April 23 (Thursday)
Collected in cedar glades W of Caneville Pike; great variation
in Senecio stylus, which occ[ur]s pale, has cream
colored flowers; L. uniflora with minute fls; but no trace
of L. torulosa. Ophirgordum Engelmannii locally
abundant; Phlox stellaris in full bloom; Plumerella
collecting in thickets. Met Glover at noon; then
to Caneville area, in which nothing whatever was to be seen.
Stayed at Fore's overnight.
April 24 (Friday).
Collected at Murphy'stown (a few miles south of the
town). Senecio torulosus (pale purple-flowered) the
most abundant species, occupying all the damp
mucky places in the glades. Sedum pubescens just
beginning to flower; Vicia microcarpa and Scabiosa
parado growly together at the margin of the thickets;
Koenigius fasciculatus in shade of the bushes. A
single plant of Borolus Previously to crossing at
Murphys' town, we went from Nashville by way of Lebanon,
thence to Gladsville. Great areas of Senecio stylus
cover the glades and damp roadsides along the
Lebanon road with patches of yellow acres in extent.
At Gladsville L. torulosa is more abundant, growing
with masses of Gordone aculeata ["Buckhorn" Cello-
quiste] and concealed edible] Setes Butleri.
L. uniflora less abundant and confined to immediate
roadsides
