, 

 parvula, and nervosa; Marrubiiim vulgare, Galeopsis tetrahit, and 

 Stachys palvistris and cordata. 



Of the ten Euphorbias the most notable are E. Darlingtonii 

 and E. Glyptosperma, var., pubescens, Engl., the latter not having 

 been previously found east of Iowa as far as we can learn. 



The presence of Quercus ilicifolia, Wang, in Hardy County, 

 extends the Manual distribution southeastward ; and the southing 

 of Q. macrocarpa, Mx. is also extended by several stations in the 

 State. 



As to the conifers, we have about 270,000 acres of Picea 

 Mariana, a few representatives of Abies bcdswmea. Thuya occi-
