WILLIAALS Stenographer LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL. To His Excellency, Hon. Henry D. Hatfield, Governor of JVesf Virginia, and President of the West Virginia Geological Sur- rey Commission : Sir : I have the honor to transmit herewith the very inter- esting work of Dr. C. F. Millspaugh, Curator of Botany in the Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, 111., on the Living Flora of West Virginia, and also the very complete work of Dr. David White, Associate Curator of Paleobotany in the Smithson- ian Institution, and Chief Geologist U. S. G. Survey, Washing- ton, D. C, on the Fossil Flora of West Virginia. The very exhaustive paper of Dr. Millspaugh which forms Part I. of this new Volume V(A) of the publications of the West Virginia Geological Survey, constitutes an entire revision of the "West Virginia Flora" prepared and published by Dr. Millspaugh in 1896, as a- revision of his first publication of a "Preliminary Catalogue of the Flora of West Virginia," 1891, published by the West Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station when Dr. !Mills- paugh was connected with that Institution as Botanist during the years 1889 to 1892. The present paper embodies the results of a much wider and later study not only by Dr. Millspaugh through the works and collections of other authors, but also the results of Dr. John L. Sheldon's (Professor of Botany, W. Va. Uni- versity) recent studies communicated freely to Dr. Millspaugh for use in this publication, so that a very large addition to the West Virginia Flora is thus made known to the world by this "labor of love" on the part of Dr. Millspaugh, for which alll those interested in the botany of the State will be deeplv grate- ful. Dr. David White's paper on the Fossil Flora of West A'ir- ginia which constitutes Part II. of this volume is the first publi- cation of its kind made by the State giving a complete list of the known fossil plants, or the Flora that covered the land and peat swamps of West Virginia millions of years ago when the vege- table deposits which now form our coal beds were in process of LETTER OF TRANSMISSAL. Vll accumulation. These plants are of course all extinct at the pres- ent time, and only a few of their diminutive relatives and de- scendants still survive in oiu" ferns, rushes, and club-mosses, since the Carboniferous Flora herein described lived before the day of flowering- plants, birds and mammals had dawned upon the earth. Dr. David White, one of the most distinguished of paleobotanists, has listed these interesting fossil remains in the relation which they sustain to the well-known Coal beds of the State, and hence as the fossil plants of each great coal horizon contain in their en- tirety some types and facies not found in connection with any other geological horizon, the publication in question cannot fail to prove of great economic value as an aid in the correlation of our numerous important coal horizons. The preparation of each part of this volume by the authors of the same has required an im- mense amount of careful and painstaking labor, all of which has been generously donated to the State Geological Survey by the distinguished authors to whom not only the Survey but all the people of the State are under lasting obligations for their dis- interested and most valuable services. This volume together with Volume V on Forestry and Wood Industries of the State by A. B. Brooks, published under date of February ist, 191 1, will furnish a very fair account of the plant life of the State, and in due time it is hoped finally to add a vol- ume on the animal life of the State, as provided in the scheme of general publications contemplated by the Survey. Very respectfully, L C. WHITE, State Geologist. ]\Iorgantown, W. \^a., June ist, 1913.

The insects are probably killed by this fvmgus, as they lie dead in their burrows in the inner bark of the tree (Piiins Virginiana). Sporodochia minute, forming irregular masses, soft, some- what waxy, white or whitish ; sporophores slender, abun- dantly branched above, often compacted below into a short stem-like base, spores catenulate, short cylindrical, subtrun- cate, colorless, .00016 to .0002 in. long, .00008 to .0001 in. broad. 46 Tin-: WEST VIRGINIA FLORA On some of the insects there is a cottony or flocculent mass of white mycehum interwoven in a somewhat reticulate manner, and collected in strings or bundles. It bears no fruit, but is probably a luxuriant growth of the mycelium of this fungus. Occasionally the fungus seems to spread from the insect to bark immediately adjacent to it. C.

