Rh Mx., and longipilum, Terr, (extending- both) ; and Chondrilla juncea, L., called, as a weed, "Naked-weed, Skeleton-weed."

The interesting bell-worts are : the white form of ''Lobelia syphilitica, L., and the rare Campanula divaricata'', Mx.

Of the rarer heaths Schollera crythrocarpa, Mx., grows on the highest peak of the Alleghanies, alt. 4,800 ft. ; ''Chiogenes hispidula at the Falls of Blackwater ; Menziesia globularis Salisb., Clethra acuminata, Mx., Moneses grandiflora, Salisb., and all the Rhododendrons except Rhodora 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 Gauley and New Rivers. Polemonium Van-Bruntiae Britt., comes south to our flora, as well as all the Hydrophyllums, together with Phacelia Purshii, Buck, and parviflora, Pursh.

The beautiful morning-glories, Impomoea coccinea, hederacea, purpurea, and pandurata, are all too plentiful as weeds here; and Cuscuta glomerata, Gronovii and Epithymum, 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 Scrophularias are : Collinsia verna, Xutt., Chelone obliqua, L., and Pentstemon canescens. Of the mints we have notably: Koellia verticilata, clinopodioides, pycanthemoides, and montana. The other mints worthy of remark are: Meehania cordata, Clinopodium vulgare, Scutellaria saxatilis, serrata, incana, parvula, and nervosa; Marrubium vulgare, Galeopsis tetrahit, and Stachys palustris and cordata.

Of the ten Euphorbias the most notable are E. Darlingtonii and E. Glyptosperma, var., pubescens, Engl., the latter not having been previously found east of Iowa as far as we can learn.

The presence of Quercus ilicifolia, Wang, in Hardy County. [sic] extends the Manual distribution southeastward ; and the southing of Q. macrocarpa, Mx. is also extended by several stations in the State.

As to the conifers, we have about 270,000 acres of Picea Mariana, a few representatives of Abies balsamea. Thuya occi-
