PUBLICATIONS OF THE MUSEUM. For the convenience of scientific workers it has been deemed ^expedient to issue the publications of the Museum in separate series for each of the sciences represented. The following series thus far have been established: Historical, Geological, Botanical, Zoological, Ornithological and Anthropological. A consecutive number has been given the entire set of pub- lications to indicate the order of issue. Each departmental series, however, has its own volume number and individual consecutive' pagination, making the literature of the science, or general subject, independent and complete for separate binding; or they may be bound in order of publication without relation to subject. Proceed- ings, fnemoirs, monographs, bulletins, and hand-books and catalogues of collections, are included within the scope of the publications. Full lists of the publications of the Museum may be found in the Annual Report of the Director. Publications are sent to societies and institutions of a public character that reciprocate with their own literature and to a limited number of scientists who are able to exchange. Two publications have been issued of the Botanical series: Con- tribution to the Flora of Yucatan (Pub. 4); and The Flora of West Virginia (Pub. 9). Contribution II to the Flora of Yucatan is in preparation. «^ FREDERICK J. V. SKIFF, Director. CONTENTS.

NUTTALL. The State of West Virginia comprises about 24,780 square miles of territory lying between 37°3O' and 4o°3o' north latitude, and o°45' and 5°3O' west longitude from Washington. Its outline of varied boundaries has become a synonym for irregularity, as a glance at the accompanying map will show ; it might also comprise the topography, suggesting as it does an immense field over which a gigan- tic plow has left a confused maze of deep and irregular furrows. This topographical condition is mainly due to the great number of moun- tain ranges and a vast network of rapid streams, that, rising in the higher altitudes of the eastern and southern borders, pass in varied and tortuous courses through the State, to augment the Ohio on the west and northwest, and the Potomac on the northeast. Along the low, as well as the lofty mountain ranges, there is com- paratively little tableland, and in the wedge-like valleys there is a like absence of extensive bottoms, except along Tygart's Valley River in Randolph County, the Great Kanawha and the Ohio. Although there are many mountain glades, some nearly dry and others swampy, plainly indicating their late occupancy by small lakes, there is to- day neither pond nor lake within the limits of the State, and very little if any stagnant water. As the major portion of the State lies west of the Alleghanies, the prevailing climate is much like that of western Pennsylvania, partak- ing little indeed of that southern atmosphere that we are wont to associate with the name Virginia. The prevailing soil of the hills and valleys is stiff clay, and sandy and clayey alluvium, over which there is in general but little loam. The clay of the more open steep hillsides is so unctuous and unstable that frequent landslides occur during Spring, sometimes of great ex- tent. This subsidence renders the valley streams muddy throughout the year. The rocks are principally sandstone and limestone, with some 69 70 FIELD COLUMBIAN MUSEUM — BOTANY, VOL. i. outcroppings of shales on the northeastern heights. The special' features of the now very fertile and then quite sterile soils, with the varied differences in altitude, as well as the vast areas of primitive forests, yield a flora of great variety, and often widely differing at points only a few miles apart. The amount of exploration necessary under such conditions to gain a full knowledge of the flora, becomes an arduous undertaking, though the interest in searching an almost virgin field is so deep as to greatly lighten the labor. BOTANICAL HISTORY. The early botanical