Plants bright glossy green, stems matted below by a red tomentum, leafy nearly to apex, denudate roughened above, with a few leaves at summit ; leaves erect or secund, straight or curled and twisted, often 5 mm. long, narrowly subulate from a short, thick base, caducous ones with a long, slender, smooth point ; persistent ones serrate, blade inflexed cells densely chlorophyllose, filled with oil globules, those of the basal angles, clear. Dioecious, the antheridia terminal in conspicuous heads, bracts brown at base, apex subulate, serrate ; perichretial bracts 3 to 4 mm. long, from a short base, suddenlv sulnilate, dentate at apex ; pedicels lateral by WEST VIRGINIA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY 175 the growth of innovations, a to 2 cm. long", pale,' glossy yellow, twisted in two directions, very slender, arcuate when young, becoming erect before capsules mature. Capsule cylindric, ribbed only at the mouth, U to 2 mm. long, beak- straight or curved, shorter than the capsule, peristome'^bright red, not deep set, teeth split unequally to middle, striolate at base, pale and granulose above, annulus none, spores small, calyptra cucullate, 2 mm. long, beaked, entire. Maturing in summer. Differs from European specimens of D. longirostre col- lected by Seringe ; in the longer, paler, more slender, scarcely arcuate pedicels, longer capsules, peristome not deep set, and teeth split only to the middle, more united than figured in the Bryologia Europaea, Table 88. It may be distinguished from Campylopus Virginiciis, also remarkable for it's cadu- cous leaves, by the longer, more slender subulate point, which is entire or minutely serrate and smooth on the back, by the thick base, with inflexed blades, and by the shape of the basal cells at the angles. Monongalia, on sandstone boulder deep woods, Tibb's Run (Millspangh, 1596). Campylopus nexiiosus, Sull. not Brid. D. Millspaugliii E. G. B. Plant slight yellowish green, silky, cespitose ; stems mat- ted with rufous tomentum at base, i to 3 cnL long, a few denudate, roughened by the fragments of the slighfly cadu- cous leaves. Leaves secund or erect-spreading, 4 to 5 mm. long, narrowly subulate from a broad base "i to U mm. long becoming tubular above with inrolled margins,' basal angles not auricled, filled by large hyaline cells to the base of the broad, brown vein, those of the blade oblong or square next the vein becoming spindle-shaped and prosenchy- matous toward the margin, vein thick, excurrent into a den- tate slender tip, rough on back. Dioecious, perichstium 5 to 7 mm. long, bracts sheathing half their length, taper- ing to a long, slender, obscurely serrate tip, outer shorter, abruptly subulate, more sharply serrate; pedicels recurved, burying the capsules among the leaves, becoming erect when old, 5 to 8 mm. long, stout and twisted in two directions; capsules pyriform-cylindric with a distinct neck, length about I mm. without the lid. which is as long a? the rest of the capsule, with a straight beak, calyptra cucullate, entire ; peristome red, connivent, teeth deep set, slender, split to middle, or perforate to base, striolate below, granulose above ; annulus none, mouth bordered by a dense, "dark rim. Maturing in summer, old capsules persistent, not sulcate. Differs from European specimens of D. longirostre in the structure of the base of the leaf, lacking the suddenlv in- lyb Tin-: wkst \irginia flora flaled basal auricles ; dififerino- also in the cells above the base, teeth not split to base, occasionally only perforate. From D. Virginicns it may be distinguished by the less caducous leaves, shorter, stouter, more arcuate pedicels, smaller capsules, and longer sheathing perich?etium. Through the kindness of Dr. Robinson I have been able to compare these specimens with those collected by Sul- livant on Grandfather Mt. in 1843. His also are fruiting, and an excellent drawing is preserved, hence I am able to assert that the specimens are almost identical. SuUivant's showing no naked stems, but many of the leaves are cadu- cous. Dr. Braithwaite kindly compared the West Virginia specimens with Camp\Iop]ts pyriforinis, sending me speci- mens of this and the varjety MiiUcri, and sketches of the bases of the leaves. It is evident that Sullivant was mis- taken in referring his specimens to C. fiextiosiis, as they are more closely allied to Dicranodontium longirostrc, var. al- p'mus. LEUCOBRYACEAE.

