Phyllus is probably not distinct. A survey of
Watson, Gray Syn. H., Tovey + Gray, seem to show that H.
hirsutus and H. divaricatus are close together. The descriptions
are poor in contrasting these two species if they actually are
distinct species.
Eupatorium sessilifolium, collected at Bull Run, Tenn,
is the typical material, apparently a # one of its southern
outposts.
Nov. 13 (Wednesday).
The Tullehoma area seems to be a center for
Siephium. S. brachiatum Guthrie - known only from
Cowan - is apparently confined to this area. It is a close
relative of S. perfoliatum. The commonest species, to
judge from herbarium specimens, is S. trifoliatum and
to this species I believe that the opposite-leaved plant
collected by me in 1930 at Grand Jct., belongs, and not
to the hairy S. intrepidulum of the Great Plains. S. Mohrie
was correctly named by me from Tullehoma, judging from
the illustration in Mohr, and the peculiar pubescence seems
rocky areas
characteristic. Material from Bull Run, resembling S. scaberrimum
is certainly S. Gatesii, and the material from damp shady places at
Bull Run is characteristic S. trifoliatum, such as is
seen from the Potomac region.
Apparently a new variety of Zizia aurea from damp
banks at Bull Run, differing from typical material in having
pubescent lower surfaces of the leaves.
Dissected and material of woodsia scopulina for Miss
Curdy. The indusium is not like that of W. mexicana,
but the outline of the pinnae appears decidedly different.
