The Ohio Naturalist. 
[Vol. XI, No. 5, 
about Nashville, Tennessee, also in Giles County, Virginia, and 
on the summit of Stone Mountain, Georgia, where it has been 
repeatedly collected. But its main range seems to lie to the west- 
ward of the species, from Missouri (Potosi) to Kansas (Cherokee 
County) and southward into Texas. 
EUPATORIUM AROMATICUM IN OHIO. 
Robert F. Griggs. 
So far as the writer is aware Eupatorium aromaticum L. has 
never been suspected of being a member of the Ohio Flora. Great, 
therefore, was the writer’s joy in finding it growing abundantly 
along the roadside in the valley of Queer Creek about three 
miles east of South Bloomingville, Hocking County, September 7, 
1910. The plants were at once recognized as entirely distinct 
from the common E. ageratoides with which the species some- 
times intergrades and on comparison with herbarium specimens 
proved to be perfectly typical representatives of E. aromaticum. 
The general distribution of the species as given by the manuals, 
Britton and Gray, is “Copses, etc., Massachusetts to Florida near 
the coast.” Reference to herbarium specimens and local floras 
shows however, a considerably wider range. In the Gray her- 
barium at Harvard are specimens from Massachusetts, Rhode 
Island, District of Columbia, Virginia, (Norfolk Co. on the coast 
and Bedford and Craig Counties in the mountains). North and 
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, and Louisiana, 
(Jacksonville). In addition it is reported from the Tullahoma 
flats near Knoxville, Tenn., by Gattinger and from Jackson 
County in southern Illinois by Patterson and from the vicinity of 
Pittsburg by Shafer, though in this case the reference is unsup- 
ported by a herbarium specimen. Even with these additions the 
present station is about two hundred miles from the edge of its 
range as previously known. Whether or not it occurs generally 
over the area indicated can not be determined from the data at 
hand but in any case the range should be revised to include the 
localities given above.