explorers, Pursh. and Nuttall, found many of their novelties among the eastern mountains of this State, and the old Dutch gardener, Kin, here sought oddities for horticulture, but either on account of their limited knowledge regarding the geography of this section, or from the undeveloped condition of the area they traversed, the localities of their collecting are in most cases but imperfectly de- tailed. Since their time, with the exception of a few transient botan- ists who have incidentally worked over the neighborhood of some vacation resort, the work done on the flora may be summarized as follows : In 1867 and 1871, Dr. A. S. Todd, as chairman of a committee of the Medical Society of West Virginia, published a list of the "Medicinal Plants of West Virginia. " This list contains an enumera- tion of nine trees, seven shrubs and sixty herbs. In 1870, Mr. DissDebarr, State Commissioner of Immigration, in his "Handbook of West Virginia," compiled a list of the timber trees of the State, in which he enumerated fifty-two species and added twelve species of shrubs. In 1876, Professor Fontaine in compiling his portion of the Centen- nial volume upon the " Resources of West Virginia," listed more care- fully the forest trees, shrubs and medicinal plants of the State, draw- ing the last from the publication of Dr. Todd. This work contains an enumeration of sixty-nine trees and sixteen shrubs. In 1878, Profs. H. N. Mertz and G. Guttenberg manifolded a check list of the " Flora of West Virginia," being an account of work done along the upper Ohio bottoms, and in the mountains of the northeastern portion of the State, the latter while located at Harper's Ferry. This list enumerates fifty-nine trees, thirty-seven shrubs and four hundred ninety-four herbs. In 1888 and 1889, Miss Verona Mapel, Preceptress of the High School at Glenville, Gilmer County, quite thoroughly worked over her immediate vicinity in connection with her school duties. She reports JAN. 1896. FLORA OF W. VIRGINIA — MILLSPAUGH & NUTTALL. 71 in manuscript forty-two trees, twenty-three shrubs and two hundred: ninety herbs. Her list includes neither the commoner weeds and herbs, nor the grasses and sedges. In 1890, '91 and '92, the present authors began a systematic sur- vey of the State, publishing the results of their work in 1892 under the title of " A Preliminary Catalogue of the Flora of West Virginia." This catalogue included all known previous work and enumerated 1,645 species, giving localities, numerous critical notes, and descrip- tions and plates of several new forms. . In 1892, Mr. John K. Small and Miss Anna Murray Vail spent some time in Greenbrier County, exploring the vicinity of White Sul- phur Springs. The results of their work- are included in their "Report of the Botanical Exploration of Southwestern Virginia," published as one of the Memoirs of the Torrey Botanical Club. From 1892 to the present, the authors have continued their in- vestigation of the flora, adding the knowledge of over one thousand species to their preliminary list, and detecting many new localities for previously published species. This additional work forms the basis of the present publication. The small edition of the preliminary catalogue having been exhausted within a few months of its issue, and many institutions, libraries and personal workers being unable to secure copies of the work, it has been deemed expedient to include here all the species of that publication, without, however, repeating the body matter. These repeated species appear in small capitals, additional species new to the flora in black-faced type. As in the preliminary catalogue, all species that have been described from known West Virginia types are republished in full. SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE FLORA. The distribution of plants within the boundaries of the State is wonderfully comprehensive. Canada places representatives of her boreal flora upon its