33 April 13 (Monday) Left at 2:30 P.M. for South with Mr. Buhle, stopping over night at Dover, Del. Nothing of interest in bloom except Viola Rofinaequei in Delaware and large masses of Erodium bicarinatum in the peach orchards. April 14 (Tuesday) While waiting for ferry at Cape Charles, I examined a brook a few miles to eastward, finding only two Phlox in bloom, Viola jerinabifolia lanceolata and V. craccollata (?). Got ferry at 2:30 P.M. for Cape Henry, and reached Edenton, N.C. in evening. Nothing of special interest on way, except flowering introduced cultivated shrubs, and immature plants of Eriogonum tomentosus. April 15 (Wednesday). Wilmington To New Bern, and Edenton, Victoria in full bloom. Saw Moth's cordon program along roadside just outside New Bern Edenton, also Iris versalis. Reached Newbern and took wrap road (to Beaufort instead of Wilmington). Splendid pine barrens (but little in- helited) along this road with a good deal of Iris versalis. Cut southwest before reaching Beaufort, and skirted Pamlico Sound and its bays. Collected I. versalis, Sarracenia flava, Viola septifolia, Rhodo- dendron atlanticum, Liriopechium, Cephalia. Also noted abundant Descurainia Pavica. Reached Wilmington about noon in late afternoon, having seen Dionaea along railway in sandy country a few miles to the northward. April 16 (Thursday) Reached Charleston before noon, without stopping to collect. Myrtle Beach looks interesting. Visited Biddleton gardens, southwest of Charleston, or
