to Virginia (Little Falls, Peaks of Otter and High Island, at Washing- 
ton, D.C.) and to Pennsylvania. Thence west through Ohio (general), 
southern Indiana, Barren and Edmonson counties, Kentucky, to Daven- 
port, Iowa, and to Kansas, where it is said to be ‘‘not common.”’* It is 
said also to be found in Mississippi. What I have here considered 
the var. coccinea has been found only, I believe, in the vicinity of Aus- 
tin and New Braunfels, Texas. The other, var. Pitcheri, is the western 
form. ‘The most eastern locality recorded is the Lower Wabash valley 
in Indiana, which possesses in many respects a peculiar flora, a sort of 
mingling of eastern, southern and western species. Thence it ranges 
porthwest, said to be abundant at Peoria, Ill., and Davenport, Iowa. 
Southward it is found between Westport, Missouri, and Cottonwood 
Creek; on the Red River of Arkansas ; at Limestone Gap, and in the 
Wichita mountains of Indian Territory, and in the valley of the 
Limpia in northwest Texas. 
Taking now the varieties of C. Viorna, we see it has a wide distribu- 
tion. From northern Georgia and Alabama to Texas and Mexico on the 
south, to Virginia, Ohio and Iowa on the north. And throughout the 
country inclosed by these boundaries it seems to be abundant. The var. 
Pitcheri passes into C. filifera, Benth. of Mexico. 
No. 8. C. Bigelovii, Torrey, is a very local species, first found in 
the Sandia Mts. in New Mexico, and since collected near Sante Fe and 
Silver City. When the country has been more fully explored it will 
perhaps be found in other localities, but probably in the same vicinity 
as those now known. 
No. 9. C. reticulata, Walter, is a southern species, and is recorded 
as found in the upper districts of Carolina and Georgia, lower districts 
of Alabama, at Gainesville, Florida, west to Louisiana and Texas 
(Houstont), and in Chihuahua, Mexico. It is quite closely related to 
C. Viorna, and is possibly an offshoot from that species. 
No. 10. C. crispa, Linn.—This is a variable species, various forms 
of it having been described under different names. It is also a southern 
species, its most northern station being given as Norfolk, Virginia. 
Thence it ranges south through Carolina and Georgia to Florida 
(Quincy), and west to Alabama (coast to upper districts), Mississippi, 
Louisiana and Houston, Texas. The narrow-leaved var. Walteri,{ is
