Radtila Lescurii Aust, So named by Evans. On wet rocks at Woodfin Falls. 



This is a fine large species, quite different from our northern ones, its 

 affinities being tropical American according to Prof. Evans. 



Porella pinnata L. Wet rocks, Pardee Point, Tenn. 



Lejeunea ovata Hook. Bark of trees, near Grandmother Gap and along road from 

 there down Blue Ridge; also mixed with Radula tenax from rock, Dark 

 Ridge Creek. 



Lejeunea unciloha Lindenb. Bark of tree in woods, near Marion. Not found at 

 higher altitudes, where L. clypeata (Schwein.) Sull. was not uncommon. 



Lejeunea patens Lindb. Rocks, Grandfather Mt.; Woodfin Falls; Dark Ridge 

 Creek. So named by Evans. This species had not hitherto been re- 

 ported south of Nova Scotia^° and is one of the "Atlantic species" 

 reaching northwestern Europe. I have collected it in Scotland and the 

 Faroes. The North Carolina specimens do not always have the very 

 white color characteristic of those of Europe, but sometimes do, and 

 otherwise agree closely, as Evans notes. 



Lejeunea laetevirens Nees & Mont. Rocks, Woodfin Falls region and Swannanoa 

 Mts, This species was left uncertain by Evans when he wrote his 

 Lejeunea monograph, but he later cleared it up as having a considerable 

 range in our vsouthern states. 



Lejeunea ulicina Tayl. Bark of tree, below Grandmother Gap on Blue Ridge. 



This minute species Evans had not formerly recorded south of Nova 

 Scotia, ^2 as he doubted Lindberg's South Carolina record for it.^^ He 

 now refers my specimen to it and suggests that Lindberg 's record should 

 perhaps be revised. This is like, L. patens, an "Atlantic species." 



Frullania plana Sull. Not uncommon on bark of trees and on rocks. Roan Mt., 

 Tenn.; Woodfin Creek; Balsam; Swannanoa Mts. 



Sphagnum conipactum DC. Dripping rocks, canyon of Doe River below Pardee 

 Point, Tenn. 



Sphagnum subsecundum Nees. Springy places, summit region of Roan Mt., both 

 N. C. and Tenn. 



Sphagnum Girgensohnii Russ. Below cold spring near site of old hotel, summit 

 region of Roan Mt. This is a considerable extension to the southward 

 of the range of this species, the most southerly station in our eastern 

 states being hitherto Cranberry Glades, Pocahontas Co., West Virginia, 

 where it was collected by Sheldon^* and which was itself a long step to 

 the southward, the species with us not usually passing the southern 

 limits of glaciation. It should be noted however in this connection that 

 it is not entirely a bog plant, as are most of the others limited by the 

 area of glaciation, but occurs also in mountain-woods.
