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
