Notes and News: New Plant Finds in Southern West Virginia

Mr. Gail Shrader has found a colony of Vitis rotundifolia Michx, near Mullens, Wyoming County, West Virginia. This species was reported by Millspaugh (Flora of West Virginia, p. 343) for Fayette, Randolph and Summers Co., in 1892, but these records are without recent confirmation, and no herbarium material exists. There are fourteen plants, one 3 inches in diameter and 12 feet tall, at the station. Herbarium sheets and fruits are deposited in Concord College Herbarium and West Virginia University Herbarium.