VULGARE DECEPTUM Maxou, Proc. Nat. Mus., 23:628 (1901). Rhizoma slender, extensively creeping, covered thickly with spreading chaff ; stipe 5 to 8 inches long, greenish to stramineous; laminae very 'dark green above, lighter be- low, 7 to 1 1 inches long, 2^ to 4 inches broad ; pinnae distant from once to twice their width, broadest in the middle and tapering to an acute apex, the margin doubly crenate or occasionally nearly entire, the base broadly decurrent, veins sinuous and prominent in drying, the veinlets usually fork- ing twice; tip of lamina long acuminate, as in P. faleatuin; sori very large, often irregularly disposed. Type in the U. S. National Herbarium, Smithsonian In- stitution, collected by E. L. Morris, No. 121 5, on rocks, along the Guyandotte River below Baileysville, Wyoming County, W. Va., alt. 1,100-1,250 feet, August 13-19, 1900. This fern has already been brieflv characterized by Dr. Millspaugh as Polypodium viilgare forma biserrata (sic). The name hiserratum being already preoccupied by a ]\Iexican fern it becomes necessary, in referring to the West Virginian plant, to substitute a new name. In addi- tion I would refer here Mr. Morris' 1207 collected near the type station ; also Pollard & Maxon's No. 25, collectea Aug. 21, 1899, at Quinnimont, W. Va., which I have pre- viously referred tentatively to the variety aciitum Moore. From aeutiim it differs in the narrower and ftiore spatulate pinnae, and commonly in the double crenation, for aeutiiin is normally with entire, or at most slightly serrulate, pinnae. 192 THE WEST \TRGINIA FLORA Mr. Morris states that typical vulgar e was common in the general region ; from this it differs in its nmch greater size, its scantier foliage, and in the shape of the pinnae. There are in the National Herbarium at least two specimens, col- lected in West Virginia and North Carolina, which with plants collected at Great Falls, Fairfax County, Va., by William Palmer, are to be regarded as intermediate with typical z'ulgare, mossy boulders along the Blackwater Fork of Cheat River (Millspaiigh).

The following description is taken from Prof Britton's account of the plant in "Bull. Torrey Club," Dec. i8go. "A glabrous shrub, the branches forming long wands, erect or reclining, 1-4 ft. long. Leaves oblong or slightly oblanceolate, thin, obtuse or short-pointed at the apex, roimd- ed or cuneate at the base, 13/2 to 2 in. long, 5-8 lines wide, green above, pale beneath, entire or with a few low serration? in the upper half; petioles 2 lines long; pedicels and pedun- cles pale and glaucous ; flowers about 2-lines broad, in term- inal compound corymbs 1-3 in. across; calyx teeth 5, tri- angular, blunt, about the length of the short-canipanulate tube, distinctly glaucous ; petals 5, white, ovate-orbicular, obtuse; stamens 15-20, persistent; styles 5-6; follicles in the specimens examined, 5-6, apparentlv sterile, included in the persistent calyx." "On damp rocks along the T^Ionongahela Rivei«, Morgan- town, W est Virginia, collected by Dr. C. E. AL'llspaugh in ]lower, June 20th, 1890, and in apparently imperfect fruit WEST VIRGINIA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY 2/3 late in September. Collected also by Mr. G. R.