Alleghanian mountain tops, some that have even passed by the States of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Del- aware and Maryland in the transit; the Southern States contribute to its flora through the influence of the mysterious New River on the southeast; the great trunk lines of railway, as well as the open condi- tion of the western border line along the Ohio River, give entrance to individuals of a migratory character from the Western Plains; and from some not readily accountable reason, Eastern forms, and even coast line species stray within its limits. Of the noteworthy species we connect in Anemone trifolia, L. , Canby's and Curtiss' Virginian stations with Knipe's Pennsylvanian, and that in a direct and sequential manner through the State. Our 72 FIELD COLUMBIAN MUSEUM — BOTANY, VOL. i. . elevations for this species range from 850 to 2,300 feet. Trautvetteria Carolinensis (Walt.,) Vail, is to be found along all such mountain rills as are deeply shaded, at altitudes above 1,000 feet. We extend the Manual distribution of Caltha palustris, L. , southward nearly one de- gree, by finding it quite plentiful in the mountains of Randolph County, where Isopyrum trifoliatum (L.) Britt., keeps it company. Helleborus viridis, L., has its most western station on the north branch of the Potomac River, in Hardy County, whence it was first reported to Dr. Gray by Dr. Gamble, of Moorfield. Aconitum uncinatum, L., is at home all along the banks of Cheat River, at altitudes varying from 780 to 3,550 feet Both species of Actcea are to be met with on the higher Alleghanies, where Cimicifuga Americana, MX., is the principal representative of the tribe. Magnolia Fraseri, Walt., is a striking vernal feature of the whole Alleghanian region, while tripetala and acuminata are common. Ber- beris Canadensis, Mill, becomes a veritable weed in many fields in the southern portion of the State, vying with Papaver dubium, L. , and Glau- cium Glaiicinm (L.), Karst, in the northeastern section. Biciicnlla eximina (L.), Millsp., we have found only upon the highest peaks of the Alleghanies. Of the rambling crucifers, Sisymbrium Thaliana (L.) Celak, finds a home in Fayette County, and Lepidium campestre (L.), R. Br. , is the worst and most prevalent weed in the cultivated portions of the north- eastern section. Nearly all the violets lend their beauty to the adornment of the woods and meadows; Viola pedata, var. bicolor, Pursh., with flowers as large as the cultivated pansy and fully as beautiful, is frequent among the Devonian shales of the northeast; Viola primulcefolia, L. , comes in from the coast as far as four degrees ; and Viola hastata, MX. , is quite plentiful in the southern section. Although Sida hermaphrodita (L. ), Rusby, has not -been found in the Alleghanies as yet, it is not at all rare along the New and Great Kanawha Rivers, from Quinnimont to the Ohio, and thence down that river to the limits of the State. Hibiscus Moscheutos, L. , is found not only along the bottoms of the Great Kanawha, but also in the northeastern part of the State, while H. Trionnm, L. , is a quite com- mon weed in gardens. All of the native species of Aesculus, together with the var. hybrida of octandra, are found in the State. Ailanthus glandnlosis is becom- irjg a most troublesome weed in many sections, especially in the north- ern counties. Among the Leguminals we have re-discovered Astragalus Carolt- nianus, L., which from our specimens is considered by Professor Britton JAN. 1896. FLORA OF W. VIRGINIA — MILLSPAUGH & NUTTALL. 