Galium triflorum from Bull Run has glabrous stems except at the angles and long filiform pedicels, in these respects dif- fèrent from the hairy short pedicelled plants of the coastal plain. G. triflorum from the same locality has short leaves, usually brittle, peduncles above, but with no prickles on the stems. The roots from northern New York and the west have large leaves and stems usually scabrous. Stebbins writes that the Sedum collected at Delphi, Ind. and Forked River, N.J. is probably L. Morssii, not L. hirauta. Nov. 20 (Wednesday) Blephilia hirta from Bull Run is characterized by leaf-blades which are a little scabrous on the upper surface, and only on the mid-vein beneath. This is in contrast to the hirta character described, and ap- parent in all other specimens examined. The lower leaf surface is thickly set with glands. Pycnanthemum incanum from Bull Run has deltoid calyx teeth without any stripee apical trichomes. This character I have seen only in two Arkansas collections. Possibly one of Small's species is represented. Received letters from Cord & Colesia. All material from Tennessee is apparently S. paniculata. Received two articles from Lower on Chilean plants. Nov. 21 (Thursday) Sabatia tractiata and S. compacta both at Jullahoma; the former in dry sandy soil, the latter in wet greasy areas with Xyris. Cyperus flarescens also found at Jullahoma. The Manchester barrens are perhaps just as interesting as those at Julla- homa. Both lie on the Highland Rim, at ap-
