1938. Manchester, Tenn. 85 has a pleasant clove-like prop fragrance; grows with H. cristata and H. ciliaris. It is evidently the same as the plant cited in Ames, Orchidaceae fore. iv. 171 (1910): "Tennessee (?) Cumberland Mts., 1888, Mrs. Bennett (&) (a form with entire labellum)." Sept. 15. Carex. (no. ) gigantea Ridge. Shallow water, with Potentilla. Not listed from Tenn. by Ascheringe, N.M., #. 468. (no.) Rynchospora macrostachys. Shallows water. Comp- ared with material from New England. Material from Tullahoma (4268) is true R. corniculata (not var. interis). Rhodora xx. 140 (1918). Hibiscus Moscheutos (no.) Shumps in shallow water. Grows a trifle higher than in New England, fragrance but otherwise identical even so to sense. Rudigia linearis (no.), Compared with Fernold's collection from Virginia and identical. Although listed by Salinger as the only one from throughout the state, I have never seen it elsewhere. Sept. 16 (Friday) Lyoporus rubellus (no.). Peculiar material, with sporeless boxes, having immersed in water. The nutlets are exactly 1 mm. long and appear much as in Hermann's figure Rhodora xxxviii t.439 figs. 9,10 (1936) Rhexia virginica (no.). Swollen bases, partly immersed. Scales answer 0.6 mm. long! Fernold found seed or .65+. Otherwise typical (Rhodora '37: 170 (1935)).