This species was described in "The Bulletin of the Torry Club" for 1 89 1, page 366, as follows : "Ascending, wand-like, entirely unarmed or with a very few wea'k prickles above, glabrous throughout or the young- er shoots scurfy pubescent. Stems one and one-half to four meters long; leaves long petioled, pedately 5-foliate or some of those one the twigs 3-foliate ; leaflets thin, oval, glabrous on both sides, long-acuminate at the apex, mostly rounded at the base, 12-15 cm. long, about 5 cm. wide, sharply, but not deeply serrate; stock of the terminal leaflet 7-10 cm, long ; inflorescence loosely racemose ; bracts linear-lanceolate ; acuminate ; fruit black, about 10 mm. long." "Nearest to R. villosus, but evidently a distinct species. Curiously enough there is a leaf of this species glued down on the sheet of R. Canadensis, L in herb Linn., and it ap- pears to have been included in his description of that species — the specimens furnished by Kalm." WEST VIRGINIA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY 2/5 Near the summit of Point Mountain in Randolph county at an altitude of 3,500 ft., also along the Gandy in great pro- fusion. Pendleton and Pocahontas : on Little Rich Moun- tains abundant. The mountaineers claim that it is upon this species that the bears grow fat for their period of hiberna- tion, the fruit being late to ripen and very nutritious. Mr. John K. Small remarks in his Studies of Botany of the Southeastern United States, Bull Torr. Club, 21 :i9 (1894) in reporting this species: "Grows on the walls of the canon at Tallulah Falls, Ga. Collected in flower in April, 1893; alt. 1,600 ft. This most likely locates the southern limit of the geographical range of R. Millspaughii. Being a typical high mountain species, it is not to be expected much below 1,600 feet, and just south of the above-mentioned lo- cality the Blue Ridge 'runs out' into the plains. Further south the land decreases gradually in altitude until the gulf is reached. According to my observations the above plant thrives most vigorously at altitudes ranging from 4,500 to 6,000 ft. It grows well at lower elevations, but never in such a prolific manner." Mr. Small and Anna M. Vail also give in their "Report of the Botanical Explorations of South- western Virginia, 1892," the following additional localities for this species : "Above Fox Creek, on Pine ]\lountain in deep woods, alt. 3,000 ft. Summit and slopes of Mt. Rodgers, alt. 4,000 to 5,719 ft. Summit of White Top Mountain, alt. 5,678 ft. Slopes and summit of White Rock Mountain, alt. 3,000 to 4,400 ft." The species was also collected by Mr. T. H. Kearney, Jr., at the summit of Thunderhead (about 6,500 ft.), and on Chilhowee Mountain (at about 1,500 ft.), in Blount Co., Tennessee. Reports of the collection of the species in the mountains of North Carolina, New Hampshire, and northern Michigan have been made. The species is reported as common in thickets at Wilton and Southport, Maine (Fernald), and at Deering, Maine (BlankinsJiip). R. Canadensis L. Dewberry. Abundant on dry hillsides throughout the State. R. Allegheniensis Porter. Leucretia Dewberry. (R. Canaden- sis roribaccus Bailey). Dry hillsides. Randolph : near Beverly. This new variety of the species is described by Prof. Bailey in the American Garden, November, 1890, as follows : "Plant larger and stronger; leaflets broad below, usually tri- angular-ovate, doubly serrate with small teeth, and more or less notched and jagged; peduncles longer, straighter and 276 THE WEST VIRGINIA FLORA Stouter, liabituously more numerous and more conspicuously overtopping the leaves; flowers very large (sometimes two inches across) ; sepals uniformly larger, some of them much prolonged and leaf-like and conspicuously lobed (sometimes becoming an inch long and wide) ; fruit much larger."

Dr. Asa Gray, in his account of a "Botanical Excursion to the mountains of North Carolina," says : "On the rocky banks of the Potomac below Harper's Ferry, we saw for the first time the common Locust tree (Robinia Pseud- acacia) decidedly indigenous. It probably extends to the southern confines of Pennsylvania ; and from this point south, it is everywhere abundant, but we did not meet with it east of the Blue Ridge." The Blue Ridge forms our east- ern boundary line between Jefferson county and the State of Virginia. Our State is therefore the eastern extension of this species, though it extends farther north into Pennsyl- vania. R. HispiDA L. Bristly or Rose Acacia. Rich soils.

Leaves linear, elongated, 2-4-in. long, ii^-4-lines wide, acute; flowers solitary in the axils of the upper leaves or bracts, yellow ; sepals ovate-lanceolate acute, narrower than those of L. alternifolia ; branches and both sides of the leaves somewhat pubesent. Petals apparently remaining on the plant longer than those of L. alternifolia, which, as Dr. Millspaugh observes, commonly fall away when the plant is shocked." "Appearing very distinct from typical L. alternifolia, but presumably but a variety of it. From the description it may be the Rliexia linearifolia, Poir, in Lam.

