was found in several places. Here and there in shady situations I 

 observed Botrychium virginianum (L.) Sw. 169 At several points 

 along the mountain in deep shade I collected Viola canadensis 

 L. 170 This is the only station in Alabama where I found this 

 violet. Scutellaria montana Chapm. 171 is a common plant on 

 shaded slopes. On the uppermost of the cherty strata of the sub- 

 carboniferous limestone formation, I found Aristolochia convolvu- 

 lacea Small 172 abundantly represented. This species blooms from 

 one to two weeks in advance of Aristolochia serpentaria L. 173 I 

 collected A. convolvulacea in Coffee county, Tennessee, in 1899, 

 and since then have observed it on Walden's Ridge, and in the 

 Cumberland mountains of Tennessee, always in more or less sili- 

 ceous soil. On the mountain I observed Aristolochia nashi Kear- 

 ney, 174 but A. serpentaria is the more common form. 



To the already large list of plants indigenous to Alabama we 

 may now add Hypericum dolabrifor?ne Vent., 175 Waldsteinia lobata 

 T. & G., 176 Viola canadensis L., 177 Polymnia Icevigata Beadle, 178 

 Robinia boyntoni Ashe, 179 Helianthus poly phy litis Small, 180 Solidago 

 rigida L. , 181 Azalea lutea L., 182 Carex costellata Britton 183 and Aris- 

 tolochia convolvulacea Small. 184 — T. G. Harbison.