73 to be indistinct from A. Canadensis, L., and as it has the priority of publication, the latter well-known name becomes a synonym. An- other important discovery in this genus is that A. distortus, T. and G., habits the Devonian shales of Hardy County, the only station known for the species east of the Mississippi valley. This species is here associated with Opuntia polyacantha, Haw, in great quantity, giving this peculiar spot in the Alleghanies much the appearance of an arid waste in Arizona. Stylosanlhes hamata (L.), Britt. , here ventures far- ther east than has heretofore been supposed, and finds congenial soil along New River in Fayette County. Lespedeza striata (Thunb.), H. & A., spreads profusely throughout the southwestern portion of the State. A new clover, Trifoliinn Virginicum, Small, has been discov- ered in Greenbrier County, by Mr. J. K. Small. The roses are striking in the many new forms they produce: Rubus Millspaitghi, Britt., is so profuse in the mountains of Pocahontas and Pendleton Counties that, according to the mountaineers and hunters, it is upon it that the bears depend principally for fattening food prior to hibernation. Rubus Canadensis roribaccus, Bail)', the Leucretia dewberry, came originally from Randolph County. Another peculiar Rubus (R. Cclumbianus Millsp., has 5 to y-incised leaves of striking character. A new Spirea (S. Virginiana, Britt.) grows plentifully within half a mile of the' University at Morgantown. Mercer County in the southern section of the State, presents a wonderful array of Crategi: C. spathulata, C. cordata, C. apiifolia, C. coccinea, C. tomentosa, C. punctata, C. Crus-galli, C. flava and its variety pubescens, and C. • tiniflora were all found during one day's botanizing in this section. Of the Calycanths we have all, even the two species recorded "Virginia doubtful" in the Manual. Of the saxifrages we have notably, A stilbe decandra, Don.,Saxifraga frosa, Pursh., Boykinia aconitifolia, Nutt., Heuchera villosa, MX., and H. Americana, L., and even the Laboradorian Ribes prostratum, L' Her. Sedum Pulchellum, Nevii, ternatum, telephioides, and telephium, are with us. The beautiful Liquidambar Styraciflua extends limitedly down the Gauly and Great Kanawha. The Onagraceae yield a new form in Ludwegia alternifolia, L., var. linearifolia, Britt. The purple and 3'ellow passion-flowers (P. lutea, L. , and, incarnata, L.) grace the thickets. Passing many minor forms, the Compositae gives us Elephantopus Carolinian its, Willd. and tomentosus, L. (called as a weed "The Devil's Grandmother"); Eupatorium, cxlestinum, L. , profuse; Solidago Curtisii, S. rupestris, and Riddellii, Silphntm per'foliatum, L.; Rudbeckia speciosa, "Wend. ; Helianthus grosse-serratus, Mart., H. dorotricoidts, Lam., and 74 FIELD COLUMBIAN MUSEUM — BOTANY, VOL. i. H. laevigatus,T. and G., Verbesina Virginica, L. ; Cacaliasuaveolens, reni- formis, and atriplicifolia; Cnicus Virginianus, anApuniilus, Torr. ; Cicho- riumlntybus, L. ; Tragopogon porrifolius, L. ; Hieracium Canadense, MX., and hngtpiliim, Torr. (extending both); and Chondrilla jtincea, L., called as a weed " Naked-weed, Skeleton-weed." The interesting bell-worts are: the white form of Lobelia syphilit- tca, L., and the rare Campanula divaricata, MX. Of the rarer heaths Sciiollem erythrocarpa,M.x., grows on the highest peak of the Alleghanies, alt. 4,800 ft.; Chiogenes hispidida at the Falls of Blackwater; Menziesia globularis Salisb. , Clethra acitminata, MX., Moneses grandiflora, SalisL. . and all the Rhododendrons except Rho- dora and Lapponicum; even the rare R. canescens (Mx.), Porter, being found along the Cacapon River. Naumbergia thyrsiflora is found in Upshur County and Mohrodendron Carolinum (called Shittim-wood) is plentiful along the Gauly and New Rivers. Polemonium Van-Bruntia, Britt. , comes south to our flora, as well as all the Hydrophyllnms, together with P/iaceliij Purshii, Buck, and parviflora, Pursh. The beautiful morning-glories, Impomoea coccinea, hederacea, pur- purea, and pandurata, are all too plentiful as weeds here; and Cuscuta glomerata, Gronovii, and Epithymiim, have been found sparingly. Physalis viscosa, L., steals away from "near the coast" and is found along the Ohio River, keeping company with Lycium vulgare, Dun., and Physalodes Physaloides, Gaertn. The notable Scropularias are: