Lycopodes in Sargent, N.M., Silva is certainly not B. lycopoides of Fawcett (therefore if he). Jan. 21. (Tuesday) (Taylor U.) Received from Study specimen determined by me as Kalanchoe rotundifolia. The African Elecharis is still a problem. No E. Hildebrandtii in herbarium in this country. E. compacta is evidently the same. Jan. 22. Wednesday, Revised E. nigrescens mes. Received from A. Austin a specimen of E. Baldwinii, previously known from N.C. to Fla. Continued work on African Elecharis. Jan. 23. Friday. Looked over Tennessee material: Viburnum from Crosville is V. pubescens var. Cantyi. It is practically glabrous—only traces of stellate pubescence on the veins, tufts of stellate pubescence in the vein angles below. The style base is pubescent-strigose—a character also of V. dentatum (which does not have stellate pubescence, and in which the fruits are smaller and subrotund), but not of V. affine, which has a glabrous style-base. Tilders' vars., Blandii and indianense are probably of little importance. V. medium differs from V. cassinoides in having lanceolate calyx lobes, in contrast to deltoid lobes of V. cassinoides. Jan. 24. Viburnum angustifolium (Sent. entry Jan. 8) from Cros- villle is same as Tindall's. Missurdy completed drawing of E. nigrescens Jan. 27 (Monday) Received Elecharis from Taylor (Joints). Also Flora Romanica (century), and a package of ferns from Dr. Seely, Arkansas. Tennessee plants from
