28 Monophylla, and Pinckneya pubera form almost imperceptible borders of the swamps. Feb. 28 (Friday) Cutmuud plants from Sylvaester, Ga. Pyrocephalus plumosus forms hard clumps, something like Juncus effusus. Baldwinia just coming into bloom. Serrate lanceolata and Eriscarlin decapularis abundant. Plants from Bote Mt. Tennes. Ilex multiflora. This forms small trees at the borders of Rhododendron thickets at the summit of Bote Mt. The ridged seeds distinguish this species from Ilex glabra. [I. lacrimata has much the appearance of New Feather, at least the sterile plants, the fruits on similar long pedicels. Frequent on Long Island.] Quercus smithii near the base of the hill with Helenium clavellatum. Feb. 29 (Saturday). Polygonum cilioides, evidently new to Tennessee, abundant at the rocky summit of Space Field. The Eupatorium trifoliatum (?) collected below the summit of Bote Mt., has 10-flowered heads, solid stem, lanceolate leaves, light-purplish flowers. Received 12 elsewhere from Bryant (Smith.). March 1 (Sunday). Visited local flora section. Claytonia in bud, the only sign of spring. Snow gone in exposed places, i.e., sand area and Knoll. Lycopodium obscurum var. dendroideum, from Clear Fork, Tennes., but previously collected by me at Rugby.