Collinsia verna, Nutt. , Chelo ne obti- qua, L., and Pentstem&n Canesctns. Of the mints we have notably: Kcellia verticilata, clinopodioides, pycanthemoides, and Montana. The other mints worthy of remark are: Meehania cordata, Clinopodium vulgar e, Scutellaria saxatilis, serrata, incana, parr u la, and nervosa; Marrubium vulgare, Galeopsis tetrahit, and Stachys paiustris and cor data. Of the ten Euphorbias the .most notable are E. Darlinglonii and E. Glyptosperma, var. , pubescens, Engl., the latter not having been previously found east of Iowa as far as we can learn. The presence oiQuercus ;/rV//W/a,Wang, in Hardy Co. , extends the Manual distribution southeastward; and the southing of Q. macro- carpa, MX. is also extended by several stations in the State. As to the conifers, we have about 470,000 acres of Picea Ma riana, a few representatives of Abies balsamea, Thuya occidentalis, and several species of Pinus, as well as a few scant growths of Taxus Minor. Among the sedges the principal item of interest is there-discovery in Fayette County of what was doubtless the original type station of Car ex Eraser i, And. JAN. 1896,, FLORA OF W. VIRGINIA — MILLSPAUGH & NUTTALL. 75 Of the Equisetace(z\\\e most notable form so far found is E. Iceviga- turn, Braun. , gathered in the southernmost part of the State thus ex- tending its distribution southeastward. Of the Filices, the rarer forms found with us are: Polypodium po ly- podioides; Pellaa atropurpurea in great quantities in the southern sec- tion; Asplenium pinnatifidum, montanum (plentiful) and angustifolium; Dryopteris Goldieana, and marginalis. Cystopteris bulbifera; Dicksonia punctilobida; and strange to say on the summit of Spruce Knob at an altitude of 4,800 ft. Dryopteris fragrans, in such great quantity that it is cut and stacked for fodder, this species being greatly relished by cattle. Lycopodium luciduliim, L. , annotinum, L. , obscurum and its var. den- droideum, L. clavatum, and L. complanatum are all found in the for- ests of black spruce along the Alleghanies. In the mosses, hepatics, and lichens, but little collecting has so far been done, no systematic searches having been made for speci- mens in these classes of plants. Among the lithens several new species have been discovered, the descriptions of which are still in manuscript with Professor Nylander. In the search for hepatics incidental to other exploration, in Mercer County, the dry bald face of a large lime- stone cave yielded a new species in Plagiochila Virginica Evans, as well as a rarity in the eastern flora of the United States, Radula Xalapensis, Mont. Among the mosses we have been rewarded in our itinerant work by finding two new forms Dicranodontium Virginicus, Britt. m. and D. Millspaughi Britt. m., as well as numerous noteworthy species. The Fungi have been found to be of special interest, and ft is to their collection and study that Mr. Nuttall has devoted most of his spare hours from business since 1893. His field of search for forms in this class of plants has been very limited, being almost wholly the immediate neighborhood of his home at Nuttallburg, in Fayette County, on New River. Even this small area has furnished the major part of the 980 fungi of this flora, and continues to present additional forms as well as unique hosts upon every search, no matter how casual the examination or short the time devoted to the trip. Fully two- thirds of the species collected have passed under the critical examin- ation of Mr. J. B. Ellis, whose careful consideration of our numbers has been of incalculable assistance in this work. The new species discovered in this area, and described in this Flora, are as follows : Anthostoma microecium . Cercospora Chionanthi. Corticium leptaleum. Aposphjeria pezizoides. Cercospora (Enotherae. Coryneum cupulatum. N Aspergillusglaucusoblongisporus. Cercospora septorioides. Cyathicula quisquillaris. Botryodiplodia acerina. Clasterosporium Cornutum.