Glabrous and glaucous erect perennials from stout hori- zontal to perpendicular rootstocks. Leaves ternately de- compound, the leaflets entire. Umbels borne on terminal and lateral peduncles, compound, the rays very unequal in length. Involucre and involucels none or rarely of one O'" two bractlets. Corolla not seen.* Calyx-teeth short, but evident. Fruit thick, strongly flattened dorsally, oval or obovate, glabrous. Dorsal and intermediate ribs of carpel filiform and very much narrower than the intervals, coming together at base and apex to form short prominent ridges ; lateral ribs thick, broadly winged and contiguous to those of the other carpel so as to form a broad one-edged margin around the fruit, nerved dorsally at the inner margin and also near the outer margin. Oil-tubes solitary in the inter- vals or often two in the intervals nearest the lateral ribs , two entirely developed and two partially developed on the commissural side. Top of fruit thickened by the converging ribs, but stylopodium absent or much depressed. Seed-face plane, the back rounded. P. MONTANA Mackenzie, Torreya 3:159 (1903). Plant 4-8 dm. high, entirely glabrous ; stems striate ; leaves several, the blades two or three times ternately com- pound; the segments entire, ovate or oblong-lanceolate, oval or oblanceolate, glaucous and strongly veined beneath, ses- sile or stalked, 10-30 mm. long, 6-20 mm. wide, mucronate, often inequilateral at base; petioles dilated at base, striate and clasping the stem; peduncles 6-20 cm. long; rays of umbels 8-12, 1-5 cm. long; rays of umbellets usually slightly more numerous, 3-7 nmi. long; fruit 5-6 mm. long, 4 mm. wide, the lateral ribs i mm. wide.

Approaching the question from another point of view : I worked qver a field near Morgantown this season, examining 783 small plants of L. inflata, many of which were not over four inches high, without finding a single simple-stemmed plant among them At the station above named, as well as that in New York, there was a goodly amount of the variety, with none of the species in the immediate neighborhood.

Leaves thin, lanceolate, acuminate, the upper finely, the lower sharply doubly serrate, 3'- 12' long, 5^ '-2^' wide, finely pubescent belozv, somewhat so above; in- florenscence open, its branches rather erect, the peduncles bracteate' for 2"-^" belozv the heads; the heads long-peduncled or the centre ones nearly sessile; the bracts greenish purple, acute to short-acuminate, ciliate, erect ; corollas light to dark » pink, not purple ; otherwise as in the species. Collected among plants of the species along Hound Creek, below Bailey sville, Wyoming County, alt. 1,100-1,200 ft, August 20, 1900 (Morris, 1274). Type specimen is deposit- ed in the U. S. National Herbarium. Through a misapprehension of the case the subspecies pub- escens was referred (Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash. 13 :i79, October 1900) to Vernonia giganfea of the Atlantic seaboard, which does not occur in the Alleghenies or westward. The species so common throughout the latter range is V. maxima Smali (Bull. Torr. Bot. Club, 27:280. May, 1900). Hence the name of the subspecies collected near Baileysville, West Virginia, is Vernonia maxima pubescens. (Morris). V. NovEBORACENSis (L.) Willd. Iron weed.