Beside these unique forms, we report many species from our region that have not been before credited to the flora of North Amer- ica, include many hitherto unpublished asci and spore measurements of species otherwise well described, and have transferred many not before well understood to their proper genera. The host plants have proven also to be of special interest in that many of them yield certain species for the first time in the mycologic literature of this country, and many others pose as altogether new to Host Indices. THE SYLVA. The State is very happily located for the growth of forests, be- ing in the favored belt of temperature between about 37° and 41° north latitude. Within its boundaries trending northeast and southwest, thus opening the country to the damp, warm winds from the Gulf, are numerous ranges of the great Appalachian, or Atlantic highlands, but by far the larger portion of the State lies on the westward slope of these mountains in the trans-Appalachian belt, the waters of which chiefly run northwestward and southwestward to the Ohio River. The altitude of the country descends from the Back- bone or Alleghany range of the Appalachians, from an altitude of JAN. 1896.^ FLORA OF W. VIRGINIA — MILLSPAUGH & NUTTALL. 77 from 2,500 and 4,800 feet to 500 at the southwestern corner of the State on the Ohio, at Kenova, and about 600 on the same river at Wheeling. The altitude of the eastern corner of the State at Harper's Ferry is 272 feet; thus the range of altitudes in the State is from 272 feet to about 4,800, giving a climatic range of 3,728 feet, or the equiv- alent of about 16° of latitude; consequently West Virginia has ex- tensive areas of adaptability for every variety of forest growth that is found within the limits of the northern States east of the Rocky Mountains. The most elevated portion of the State is the great eastern border of the ridgy plateau from which the trans-Appalachian country de- scends, a territory some 200 miles in length from the headwaters of the Big Sandy to those of the North Branch Potomac, this region is in the main from 2,500 to 4,800 feet in altitude, and furnishes a con- genial home to the black spruce, the white pine, and other evergreen trees peculiar to northern latitudes. West Virginia has a greater amount of hardwood timber in its forests than any other State in the Union. A thorough examination convinces us that nearly or quite two-thirds of the State remains un- cleared, and by far the greater portion of the uncleared land is still in virgin forests where the ax of man has never found its way, and where magnificent specimens of forest growth stand thickly side by side and reach a towering height, no finer view of standing timber may be had within the confines of the Union. These splendid forests covering over sixteen thousand square miles yield nearly every species found in the north. Here trees grow to such size that ordinary methods will not suffice to handle them, and are frequently so densely compact that the light of day scarce penetrates their shade, and path- ways must be cut before the ax men can find room to work. The following list of the trees of the State, giving the diameter of trunks and width of board yield, is that of the State exhibit in the Forestry Building at the World's Columbian Exposition, 1893.

The insects are probably killed by this fungus, as they lie dead in their burrows in the inner bark of the tree (Pinus Virginiand). Sporodochia minute, forming irregular masses, soft, somewhat waxy, white or whitish; sporophores slender, abundantly branched above, often compacted below into a short stem-like base, spores catenulate, short cylindrical, subtruncate, colorless, .00016 to .0002 in. long, .00008 to .0001 in. broad. On some of the insects there is a cottony or flocculent mass of white mycelium 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. ioo FIKLD COLUMBIAN MUSEUM — BOTANY, VOL. i. C. flagellaris E. & E. sp. nov.

Plants bright glossy green, stems matted below by a red tomen- tum, 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; persist- ent 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; perichaetial bracts 3-4 mm. long, from a short base, suddenly subulate, dentate at apex; pedicels lateral by the growth of innovations, 1^-2 cm. long, pale, glossy yellow, twisted in two directions, very slender, arcuate when young, be- coming erect before capsules mature. Capsule cylindric* ribbed only at the mouth, 1^-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 collected by Seringe; in the longer, paler, more slender, scarcely arcuate ped- icels, longer capsules, peristome not deep set, and teeth split only to the middle, more united than figured in the Bryologia JAN. 1896. FLORA OF W. VIRGINIA — MILLSPAUGH & NUTTALL. 187 Europea, Table 88. It may be distinguished from Campylopus Virginicus, also remarkable for its caducous 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. DICRANODONTIUM MiLLSFAUGHi, E. G. Britton, Fl. W. Va., 488 (1892) Plate. Monongalia: on sandstone boulder, deep woods, Tibb's Run (Millspaugh, 1596). Plant slight yellowish green, silky, caespitose; stems matted with rufous tomentum at base, 1-3 cm. long, a few denudate, roughened by the fragments of the slightly caducous leaves. Leaves secund or erect-spreading, 4-5 mm. long, narrowly subu- late from abroad base i-i^j 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 prosenchymatous toward the margin, vein thick, excurrent into a dentate slender tip, rough on back. Dioecious, perichae- tium 5-7 mm. long, bracts sheathing half their length, tapering to a long, slender, obscurely serrate tip, outer shorter, abruptly sub- ulate, more sharply serrate; pedicels recurved, burying the cap- sules among the leaves, becoming erect when old, 5-8 mm. long, stout and twisted in two directions; capsules pyriform-cylindric with a distinct neck, length about i mm.withdut the lid, which is as long as the rest of the capsule, with a straight beak; calyptra cucullate, entire; peristome red, connivent, teeth deep set, slen- der, split to middle, or perforate to base, striolate below, granu- lose 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 struct- ure of the base of the leaf, lacking the suddenly inflated basal auricles; differing also in the cells above the base, teeth not split to base, occasionally only perforate. From D. Virginicus it may be distinguished by the less caducous leaves, shorter, stouter, more arcuate pedicels, smaller capsules, and longer sheathing perichaetium. Through the kindness of Dr. Robinson I have been able to- compare these specimens with those collected by Sullivant on Grandfather Mt. in 1843. His also are fruiting, and an excellent drawing is preserved, hence I am able to assert that the speci- mens are almost identical. Sullivant's showing no naked stems, but many of the leaves are caducous. Dr. Braithwaite kindly compared the West Virginia specimens with Campylopus pyriformis, sending me specimens of this and the variety Mttlleri, and sketches of the bases of the leaves. It is evident that Sullivant was mistaken in referring his specimens to C. flexuostts, as they are more closely allied to Dicranodontittm longirostre, var. alpinus. DlCRANUM FLAGILLARE Hedw.

Porter render it evident that this rare and odd sedge came originally from Randolph or Barbour County, each of which lies between the headwaters of the two Kanawhas: " Muhlenberg, in his Descriptio uberior Graminum, etc., p. 265, under C. lagopus? \i\\\ds\\s C. Fraseri, Andrews adds these words: ' Habitat in Tyger- Valley, Pennsylvania?, unde siccam habeo et •vivam." Kin, the German gardener who collected in Pennsyl- vania brought it home, and his label reads thus: 'Deigher Walli in der Wilternus.' Dr. Gray has shrewdly conjectured that by ' Deigher Walli, ' or Tygert Valley, is meant Tygart's Valley, which lies further south in Virginia." In a foot-note, Professor Porter adds, "A box containing the Carices of Muhlenberg has just been discovered (1877) in the herbarium of the Academy, Philadelphia, and the label attached to the specimens of Kin's collection places Tyger Valley ' prope amnem Kenahway.' ' Mr. Nuttall has found a plentiful station for this species near Nuttallburg in the Great Kanawha region. CAREX STIPATA Muhl. CAREX VULPINOIDEA Michx. CAREX ^IOSEA Schk. CAREX ROSEA RADIATA Dewey.

"Nearest to R. villosus, but evidently a distinct species. Curi- ously enough there is a leaf of this species glued down on the sheet of R.

" Near the summit of Point Mountain in Randolph County at an altitude of 3,500 ft., also along the Gandy in great profusion. Pendleton and Pocahontas, on Little Rich Mountains abundant. The mountaineers claim that it is upon this species that the bears grow fat for their period of hibernation, the fruit being late to ripen and very nutritious. Mr. John K. Small remarks in his Studies of the Botany of the Southeastern United States, Bull. Torr. Club, 21:19 (1894) in reporting this species: "Grows on the walls of the canon at Tallulah Falls, Ga. Collected in flower in April, 1893; alt. i, 600 ft. This most likely locates the southern limit of the geo- graphical range of R. Millspaughi. Being a typical high moun- tain species, it is not to be expected much below 1,600 feet, and just south of the above-mentioned locality the Blue Ridge Tuns out ' into the plains. Further south the land decreases gradually in altitude until the gulf is reached. According to my observa- tions 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 Exploration of South- western Virginia, 1892," the following additional localities for this species: " Above Fox Creek, on Pine Mountain 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, ait. 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 i,5ooft.), in BlountCo., 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 (Blankin- ship\ RUBUS CANADENSIS Linn. RUBUS CANADENSIS RORIBACCUS Bailey, Am.