The Fossil Flora of West Virginia By DAVID WHITE The following list includes the species of fossil plants pub- lished by various geologists as having been found in the upper Paleozoic and Pleistocene formations of West Virginia. The plant-bearing beds represented belong to the Pocono, the basal formation of the Mississippian ("Lower Carboniferous") series; the Princeton conglomerate member, of Chester age, also in the Mississippian series ; several formations in the Pottsville group, the basal division of the Pennsylvanian ("Upper Carbon- iferous") series; and from various members or beds in the Alle- gheny, Conemaugh and Dunkard formations which constitute the remainder of the Pennsylvanian and the Permian in the bituminous regions of the Appalachian trough. The Quaternary system is represented by the Carrnichaels clay, an interglacial deposit of pre-Wisconsin age. In West Virginia the fossil plants of some of the formations, like the Allegheny, for example, have received very little attention, and the lists for these formations are accordingly short, while in' others, like the Quinnimont and Kanawha (both of Pottsville age), our paleobotanical knowledge is based predominantly on material from this state. The floras of the Conemaugh have had but little study, and their differentiation from those of the Mon- ongahela, on the one hand, or from those of the Allegheny on the other, is therefore at present very incomplete. The composition and characteristics of the plant life of the Monongahela also are but little understood, though it is known that the floras contain much that is present in, though not peculiar to, tJie Dunkard (basal Permian). The remains of a meager flora occurring near the lop of the Greenbrier limestone in West Virginia are wholly unstudied and unrecorded. Consequently they do not appear in the list. Further study will greatly enlarge a number of the lists from formations containing large and interesting floras that are as yet comparatively unstudied. Many of the names quoted in the accompaning lists are based WEST VIRGINIA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY 39I on preliminary examinations and are tentative, the collections hav- ing in a large number of cases not yet been fully studied. The differentiation of the floras of the lower Pottsville which Doctor White has called the Pocahontas group; of the middle Pottsville, which he has termed the New River group ; and of the upper Pottsville for which he has adopted the name, Beaver River group, is fairly well established. As initial, or invasion, stages the Raleigh sandstone and the Nuttall sandstone lentil of the Sewell formation are logically placed by the writer in the New River and Beaver River groups, respectively, of Dr. White. His Pocahontas and New River groups fall within the time cover- ed by the "Millstone Grit", and the Lower Coal Measures of Great Britain, the Beaver River group being referable approximately to the Middle Coal Measures and the "transition" series of Great Britain, while the Allegheny goes, for the most part, together with the Conemaugh and Monongahela, into the Upper Coal Measures of Great Britain. The beds up to an horizon possibly as high as the base of the Kittanning group of the coals in the Allegheny formation are of Westphalian age, the higher Pennsylvanian beds being of Stephanian age as these periods are defined in Con- tinental Europe. The Dunkard formation, the division originally proposed by Doctor White in substitution for the "Upper Barren Measures" of the Pennsylvania State Reports, is here used for convenience and conformity with the West Virginia state nomenclature in place of Washington and Greene, the two formations into which the Dunkard has been divided. The thanks of the writer are due to Doctor White and the other geologists of the State for the stratigraphic references of several of the fossil plant collections made fr'^m beds in the Alle- gheny and Conemaugh formations, the precise stage of these beds not having been determined prior to the detailed areal work now in progress by the State. Among the species in the list there are many that have not been recorded from localities outside of West Virginia, though most are known to occur in beds of the same age in other parts of the Appalachian coalfields. In order, however, to avoid the description of new species which must necessarily be accompanied by illustrations, thus unduly increasing both the volume and the expense of publication, the list is confined to species already re- ported from West Virginia, or — as in the cases of Lewis Tunnel in Virginia, or Brown's Mills and Jollytown in Greene County, Pennsylvania — from localities near the state boundary. The names inscribed in this list are based upon the identifica- tions of a number of geologists and paleontologists and represent not merely the work of different men but also the work of differ ent periods or stages in the growth of our knowledge of the 392 THE WEST VIRGINIA FOSSIL FLORA paleobotany of the upper Paleozoic. The identifications, there- fore, represent the diverse points of view and the interpretations of men varying- as to their special lines of scientific work, as to their familiarity with fossil floras, and as to their periods of study. The result is the introduction of some incompatible identifications and some confusion in the lists. There are doubtless cases in which the same species is listed under different names, while, in others, plants differing as to species, or even as to genera, ai'fe probably recorded under a single name. The results are the records as present of species not present in a given formation and the omission of others. The writer has attempted to eliminate the greater number of the paleobotanical and stratigraphic errors thus introduced. In numerous cases, however, for the sake of conser- vatism this has not been attempted. Obviously the errors cannot in all cases be eliminated without consultation of the original specimens, which appears to be for the most part impossible. In the first list, which is systematic and approximately com- plete, the name of the species is accompanied by the citation of either the place of its original publication or the publication in which the generic combination was first introduced. Other references are to papers relating to the floras of West Virginia. The lists given in Volume II of the State Reports are not cited for the reason that these lists are quoted from a paper of earlier date by the writer (Bulletin of the Geological Society of America, vol XI), which is cited. In passing mention should be made of the list of fossil plants of the State printed in Professor Millspaugh's "Preliminary Catalogue of the Flora of West Virgina" (see Rul. 24, W. Va. Agric. Exp. Sta., 1892, pp. 519-527). The fossil plant list in this publication was contributed by America's great patron of paleobotany, R. D. Lacoe, of Pittston, Pa. It is based in part on identifications made by Lesquereux in his last and enfeebled years, and in part on studies made by Mr. Lacoe who was, him- self, a high authority on the Paleozoic floras. Lack of com- parison of the specimens studied by Fontaine and White is re- sponsible for certain variations in identification. Full data descriptive of the formations of the Pennsylvanian and Permian in West Virgina, the position of the coals and their stratigraphic relations will be found in Volume II A of the State Reports, to which the reader is referred for all geologic informa- tion respecting the plant beds.
